Hello everybody! (Including a question)

andwii · 01-12-12, 11:09 AM

ive gone through 1 complete carrer, but now I use the realistic carrer lenght with SH3 Commander. Anyway I recomend deffently getting the commander, then GWX 3.0 Gold, I use the lifeboat mod, and the deck gun in all weather mod, mostly because its a bit unrealistic, oh I can use the deck gun because its raining, what ever will I do! Send bernhard out there!

Welcome Aboard

Welcome to this nest of ruffians and enjoy your game

Herr-Berbunch · 01-12-12, 04:36 PM

Welcome aboard

If you use Commander (which I wholeheartedly recommend you do) and GWX (3 - it is that latest, and last) then you'll also need the GWX3_SH3Commander_CFGFiles.exe file available from Jimbuna's link in his signature.

I'm suprised it's not already been mentioned!

I wish you the best of luck getting to 1945.

Welcome aboard Avenger176, have fun, make friends and enjoy your stay. I'm guessing you spotted Frontier's youtube vids, nice vids, I'm subscribed myself

Have to echo Steve's remarks, I too have never completed a career, but it's a hell of a sleigh ride trying

Best regards.

Welcome aboard!

I have never made it through the war alive, so good luck!

You may very well have problems in widescreen!

For me (and I forget my resolution now), when I used the widescreen mod I had two problems, one major, one minor:

The major problem:
When you click inside the periscope or UZO view to turn the scope, when you then click again to exit the scope the cursor re-appears directly over the torpedo fire button and fires whatever tube is currently selected!!!

The only fix for this is to install a mod, such as some of the TDC mods that re-locates the fire button. Or change to another, sub-optimal resolution.

The minor problem:
Attempting to do a screen capture causes a crash to desktop.

So now you have people shooting the deck gun when waves are washing clear over the bridge. Much more realistic.

Avenger176 · 01-12-12, 07:44 PM

Hello guys!

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome, surely havent expected that! Thanks for the information, too!

Since I have little to no experience with Silent Hunter III and mods I came here to seek answers to my silly questions

I honestly havent expected that much activity! What I got out of your kind suggestions is the following: I will certainly get

- SH3 Commander (I have no idea what it really does but I will find out in a few minutes :p)

- GWX 3.0 Gold (Since its simply stunning and pure awesomeness in one go!)

- The amazing extended interior mod v 1.0 (I was blown away when I saw this)

I have no idea what else to get. I was specifically looking for the alternate GUI (Is that how you call it?) Frontier is using in his videos. Since I am planning to play on the highest possible realism settings (God help us all lol) I want to be starting out as complete as I can. However, no luck so far... My search will continue! As soon as I have all these mods I will probably start.

Another question came to my mind! Right, so I am a total newbie and I am no experencied player by all means. I still havent figured out how to manually hit a target with a torpedo but I will work on that with the help of a few guides here. My question is, are some of you still having multiplayer games in SH3? If thats the case, I would be more than happy to meet up with you as soon as I am actually able to play lol. Wouldnt be too much fun if I am not even able to hit the Titanic with a torpedo, right?

Once again, thanks for the great welcome in your forums!

Regards,

Avenger

Herr-Berbunch · 01-12-12, 08:05 PM

If you have a good spec PC I'd recommend the Merchant Fleet Mod - lots more juicy targets

Other mods, Lifeboat and Debris, modified searchlights, no continuous ship spotted.

Oh, and skins, lots of skins, Fubar's in particular

Take a peek here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=170090

As for multiplayer, I don't think there is a huge online community, you could try PMing PaulH513 and see if he still goes online.

Avenger176 · 01-12-12, 08:36 PM

Oh great! I was looking for these 2 (Lifeboat and Debris, modified searchlights) but couldnt remember the exact names... Hah! Excellent, my folder should be almost complete! Now just to find that modified UI or GUI or whatever you call it :p

Edit: Thanks for linking me to that thread Herr-Berbunch. Amazing what the modders have done! Simply stunning. I cant wait to get started! And I also found the modified GUI thanks to your link, yay

Sailor Steve · 01-13-12, 02:03 AM

Thanks Sailor Steve but... That is exactly the same link of Herr-Berbunch

He posted it right above haha. Thanks anyway, that is probably the best help to find all the stuff I need.

Well, I was hoping for my first run today but some problems occured. First of all it was a PAIN in the arse to fix my widescreen problem. Yeah I had a huge problem. It was all stretchy and pretty much unplayble, no idea why or how this happened. When I got around that problem the next one occured right away. I tried to start the first training and - CTD without an error message. Lol

No mods installed so far, just wanted to start up the game for a test run... I might just try to install some mods. maybe they magically fix the problem but I doubt it... Gonna do some research to find out what the heck is happening!

Jimbuna · 01-13-12, 09:34 AM

A quick route to all Fubars skins....click on the link above my sig.

Hi Avenger I'm not 100% on this but I think the GUI that Frontier uses in his video is Hitmans. I can upload it to my gamefront account if you'd like and if that's ok with Hitman.

Best regards.

Avenger176 · 01-13-12, 10:44 PM

Thanks for your kind assistance, more than appreciated!

So yeah, the only thing I am missing right now is the GUI. I wasnt really able to find out what it exactly was, Fontiers GUI looks like the thing to go with when learning the game. The only problem I have atm is holding me back...

I really want to start but it would be wiser to wait until that crucial part is available! Frontier has uploaded a list of the mods he is using.

http://forums.voltronarmy.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1821

There are some confusing things about the list. Firstly, I cant make out any GUI mod in there... Due to my lack of experience I guess

Secondly, why are some mods greyed out and others in bold black? Does that mean the greyed out ones are deactivated and on a "standby" mode?

Regards and a happy weekend guys,

Avenger
