The Grey Wolves Supermod

[Kpt. Lehmann]

After conversation with our file host Terrapin, and reviewing our download locations...

THE GW TEAM IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE PASSED THE 10,000 DOWNLOAD MARK!!!

THANK YOU GW SUPPORTERS, CONTRIBUTORS AND GAMESPY!!!

You can read more here: http://uk.pc.gamespy.com/pc/silent-h.../732541p1.html

FURTHERMORE, The Grey Wolves website includes a new feature for GW users... AUTOMATICALLY-INSTALLING downloadable GW 1.1a Supermod files. Visit the webpage for more information, including screenshots, online readme, and changelog! (The available downloads include the GW version 1.1 update and 1024 Cfg/Bearing overlay hotfix.)

I want to say to both Mr. Neal Stevens and Mr. JScones how grateful the GW team is for your generosity. I also want to thank Terrapin again. Your continued support is invaluable.

The GW team has gone back to work and is nearing completion of our next major release. We have actively listened to our users... and are doing what needs to be done to make the GW mod even more historically accurate and better than ever.

Guys, please note that The Grey Wolves Supermod was designed to be a stand alone freeware modification to Silent Hunter III.

"Unofficial" add-ons for The Grey Wolves Supermod are not supported by the GW development team and their use is NOT RECOMMENDED for the inexperienced or casual user. The Grey Wolves development team cannot be held responsible for any adverse effects caused by the subsequent modification of any files.

Filefront Mirror. (FileFront seems to work at a decent speed lately.)

This mirror is a bit different from the others in that the files are zipped when you download them. The reason being is simple... file-sharing sites like Rapidshare and FileFront just don't like BIN files!!! Ack!!!

All you need to do is this...
1) Prepare a fresh/clean installation of Silent Hunter III
2) Patch it to version 1.4b
3) Download and unzip all five segments into a single new folder on your desktop
4) Run the executable.

Please note: The Fileplanet link includes the entire package as one large download. You can find fast DL speeds and no waiting here:

Inclusions in The Grey Wolves v1.1a
·Fixed AI U-boat overlay and missing SH3 map

So what does this mean?
Will this GW1.1a be available as a single download for use with JSGME?

'The Grey Wolves' supermod is intended to be installed over a clean, unmodded installation of SH3, patched to v1.4b. To this end, it is really aimed at being applied in the same way as an official SH3 patch, so as to form part of the base SH3 installation onto which other (GW compatible) mods can be applied (ie via JSGME).

Hence, by default the installation routine points direct to the SH3 path.

However, and this is outlined in the installation instructions, should users really want to enable GW via JSGME, they can simply append "\MODS\The Grey Wolves v1.1a" (without the quotes) to the end of the installation path when prompted.

I will point out though that installing GW via JSGME will result in an extra ~4GB of hard drive space taken up by backed-up SH3 and duplicated GW files. Thus, committed GW users will benefit from installing direct into SH3.

If you have GW 1.0 plus GW 1.1 plus the subsequent "U-boat overlay and missing SH3 map" fix, you don't need to install GW1.1a - you already have what is in it.

If you don't have any GW installed, or you want a more convenient/user friendly GW "package", then these are the "official" files to d/l.

Ahhh thanx Mr J
Had only just put 1.0 on after a fresh install so will remove that and install this instead
Thanx for quick reply

Hey Gizz, your link just goes to some messed up text page?

Just to let you know, there will be no more "update" mods for GW Version 1.1

We are currently working on our next MAJOR release of the GW Supermod. This is still a good bit down the road... but rest assured it will happen.

TO ALL: Please do not ask, or pressure GW mod team members about release dates for the major build. There is a date set... but it must remain flexible enough to meet the needs of the GW team. For now, go sink some ships and enjoy yourselves.

To GW fans, whether you have realized it or not... we have been actively listening to you. Today we have put to rest the #1 problem that faced potential GW users... difficulty of installation. Thanks for hanging in there with us and all the words of support.

This is just the tip of the iceberg!

Thanks for reply, Kpt.Lehmann.
It sounds more interesting than earlier - next major release of GW seems to be a completely new game I suppose.
Keep your good work

Nice, will it be compatible with NYGM ? So can I run GW for graphics and NYGM for realism ?

[bigboywooly]

Nice
Downloaded and installed sweet as a nut
But:hmm: I notice there are no actual ports in the Kiel canal now - just the names and a black dot
And the shortcut bar is the same as GW1.0
