Update: so after playing around for serveral hours I found a solution for me. I tried in Windows 7 and XP, both with the same reasults. It seems to me that my SH3 cannot handle all the additional data. When I reduce IABL's Merchant Mod by half and install it in addition to Wilhelmshaven Mod it works. I tried increasing the number of addon ships slowly, and soon came to the point where the game simply went to a CTD no matter which ships I took

Nevertheless it works now and I'm reasonably pleased with the result. After all I have now almost five times as many ships as in stock SH3.

Well am glad you have it working
Do you have the 4gb switch on your windows 7 install ?

I only know of the 3GB switch for XP (which afaik only enables 3GB to be used by one application). I'm one of the lucky ones who get about 3.6 GB of installed RAM on Win XP.

Can I use 4GB of Ram on Win 7 Home 32bit? I thought 32bit OS can only access approx 3.5 GB

Hey BBW. This did the trick. Just tried it with the full Merchant Mod and it works like a charm. Thanks a lot.

bigboywooly · 04-18-10, 02:47 PM

Cool
Glad you are sorted

Hello BBW,

your older optional Mods (V3) had Indian Ocean and Black Sea Campaign in the MODS folder. V6 does not. Why?

Thanks!

Good question

I dont think anything changed in those areas even in St Naz,Scleuse and other ships V3 so left them out of the Wilhelmshaven,St Naz,Schleuse ets V6

Force of habit including all the campaign files

All I can say is: WOW!!

I usually take it low-and-slow when I leave port to start a patrol. But since I've activated this, each time I leave Wilhelmshaven it takes me one real-time hour to leave port. I just stand on the bridge and manuever using the rudder instead of plotting a course out. Just a low, slow 4 kt to the locks, then a leisurely 9 kt once I exit the outer lock, and enjoy the scenery.

It's just as enjoyable returning, too!

Thanks so much for this!

Having not read the whole thread, I don't suppose there is a manual install for other super mods?

I was only only given permission by thfue58 to release as I did for GWX
Not that I asked him for any other permissions
Why would I

Same with Rowi58 and his locks

What did you have in mind Reece ?

Reece · 04-25-10, 04:19 AM

I still use a combo of mods, from memory the mis files are based on GWX 1.03, I have added other mods including the St.Nazaire, that was a pain to reverse engineer, also added Locks, canals etc, I certainly do understand the imensity of the job, just thought you might have the extras in separate mis files for a possible merge etc, (IIRC you can merge mis files), probably a lot of other things missing such as ships.

So it would be a pain, I do understand that it might not be worth it, I can live without it!

..... Thanks.

BTW, the main reason I haven't bothered with GWX 3 is my internet connection is not good enough unless I can get it via a torrent, whereby if the connection breaks it will start again on itself later.

Jimbuna · 04-25-10, 12:58 PM

Reece, the torrent for both the exe and bin files version plus the full single install version are and have been for a good time available from my FF page (link above my sig).

Alternatively....(and I'm presuming from your sig that you live on that Commonwealth prison island) TarJak is based in Sydney, I'm positive he would have no hesitation sending you the mod on disc.

If your from any other continent simply PM me and I'll arrange a disc....no bother.
