GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion Mod)

[stimy]

is there any way to change the fatigue on the crew, mine are constantly close to exhaustion no matter how long I let them rest

maybe a mod to disable the fatigue for GWX3?

SH3 Commander has a option for no fatigue which works quite well.

If you use SH3 Commander you have several "Fatigue Model" options, one of which is "No Fatigue." It eliminates the need to tuck your crewman into their bunks every few hours. They'll stay where they are unless you move them for whatever reason but they won't get tired out because of it.

There is also a way to edit the game files to remove the fatigue issue without using Commander:

As the post says, if you do this, make sure you back up the file beforehand so you can restore it later if you need to.

i got this as a message from another U-boat
how do i derive where he is somewhere, as the grids only have 2 numbers? and what do the other 3 things mean?

grid BE 3451. W 7. Sea 7. MB 34

thx

It is not possible to take an enemy ship as a prize. The GWX-team added many radio messages to SH3 to keep you informed about the war progress, and minor messages (such as this one) to give the impression that there is a war raging around you.

Radio messages are generally an aid to immersion.

I've tried solving it with your link, but the FATIGUE_COEF" file is not in my files i think

@ HW3: where can i find this? I've looked in the SH3 commander where I can change the realism but it isn't there :?

Read the link carefully... -> Basic.cfg

When you open Commander look along the bottom of the main screen, you should see a little icon that looks like a tool to the left of the center. If you click it you'll get the SH3 Options popup. Fourth down on the list on the left side of that is Gameplay Settings. Click that and at the top of the list of options you'll get on the right hand side of the screen is the one for choosing a fatigue model. Check the box to make SH3 import your chosen fatigue model into the game, and then choose "No fatigue" from the dropdown list to the right. Click Apply at the bottom and you're good to go.

As someone else noted, to manually edit the game files to eliminate fatigue, you need to go into the basic.cfg file and look for the relevant sections as indicated in linked post and edit them accordingly. But back up that cfg file before making any changes!

Hey guys, I've tried downloading the mod from both locations on the Grey Wolves site, both #1 .bin files seem to be corrupt, and the MD5 codes for both don't match up. I've been looking around for a while now, is there somewhere else to dl the not-so-corrupt files? Thanks in advance!

Try here.
