Default Black Contacts

So I, like a few others here, have found the black contacts to be quite annoying when trying to plot out attacks. I have read the instructions for reverting them, however I dont have a back up to retrieve the data files needed.

More problems arise as I try to reinstall the game to a new place, (Thus having two installations of the game.) but I find I am unable to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To be honest, I haven't seen any black contacts whatsoever

I used to have that same problem. If I turned the camera to the right, the game lagged nearly to the point of freezing. The same happened whenever I was within sight of shore. Edit: And when the camera was underwater.

I reinstalled the game and Grey Wolves and it works fine now.

Now I'm all for realism but I do like to remain seated when sailing the seas. I'm currently sailing an IXD2, maybe that helps.



[edit - Just realised that I made a mistake. It wasn't the uzo cam of course, but just the normal binaculars.]
Anyone have a fix for this please .

Hi there,

I have GW version 1.1 installed and need version 1.1a. Where do I find version 1.1a?

Is there a way to revert the water in GW back to the stock SHIII water because I find the water to be too dark (I like to take screenshots of submerged U-Boats and sunk ships)?

Thanks

Default Stopwatch

Howdy all,
First, what a great mod you guys produced. I only came back to SH3 yesterday and immediately installed Grey Wolves, works, sounds and looks great.
Anyway, I just messed up my new stopwatch by dragging it to bottom left of the screen and it is somehow stuck behind the officers icons
I only blame myself, but is there a way to get it back up at the top of the screen?
I guess I can always reload a previous 'save' (which is prior to moving the stopwatch) but I would then lose some nice tonnage I grew fond of...

Can someone confirm if this is the only way?

cheers

Should be back in place on your next reload - so save now and reload that save
Dont wanna waste that tonnage
You may be able to move it in another screen

What files are you looking for? Not going to go back and read through 14 pages, sorry.

Just chiming in with a request for the next release:

Could you make the Kiel canal a bit deeper, please? As it is, it takes an eternity to get through it on 4x time compression, and I don't really want to change the max compression for shallow waters.

I changed the Time Compression "near land" to x64 in SH3 Commander. No hassles there if you want to get through quick. Also it's not necessarily the depth but being close to land that causes restrictive time compression.

The boat is off-center in the stock game too. I´m not a modder, so I cant really say if it is hardcoded or anything.
