GWX 3.0 is comming soon!
What can we aspect from the mod and what kind of new things are addit?
Or is it just a fix to make some other great mods to work together : community units, life boat debris, funnel smoke, some new ships, new st Nazaire harbour, Thomsen's ships, for example.:hmm:
I'm looking forward to this

You can be fairly certain GWX 3.0 will build upon the already great features in its predecessors. Fixing known bugs and other mistakes is a given.

As for new features?

My money is on a much improved version of the LifeBoats mod (with Rowers included), Tomi's fantastically crafted VIIC, and a playable Type XXIII.

The rest is also a matter of much speculation ever since news of the impending release of GWX 3.0 was made public.

The one certain fact you can count on is GWX 3.0 will be another amazing work from The Grey Wolves!

So much for not creating anything beyond 2.1

Glad I got a new computer that can handle the improved game. At least twice as powerful as my previous machine

How soon? I just upgraded to broadband and intend to get my hands on GWX.

The release date is currently scheduled for Christmas Eve

Can it be a day or 2 sooner. I would like to be playing it by Christmas eve.
And Christmas here is a day earlier than that in US.

These are just my personal guesses but from what I've seen/read on the modding forum...

Obviously we can expect all the various GWX2.1 bugfixes to be included. Installing these caused a lot of confusion for people so it'll be nice to have them installed correctly and automatically by the installer.
I very much doubt that "Thomsens Ships" will be included. Nor will any of PT's other mods, for that matter. STz's "Sinking Ships Fix" however, just might be in there...?
I doubt that my GUI will be included. It was not included in 2.1 and the same reasons for it's exclusion apply now just as they did then. However, I imagine my GUI will be just as compatible with GWX3 as it is with GWX2.
There's some new funnel smoke effects in the works, I think. No screenshots of the GWX3 version yet, but the NYGM version (which is already released) looks very nice, and in that thread people mentioned a GWX3 version is in the works.
KL stated that Rubini's water stream mod will not be included.

That's as much as I've been able to work out, so far. Anyone else got any info?

what i really miss are the longer wakes for ships

I've got longer wakes in GWX 2.1 including the community & AOTD-AA-Ships. Even though I've got a really good PC, there's some lag at high TC.

Can the OLCE2 ubermod be installed on gwx 2.1 / 3? or only the gui special?

onelifecrisis · 12-18-08, 05:35 AM

I should think the whole thing will be compatible.

my guess: OLCE2 will be integrated. somewhere here i read a statement from privateer, in which he said, that OLC "has done his homework" (or similar) and that he recommends this mod.
