Grey Wolves Mod Freeware?

[oldpdb]

I have uninstalled SH3, reinstalled, patched to 1.4b and I thought I was ready to download the GW Mod. I go to the site, click on download and get directed to another site which is asking for a donation.
Is the Grey Wolf Mod Free or Not? Yes, I can donate! However, I have read nothing that says a donation is required for the download. So do I have to pay for the mod or not? If it is required the site should state "donation required to get the Grey Wolves Mod". In which case it is not freeware.
And no I am not new to these forums, I have been away for a long period of time and had to re register in order to post.

It´s free. The only reason why you can´t download it from Subsim is because Subsim has reached its bandwidth limit. You can still download it from other sites, check this thread:

Download it from Fileplanet or Rapidshare, the version that´s on Filefront is not the latest version.

The version which I just downloaded was the one on Filefront - RS was just too slow for me...

Is there an update that I could download to bring it up to v 1.1a, instead of having to re-d/l a 600+MB file?

*crosses fingers & hopes for an affirmative answer*

There are separate downloads to bring GW 1.0 upto GW1.1a. IIRC there was an bearing overlay fix. You might be able to find the separate download.

edit, found it. Check here

If not...

Check here, BBW offered an ftp download...might be faster

It's free. If there's a way to donate money for the team, I'll jump on it as soon as I can - they deserve it.

Mods in the SH3 community are by a rule, generally speaking, freeware. Your free to use them and share them however you like, however i think 99% of all modders would frown upon their work being used for commercial purposes. Your also generally free to use other's work as a basis for a new work of your own, but its considered good form to ask the orginal author first, or at the very least list what the orginal work was and it's author, in an attached readme file.

Thanks for the sentiment mate...

We cannot accept such things though. We do what we do out of a sense of responsibility to GW users and Sub-simmers... and because we enjoy working together and remaining independant.

We take a great deal of pride in what we do... and why we do it.

Besides, if you are in our boat... money is always horribly tight.

Thanks. I don't recognise the file type - I assume it's some sort of compression like *.zip or winrar. What software do I need?

If it's .7z -> http://www.7-zip.org/ also winrar opens them ok.

AFAIK, the one on Filefront is in fact 1.1a, even though in the filename it only says 1.1

Could someone confirm this?
I applied the 1.1 - 1.1a upgrade using JSGME. Hope that doesn't pork the install

Check out this thread for other download locations. The donation request you recieved enables you to receive GW on disc(IIRC) because the monthly bandwidth had been reached.

Hope this helps

Damn - Gizzmoe beat me to it
