It won't do what you intend it to do and it unnecessarily inconveniences some users.

One of the rules of good program design is that you never unnecessarily take away choice from the user. By all means provide defaults but you should never force your code to install somewhere the user doesn't want. I'm sorry but you clearly haven't thought this through very thoroughly.

Bit of a bold statement to make when you dont have the auto installer in front of you
All questions can be answered fully when the builder of the auto installer is back in town
He wont mind me saying that the builder is Jaeson Jones and I or no one else can question his ability so before all jumping to wild conclusions let the man answer you first

Please excuse me if this has already been answered.

Will GWX have a damage model like Drifter's? <ducks!>

I believe so, or a 're-worked' version of.

I think we'll have to wait and see.

VonHelsching · 10-31-06, 05:57 AM

All the damage models of merchant ships, stock and new have been reworked almost from scratch. Also the most serious bugs in warships damage models have been taken care of.

the GWX beta... with all of its inclusions and improvements...

Is SMALLER at the moment than GW 1.1a even though it is a major rewrite.

Wow.

As for the auto-installer, I 100% love it. Makes everything a whole lot easier. I'm looking into using InstallMaker myself (hears The Noob sniffle).

I meant the damage model of the U-boats, i.e. longer repair times.

I'm not telling you so Meh:p
Nah just joking,an Update is coming soon.

Safe-Keeper · 10-31-06, 06:46 AM

A fragile u-boat with few hit points, longer repair times and eternal
torpedo re-load times sounds good to me.

The Noob · 10-31-06, 07:29 AM

Only good if the escorts have been reworked for Realistic overall expierence.

Safe-Keeper · 10-31-06, 07:45 AM

Either way, it warms my heart whenever I see another GWX news update. The mod has been fantastic so far, and I'm eagerly awaiting the expansion. Even Grey Wolves gets dull after a while, so I'm looking forward to the newest release. I think I'll open up a career just to cruise around (go down the Suez Canal, for example

).

Capt.Crackerjack · 10-31-06, 08:10 AM

I am ALL in favor of the auto-installer method for GWX.
Hoorahhh!!!

Then why this nonsense:

"All you need to do then is temporarily rename your stock SH3 copy to say... "xSilentHunterIIIx" Make a fresh install from the SH3 disk... patch it to 1.4b... install GWX... and finally rename the new SH3 copy "SilentHunterIIIGWX" or whatever you like... make a shortcut from the executable to your desktop."

Safe-Keeper · 10-31-06, 11:33 AM

In a perfect world, I suppose the GWX team could upload two copies of their project, one for JSGME and one with an auto-installer. I guess they have a good reason for apparently not doing so, though.

Only a few weeks 'til Grey Wolves Expansion... Only seven days 'til best-friend home from hospital in Oslo... Only a quarter 'til Silent Hunter 4...

Life. Is. Good.

Yes there are very good reasons which will become apparent at the time
So instead of a few complaints about something noone yet has - you have plenty of notice that you need a fresh 1.4b patched CLEAN install off SH3

So what are you waiting for
