[Help] Bizarre SH3 Career problem.

mrbeast · 10-13-07, 04:50 PM

I've seen a few weird things but this just takes the biscuit! For some unknown reason Sh3 wont let me start a career mission from anywhere but off the coast of West Africa.

I go through the office all the usual stuff but then instead of me starting off in port it puts me in the middle of the ocean off the west African coast! I even tried a clean install but it keeps doing this.

Can anyone help with this I know its wierd one I haven't got a clue why this is happening.

Yepp just like I thought. Bernard found a new island

there and made it a u-boat base for operations.

i really do not know what do do anyway. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Delete the SH3 folder in C: My Documents. It holds your career information including the starting location for your u-boat. When you start the sim again, a new folder will be created.

Just noticed some of the ships are missing their turrets too now. This is all I need.

Has anyone encountered similar effects?

Without Bernard that is!

This is a stock SHIII bug which puts your starting position at 0 degrees lat and long.

If you go back to an older save you should be OK. Failing that you may have a conflict in your config somewhere and you may need to delete the SHIII folder from your My Documents folder.

Sounds like you have a conflict with a mod you have loaded. What mods are you using and what order are they loaded?

Its putting my start location as

DeparturePointLong=-286145.000000
DeparturePointLat=5673386.000000
DeparturePointHeading=180.000000

And I've got the following installed with JSGME:

GWX - Main movie - 'Das Boot'
GWX - 16km Atmosphere with more reflections
Enhanced Ocean effects for GWX 16km Ver 1.0
Longer Wakes v1.0 for GWX
CAM-Ship
Coal and bulker Ships
Improved Empire Freighter
M35Hansa
NDLLiner
NECT_Hansa
NKGHAN
NKLSS_Hansa
NKMCS_Hansa

NPL_Hap
NPL_KDF
TSBremen
USS_BattleShips+GUNS+TEXTURES
Skinpack_Tanker
Nomograph
Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_1_06_ALPHA
Racerboy_Enemy_AI_StarShell_test
Racerboy_VIIb_SDDE_ADM_2_05_GWX
Racerboy_VIIc_41_SDDE_ADM_1_03_GWX

TypeVII_Open_Hatch
TypeVII_Open_Hatch_HiRes
RelocatedObsScope
Fubars camo IID
FUBARS IXCcamo

I also used the res fix that was posted not lond ago don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I get this prob with and without SH3 commander

Got It!

It was this little bugger here:

Racerboy_Enemy_AI_StarShell_test

must have been causing a conflict somewhere, was the first thing I tried removing and it went back to normal, Lorient sub pens as it should be!

Thanks for the help that had me really scratching my head very strange bug.
