GWX 2.1 and SH3 Gen compatibility

lobomarinho · 08-14-08, 01:56 AM

I am going to install GWX 2.1 today together with SH3 Commander and I wonder if it is also possible to add SH3 Gen to this combination of mods or if there are problems if I add SH3 Gen.

I have installed SH3 Gen with those mods with no problems, plus a load of other mods.
I have found that if you follow orders like a good kaleun, this mod puts you in all sorts of exciting danger, a "must have" mod for hardened aces.

You should experience no problems (as explained in my earlier PM)

Like Commander and SH3 Weather, SH3 Gen is an external tool that looks at the game and generates information, nothing else. It is completely harmless and doesn't affect the game at all.

As far as I know.

what is SH3 Gen and SH3 Weather i have never heard of them?

SH3 Gen is short for "SH3 Patrol data Generator".

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=88438

It's a small external program that generates some intelligence information (locations of vessels, convoys, land objects, etc.) based on a savegame. (So has nothing to do with modifing files as JSGME does) It gives you this in text form (in a window of Sh3gen, not sh3 itself), but it can also add those locations on you map using drawing tools. (I wouldn't say completely harmless, but the file modified does seem of secondary importance: .map, it's the collection of your lines/circles/waypoints/etc. ) Since the latest versions it can also generate a map-file that can be viewed using and external viewer application for geographical datasets in GIS format (Tatukgis, free but needs registration). It can give more allegiance information than the sh3 map and has some measuring tools, but it's not required for SH3.

Unfortunately the creator's website has been screwed up by hackers or virus so the explanation of what it does/screenshots is gone. (until he finds time to repair his website) Which is a shame as he did a very good job at that.

Sh3 Weather. I'm not sure but this looks as if it is it:

Sh3 weather settings in campaigns seem to have prefference for making storms/bad weather. This mod fixes those settings to minimise them. But I understand it is already incorporated in GWX 2(.1) so you may nod need it. Don't know what the "Sh3 Weather Report" part does though. New to me.

How do we install that SH3 Gen

Is it JSGME friendly?
