[REL] Rik007: SH-3 Night surface attack project [REL]

[rik007]

Hi Doolar,

1. was the Merchant Ship Mod (full) issue corrected witl the new version (1.19)

There was an issue with FPS performance. That one is solved as 1.19 has been optimized .

The memory issue (CTD) with the full Merchant Ship Mod was unrelated to the night surface attacks mod as the CTD's also occured when only the full Merchant Ship Mod was enabled. The CTD's do not happen always so that makes it confusing.

2. (the dumb question) The installation instruction stated to run the patcher but it didn't state to copy the SH3.exe to that patcher folder. I would assume you do. is that correct.

Dumb questions do not exist for me and this is not even a dumb question at all . The patcher will take the sh3.exe from your sh3 folder and store the patched sh3.exe into the 'SH-5 Moon mod' folder. So you only need to enable it afterwards with JSGME.

The weather changes for me have been awesome in the last 2 versions. I have only played Fifi's NYGM Enhanced recently so can not comment on other mods.

Thank you for your replys. Suppose to rain here tomorrow, now I got a project.

Didn't rain today but I still messed around with the "Night Surface Attack Project" mod with OneAlex 1.53. Had 0 issues with installation and a test patrol, which is still in progress. I'm headed north to catch the Northern Lights if I'm lucky. Heres my mod soup if your interested. It's kinda robust, which is good for my test.

Ok Guys, it is raining over here....

Actually this post should be somewhere else as the CTD while loading the merchant fleet mod in OneAlex is unrelated to the night surface attack mod.

I didnot like that I could not load the full merchant pack as it is great . So I investigated it and this is what worked for me:

In your windows documents folder you will find the sh3-settings:

c:\users\<your username>\documents\Sh3\data\cfg

After I removed all files expect for the careers folder I fired up sh3 with the whole bunch:

No fatigue
Merchant ship pack 'full' for Onealex 1.53
SH-5 Moon mod
SH-5 Moon mod settings for OneAlex
SH-5 Water for SH-3 20 Km Atlantic V1000
SH-5 Volumetric Clouds for Moon mod

... and I started a campaign in 1943 and it all worked fine. I saved it and reloaded it and everything still worked.... It would be wise to backup this sh3 folder stored in your document folder before hand. Afterwards you can restore the settings if required.



@Doolar: I advice you to enable 'SH-5 Water for SH-3 20 Km Atlantic V1000' (before the Volumic clouds) as the settings in 'SH-5 Moon mod settings for OneAlex' are tuned for that and you will have nice wheather transitions and a great environment

[Doolar]

Will do. Thank you

Hey rik007, I tried what you suggested by removing the 'main.cfg'. when I do SH3 wont start via SH3cmdr. I says that it can't find .... and for me to restart SH3 which then re-creates the Main.cfg file and SH3 restarts for a bit. In the early war all seems good but 1943 on , it either CTD or I get a RUNTIME ERROR. I've tried with and without the SH5-3 20km Atlantic v1000 option activated. Sorry to say it's not working for me. I'm open to suggestions. So I'm going to pump the brakes here and see if I get any more insight from you or anyone that would like to share how they got it working. I won't give up because I believe this mod is a game changer, and maybe something needs tweaked somewhere. I had 1 more idea, just for the heck of it I deleted my "Saved Games folder and started SH3 from the SH3.exe to re-establish it. Then started the game normally via Commander. Thought I had it , but It crashed after 48 minutes. Darn !!! Thanx for your hard work for our benifit.

Hi guys, i followed the intructions and im using Toyotagt86's Enhanced mod for GWX3.0 Version 2.2, so i assumed the stock GWX mod settings wil be the correct to load. The problem is i get a CTD when it finishes loading the navigation course.
Im using win 11 and i also loaded the win 11 fix and tried with onealex mod settings also and the result is always a CTD. Can someone point me to the right direction?

Kumando,

Sorry I don't have an answer to the problem but I have the same thing now in my own install. After the most recent Windows 11 updates now my Onealex install crashes even on the Navigation exercise.

I don't believe it's the fault of Rik's very fine work on this game concluding its 2nd decade of history. No, it's Windows messing us up, and this will only become more apparent amongst users I think in the near future. Somehow we're going to learn to overcome this. Stay tuned I guess.

Night Surface attack mod awesome by the way.
