GWX 3 or LSH ??????

drakkhen20 · 01-10-15, 12:45 PM

is there an updated version of GWX 3.0 Gold or any updated add ons? I was just wondering because ive been away for awhile and ive dove back into it with another powerful PC so im gathering my Mods and I have GWX 3.0 Gold on a hard drive already. so I was wondering before I started DLing the batch files and all that. Another question is now when I first started playing SH3 8 years ago I used GWX and then went to Living Silent Hunter. im kinda torn between the two when I freshly install SH 3 so what should I do here lol ?

I have more add-ons Mods for GWX as LSH is one huge mod collection. I just downloaded those awesome Uboat packs of the SH5 uboat conversion which is more compatible with GWX. so as I said im torn....

Thanks,

IMO, the easiest solution would be to make multiple copies of SH3, use MultiSH3 to set up separate savegame folders for each copy, and install any and all of the megamods that interest you. That way, you can try them and see which one you like best. In the long run, yours is the only opinion that matters anyway.

BTW, don't forget to give NYGM a look, too. It has the most stress on historically appropriate gameplay, and with all the add-on mods, it looks pretty good too.

well actually I stress about that to myself about making SH 3 really really accurate and as close to real as the game permits. I like the real looking uboats and weather and guis and ai and docking. im not great at manual targeting so I stay away from mods like that. ive tried and tried to do it but now my real life doesn't permit me the time either to sit down and do those things much anymore so Im wanting to set up SH 3 where I can jump on do a patrol for 4 or 5 hours and save it if I have to to finish another day. I used to play the crap out of GWX but I like LSH for its micro management of actually going through locks at ports and such. if these two mods were combined it would be perfect for me.

can NYGM be used with GWX ? I just checked out a couple of vids and D-Loaded all the files. I watch youtube vids from a user called Wolfpack, in his comments he listed his mods in order but wasn't clear on if he was using GWX with it or not. so im all confused now .

No. They are two completely separate supermods. In theory it would be possible to combine elements of the two, but it would take someone with a lot of experience a very long time to compare the separate files and make them work together. For the average gamer they were built for different reasons and not meant to work together.

lol, so in another word. they aren't compatible. Gotchya

Use S3F - it includes the code of S3M and even does the copying for you.

Mea culpa. Most folks like 'em ready-rolled, but a few of us old dogs still roll our own.
