There used to be one. More than one, actually. The problem is that so many conflicting mods fall into the 'Must Have' category that you can have several absolutely necessary can't-live-without-them mods that conflict with each other.

The supermods are a great example. People who use GWX will tell you that it's the absolute best. People who use WAC and LSH3 will also tell you that those are the absolute best. And they are all correct.

Is this the correct procedure? Can the 1.4b patch be installed on top the 1.0 game or are intermediate patches required?

The 1.4b patch is the only one required. It contains the contents of all previous patches.

Is your game a new copy? If so, it's probably already patched.

What happened to the "Real U-Boat" mod - did it morph into GWX 3.0?

No, it morphed into NYGM (Not Your Grandmother's Mod).

PS. I did search, but I found a lot of threads with somewhat contradictory information.

That falls in line with my first comment. There really is a lot of contradictory information, and sometimes it's all true.

Okay Jim, once I download the Grey Wolves mod, what do I do with it? Do I have to manually insert files into any particular directory, or will it automatically search for Silent Hunter on my hard drive? I didn't see any instructions when I clicked on your signature.

I have already patched to 1.4 and installed Commander.

GWX 3 comes with its own installer. Just run the exe and point it in the direction of your game directory.

After you have run it, look in the directory for JSGME, GWX also installs that for you, along with a nice selection of additional mods to play with.

And don't forget to get hold of the 'GWX3 GOLD Config Files for SH3 Commander' file. You'll need that if you are running GWX and Commander together.

Click on my sig, this will take you to the GWX website where you will find comprehensive installation instructions.

Thanks guys. I was looking at the features of GWX, and it seems to more of a visual improvement, not really a mod to game play. What I am looking for is a mod to put ships in enemy harbors and a way to utilize other bases. For example, how do I refuel and rearm in another friendly base?

thanks

GWX does all that... Milch cow, training base... accurate flotillas, in the med, asis campaign...
as for refueling in a direndly base, its the same procedre as in home base. sail to port, exit patrol, start a new patrol.

GWX+eyecandy only?
no way. I ve opened the merged campaign file yesterday and Boah they even have bismark running in circles...

Rapt0r56 · 02-04-10, 09:49 PM

Yeah, what happens to the Real U-Boot Mod?
I could swear there was a new Version about it.

I have thought that as many folks might be returning to SH3 following the release of SH5 I wonder if any one's thought to actually work on the mods outlined in your email to make them all finally one big happy mod that encompasses the best of all

Just a suggestion
