@IABL, would you consider doing a lite pack with the units that look best & some skins for the less powerful systems? I think many people would wellcome it

Quick question mate, are the two new skin packs good to use with your original MFM mod released Sunday? Or do I need to d/l 3.2? Also do I just enable all the skins via JSGME and they will show when the appropriate time date comes around, or, do I have to enable only those applicable to the year I am playing? Many thanks.

Best regards.

You have to enable the skins through JSGME. For instance, if you are playing between late 1942-1945, enable the last skin pack so that you will encounter lots of camoflaged ships.

As for a light version of the mod, I will look into that. I already have a mini-mod on my HD that only includes improved models for existing ships and some of my older releases, like the Empire Freighter - I might make that available soon.

Well I tried the first release it crashed so I dumped all my mods, rolled back Commander then put it back on by itself, again it crashed. Then I tried version 3.2 by itself and it crashed

Any suggestions?

I'm about to try a new/Fresh install, then re-install GWX3 and see if that helps. Have you tried that yet?

NOP, i quit!
GWX is ok by itself,i would rather play instead of uninstall and reinstall all day

maybe if i one day switch to win7 then i will reinstall all from start,then i will try again but until then i`ll just stick with GWX.

SUCCESS!!!

It tooks some bit of work, though. I had CTDs even with 3.2, so I removed it and this time got a crash even without it! So I took out all the mods, and it still crashed! "Well", thought I, "it looks like it's time for a fresh install."

"OH NO! I can't do a fresh install. Both my discs are somewhere in 500 square feet of storage space! It could take days to find them! And I don't want to go buy a third copy...I'm not rich!"

Then I remembered that I always keep a separate Stock 1.4b Data folder in a safe place, because sometimes I need a stock file for some reason on another. So I deleted the Data folder from SH3, made a copy of the spare and loaded it up. So now I'm looking at all the stock screens. "Hm, haven't seen those in awhile." And I load up the Museum. CRASH! So I try a campaign. CRASH!

I'm now thoroughly screwed, so what have I got to lose. I install GWX on top of it. I load up the Museum. CRASH! "Yup, thought so." I load up a campaign. "WHOA!" It loaded!

So, "What the heck?" I install MFM and start a new campaign. IT LOADED! So I set out the long way around Denmark from Kiel, just to keep the TC up, and docked in Liverpool (it's August, of course). What do you think I saw?





















I saw several other ships as well, but they were all stock.

So it seems a complete fresh install of SH3 and GWX will do the trick, even if the 'install' is just a new stock Data folder. Needless to say, I'm happy as a clam. I'm thinking of installing the Skin Packs into SH3 Commander so they'll load by themselves at the appropriate dates.

AT LONG LAST LOVE!!!




[edit] I did notice one thing - both of the ships I saw in heavy weather were sinking because of it. Maybe they're small enought that that's to be expected. Just though I'd mention it.

IBL is there any reason why some flags on the hulls are backwards? It is not a show stopper obviously but I was just wondering if there is a specific reason why you designed them like that.

Steve if you manage to do that I am interested. I thought about it as well but I am not 100% sure on how to do it. Any help you can offer will be most appreciated.

Top quality ships IBL. I haven't managed to sink any yet but I hope that will change soon

Mostly due to texturing limitations - it's not my strongest skill. Right before the mod was released I finally designed some symmetrical ship hulls from scratch, but using them would have delayed the mod by many months.

Also, some hull flags were in fact backwards - I think that painting neutrality marks was left up to the individual ship masters, and this was an occasional error (see the pic of the "Comol Rico" below - stripes should be "trailing" astern, not pointing to her bow).

These improved merchant hulls will be included in Wolves of the Kaiser (if I get it done!)

Thanks for the quick reply.

I must say we've been waiting for years for your mod but it was worthy in the end.
