Running Older Missions In GWX3

Aviar · 12-26-11, 12:00 AM

I decided to get back into SH III after several years away from the game. I installed the game, patched it to 1.4b and then decided to install GWX3 GOLD.

Everything seems to be working fine but I have an issue with some old missions.

I used to make SH III missions back in the day and so I wanted to try them in GWX3. Unfortunately, they are not working. When I load the game I see my old mission names in the mission list, but when I click on one there is no briefing info and if I click on START, nothing loads.

I fired up the Mission Editor and loaded my old missions and hit SAVE, thinking that might somehow 'update' them to GWX3 standards. However, they still would not play in the game itself.

I noticed that in GWX3 GOLD they included a couple of my original missions (Ice Ice Baby 1 & 2), which were created in unmodded SH III, as were all of my missions. So, it appears that they were able to get them to work in GWX3.

Does anyone know how I can get my old unmodded missions to work in GWX3 GOLD?

Most of the vessels in GWX3.0 have been given modifications...both your missions ready packaged with the supermod do work though.

Yes, that's my point. If I take an original copy of those missions (which I still have) and try to play them in GWX3, they won't even load.

So I'm trying to find out how I can get them to work in GWX3, as I have other original missions that I created and would like to run in GWX3.

I don't think that is possiple because damage models etc. were tweaked...far better you use the current ME in GWX3.0 to create new missions.

Ok, I tried a little test experiment. I simply took one of the default missions (Bismark), made a copy of the mission folder and renamed it.
So, this mission should run perfectly, correct? It's the exact same mission but in a new mission folder.

Well, the mission does not run. When I click on the copied mission name, the briefing does not appear and if I click on Start nothing happens.

The mission SHOULD play without any issues, since it is a default mission and was not edited at all. I tried the same test with default GMX missions and the same thing happened.

Is this some kind of limitation with GFX3...? (In other words, no new single missions can be added to GMX..?)
