GWX 1.3 Mod Problem

I have followed your instructions to the letter, with the reload.

Now, do I follow the JSGM Help file instructions, since it is already installed?

Or do I run JSGM and pick what mods I want to use & then start SH3?

Double click on JSGME and ensure you have a MODS folder in your game. If you have, your good to go, enable the mods of your choice and.....SINK EM ALL!!

After confirmation of the mods folder, I selected the following mods:

1) Lite Harbor Traffic
2) Navigation Maps and Grid References in English
3) No Crew Medals Displayed while at Sea
4) Reduced Positive Buoyancy

Next, I started a new career, added a few more crew members, and then loaded up the game. The game started in PORT in the command room . Next, I selected Navigation maps. The maps came up & all of the seas & straits, etc. were still all in German!!

I then proceeded to go on the bridge to look at the lookouts. Since they are just starting their career, they will have no medals. However, they all did have the German "Eagle" emblem on their left chest. Should the eagles still show even if I selected the mod that will not show crew medals at sea (actually I am at port when a new career starts)?

Side note: When loading GWX I am not using newly downloaded bin files. The ones I have been using are the 5 GWX bin files that I had downloaded from about a year ago. Are those still good or do I need to do a fresh download of them?

In case to say I need to redownload the 5 bim files, I have just done that however, I'll wait to hear from you before I run them. I also downloaded a new GWX.exe. file.

I noticed there is a GMXsetup file. How is that different than the GMX.exe file?

You have to zoom in on the nav map to a high magnification.

The eagle is an emblem/badge, not a medal, so yes, they should show.

Everything sounds/appears okay to me. With regard to the exe and the 5 bin files, I obviously can't vouch for them as you make no reference to their origin. I can however vouch for those obtainable from my sig.
If you want to be 100% certain, take the ones from my sig

I just tried play sh3.

It seams as if I got out of the harbor in a lot shorter time than normal (reduced harbor traffic). Using the charts I didn't see any English. I thought of permanently loading the English map mod into the game. When I attempted to, it was already showing the mod file already in the game.

Do you have any other ideas?

I'll load my version tonight and get back to you

Okay, with the Integrated Orders mod enabled....the English names show up when your zoomed out. Zoom in approximately 3 levels and the names/words revert to German
