With Grey Wolves Mod, Torpedoes cannot be launched

Sunchime · 05-17-07, 11:03 AM

Hi,

After installing the "Grey Wolves" mod, I cannot lauch torpedoes anymore. I tried manning the bow station manually and opening torpedo tubes manually, but I am not able to launch any torpedo - neither bow nor stern.

Deinstalling SSHIII and reinstalling (incl. 1.4b) without the mod makes torpedoes work. Installing the mod again keeps torpedoes from working.

I love this great mod. Is there any hint how to make torpedoes work again? U-boat without torpedo weapon does not make that much sense.

Thanks for your ideas.

Try it one more time, pressing Ctrl+Enter.

By the way, welcome aboard, Kaleun Sunchime.

Great idea. Alone, it does not help...

Torpedoes don't even launch pressing the Fire button on the graphical instruments.

Any other hints?

Hi Sunchime Welcome Aboard

Well this is a real head scratcher. :hmm: It's only targeting your torp fire huh? Well don't give up the ship.

There's alot of smart people here to help you figure this out. I don't happen to be one of them.:p

I always seem to luck out and everything works.

As the old saying goes..."All the skill in the world... Don't beat blind f--king
LUCK. :p :rotfl:

Be seeing you on patrol.

@ Sunchime : Aw...

Then I hope a GWX team member is going to come and give you the solution.
I'm sure it's the first time I see anybody having this problem in-game.

Thank you both for the warm welcome...

Yes, it does seem to affect the torpedo fire, only. I was on a patrol around Great Britain and approached my first convoy. I was almost amid of it when I realized not being able to launch the fishes.

Tried it on the training mission again - same result. The eeles won't come off.

So, I wil try to keep hoping that someone will be able to help me out of this...

Subsim's forum is the friendliest place I know.

Don't worry about your problem, you'll have the solution as soon as helpful people like danlisa and bigboywooly see this thread.

I'm gonna presume that by 'Grey Wolves' you mean GWX (it's much newer)

If you are, install it like this:

Delete any/all SH3 files from C\MyDocuments
Install a clean version of SH3 in C\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3
Patch it to 1.4b
Copy the folder and paste it to whatever drive you want.
Rename the folder ‘GWX’.
Now install GWX
Now install GWX (v1.0 whatever)
Create a shortcut to the desktop..
Install the SH3Cmd 2.7 plus the SH3Cfg file
If your going to use multiple installs I’d suggest a separate install of SH3Cmdr for each plus an install of MultiSH3.

Sunchime · 05-17-07, 12:44 PM

Just to be sure - I have got six files here:

- GWX.EXE (782 KB)
- GWX-1.BIN (163.068 KB)
- GWX-2.BIN (163.840 KB)
- GWX-3.BIN (163.840 KB)
- GWX-4.BIN (163.840 KB)
- GWX-5.BIN (154.685 KB)

I cannot tell which version this might be as I can't see a version no. within the files.

Are these the files to be installed?

Do I install GWX to the original folder or to the renamed GWX folder?

What's this SH3Cfg file you are talking about. I was not able to find it on your download page...

Are you using German keyboard layout ?

You need to add GWX 1.03 as well
Click below my sig for D\L

SH3commander cfg below my sig also

Sunchime · 05-18-07, 12:10 AM

Following jimbuna's instructions, it seems to be working now!

I'll let you know, when I'll have had my first attack (it was already late yesterday), but at least, I was able to launch a torpedo right in the harbour...

Installed GWX 1.03 as well - still need to check if German keyboard is working.

Thanks to all of you...

Sunchime · 05-18-07, 03:10 PM

Looks very well!

German keyboard is working as expected.

I just got my first merchand ship... with three (!!!

) torpedos...
