SH3 skin pack is it GWX2 compatable

Reece · 01-10-08, 10:34 PM

Hi, I was using a very large skin pack with my old SH3 Commander & GWX 1.03, is this compatable with GWX2, probably been asked before but couldn't find.

I would assume that being just skins that it would be ok.

Yes ... No!

Are the skins DAT files or are they TGA files?
If they're TGA's then you're good to go.

NO!!! (sorry for shouting)

It contains MANY .dat files that need to be repacked/replaced before it can work with GWX 2.0 forward.

Using it WILL break various ships in your game causing immobility and/or indestructability for starters.

Virtually EVERY ship .dat file in GWX 2.0 forward has been reworked for incomplete reflections and other matters.

You SHOULD NOT use the last release of the GWX skin pack for SH3 Commander.

We will replace it when we get around to it. It will be done, but there is not rush on this project. Sorry mates.

@Reece if you need other skins for GWX2 try VIID_play3_alpha skin by Tomi 099 compatible with gwx. Works well.

First post on here so be easy on me!!

Is this referring to the DATE folder on commander? I believe that loads in the correct skins depending on the date you're playing in career mode.

GWX2 has crashed several times during gameplay after waiting ages for commander to copy the date based files into the game. Whereas when I've bypassed commander and just gone straight in with gwx it works fine.

Sorry if I'm not grasping this correctly but is this the same thing as you're talking about here?

Great mod by the way!!
