YES

No problems! it's best to have the right instructions.
Growler, follow these, mine were just off the top of the ol' noggin, and not accurate.
Enjoy the good times ahead!

Try playing it on a Pentium 3 933Mhz 512MB ram, 256MB Video Card.....Takes forever to load and gets quite choopy at times.......but still happily play it

.

Using GWX

Plus this is my first post, since I have been a lurker for a long time hehe....

Growler · 06-12-07, 05:58 PM

Great words of advice, all, I thank ye again!

Cleaning up this PC before I do the installs necessary; diskkeeper, etc. Then, to sea!

Welcome to Subsim Evil Genius. Here is your potato peeler. Fritz is waiting for you in the galley... and since it is Tuesday... IT IS ONION DAY!!! Aren't you lucky!

May your stay be a long one. (At Subsim... not the galley.)

I really hate it when things get choopy too.

Growler · 06-12-07, 11:10 PM

I'm just glad my onion-chooping and potato-peeling days are behind me now.

No, it looks like I'm a loader now.

I've never lifted an 88 shell before, or a 105 for that matter, but I don't imagine it could be much harder than holding up the 55lb practice slugs aboard Taney.

Evil Genius · 06-12-07, 11:33 PM

Thanks Kpt. Lehmann
Oh boy onions!!! I love how they make me cry..

Just hope that the tears dont drop onto the new computer I am building which is a AMD 64 X2 6000+ 3Ghz, Geforce 7900 256MB SLI, 2GB DDR2 Ram, computer

And of course SH3+GWX will be the first thing that goes on after the PC is set up.Mawhahah

And choopy would probably be more accurate, kind of like trying to chop meat up but having to saw the bones that are to thick. Anyway I would rather have to peel potatoes or chop onions than go back

Growler · 06-13-07, 12:13 AM

OK, last thing before I sleep, then tomorrow I sail!

There are three files listed on the GWX d/l page for the excellent SH3 Commander utility. Question 1: The cfg files go in the cfg folder (duh)... but the existing cfg files from the old SH3 install... do I need them there, also, or should I back 'em up and remove those files only from the cfg folder?

Question two: The other two files for SH3 Commander... the skins pack and the random data offset: Where do I need to drop these? That's the only thing that I didn't find on the GWX site (Maybe I should RTFM again?)

Thanks again!

In answer to your first question, you can just leave your existing SH3 cfg files from your base installation alone, as they will be overwritten as necessary by SH3 Cmdr.

One of us will have to get back with you on your second question.

Found it in the skinpack readme.

To install you will need to unzip and copy all files into your \SH3 Commander\Date\ folder. When you launch SHIII from SH3 Commander the appropriate skins for your patrol date will be copied into your SHIII installation. See the SH3 Commander documentation for more information on installing and using this skin pack. Due to the large number of skins being replaced you can expect SH3 Commander to take several minutes to copy the files into the SHIII folders. You will not be able to view paint schemes changing with time by browsing the dates in the museum, in SHIII this only shows changes in weapons loadout. To view skins for a different date you will need to exit SHIII and launch the game from SH3 Commander for that date.

For those with not so fast pc's like me, there was also another way to make SH3/GWX run far more smoothly.

Can't remember the thread though...

I do know it meant loading Windows into RAM so everything else is totally dedicated to GWX. It did improve the performance quite a bit.
