Hi alex
An interesting one
This what I would do if it where me.
Go to C:\Documents\SH3
Make a copy of the SH3 folder.
Uninstall SH3 completely including the same game folder or delete it if still showing.
Use a registry cleaner and then reboot your system.

Install SH3.Installation path
examples C:\GWX
As soon as the installation is completed make a copy of it and rename the path to for example
and C:\LSH3 make sure the path is different to the other one.
This should work as at this point there are no saved game folders created.

You can make another copy as a back up unmodded if you wish.

If you are running Windows 10 both of your installion SH3.exe will need to be set set to compatibility Windows 7.
Run all applications as administrators.

You now run install 1 GWX and go to the naval academy and it will install your SH3 save game folder.
Go to where you saved your old SH3 folder and copy and paste the data folder to the new SH3 folder.
You can now install GWX and everything else you previously had when you are ready to do so.

Install LSH3-2015 as per my tutorial instructions.
When you go to the naval academy it will create your new V15 save game folder.
You should now have 2 independent games running.
Peter

Hi h
I am not aware of any larger tools available for LSH3-2015.
My suggestion would be to take a copy of the GWX or Magui mouse cfg file and experiment with it in LSH3 after making a back up copy of the mouse cfg file first.
If things do not work out you can always restore the original LSH3 file again.

Default New Rig

Hi all,

My current gaming rig is getting long in the tooth, so I took the plunge, ordered the components and hopefully will have a new machine built late this coming week.

I am running LSH III from a Steam install on my current machine. Once I have Steam installed on my new rig, can I just copy over from the old machine my LSH III folders to it?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi fk
LSH3-2015 is not compatible with STEAM.
If you are already running a STEAM conversion I can see no reason why you cannot copy everything over.

Ahoy fellow Kaleuns,

I have a few questions and I hope this is the right place to ask them. I'm currently running Living SH3 2015 and have some minor issues with it.

First, is there a mod or some other way I can use my keyboard to flip through the pages in the recognition manual? Playing without WO assistance and using the mouse to flip through the pages will give me carpal tunnel syndrome one of these days.

Second, in LSH3 2015 destroyer behaviour is very passive. I can attack a convoy and reload torpedoes at periscope depth without them noticing me or even actively searching for me, even in calm water and fairly late in the war. Enabling the mod "extended challenge" does not alter that in any apparent way. Is there a mod you know of that can make them more aggressive?


Thanks.

The options you have to change your game.
HSIE Options Selector in Mods HSIE V16B.
SH3Commander
Game Play settings
Different mod options in JSGME.

In regards to making the game more aggresive AFAIK this part of the game reflects SH3 rather than LSH3-2015.

Hi nik
It is not that you are being ignored just no one at present has an answer to your question.
Smoke is in data\Textures\TNormal\tex
And also in Mods\LSH3-2015_FULLVERSION\
data\Textures\TNormal\tex
Maybe you can compare the LSH3-2015 files to the stock ones.
If you decide to test with the stock files remember to backup the LSH3-2015 ones first.
Peter

very interesting :

1- i believe such a mod does not exist and can't be created.

2- AI detection parameters can be modified in data/Cfg/Sensors.cfg, data/Cfg/SIM.CFG and in data/Library/AI_Sensors.dat.
you coud test this mod (folders from gwx)
detection gwx mod : https://www.dropbox.com/s/blh4s7nova...20gwx.rar?dl=0

You could cheat by using the external camera and zooming in on the ship.
