A couple of questions

TDK1044 · 01-11-12, 12:50 PM

Out on my first mission for four years. Running GWX3 Gold. Fantastic mod. Two things I can't remember how to do. Is there a key in the game for bringing time compression down to 1X instantly? Or does it have to cycle back to 1X? Second question would be that I think I remember being able to drag a waypoint to a different position, but I can't figure out how to do that now?

Other than those two issues, the rest of it has come back to me pretty quickly.

I can't imagine a better U Boat experience than SHIII with GWX3 Gold. I'm sure that SH5 has its merits, but I wouldn't trade games!

For your first question: Hit ESC and again ESC. TC will be x1. There may be a time lag if TC is high 512 or more.
Second question : Keep the mouse button pressed and drag it to move the waypoint (not very sure for this one)

Hope this helps.

go to make a new way point but click and hold on the waypoint you wanna change then move it.

Cheers!

Hitting Backspace will pause the game. Hitting it again will unpause it at 1x.

However, if you go into Silent Hunter III/Data/Cfg/Commands.en (or whichever language you're using) you can change this:

[Cmd6]
Name=Time_compr_normal
Ctxt=1,2,6,9

To look like this:

[Cmd6]
Name=Time_compr_normal
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
Key0=0x0D,,"Enter"

And you'll drop to 1x every time you hit the Numpad Enter key.

Thanks, Steve.

Yep. I'd forgotten how precise this has to be. You have to place the cursor directly over the waypoint you wish to edit so that the 'new waypoint' line goes away. Then you can drag the existing waypoint to a new point on the map.

To centre on the map where you want...press Ctrl and left click the mouse.

Hey, Jim, is there a mod that doesn't conflict with GWX that will make the crew fatigue factor less of an issue? I'm constantly getting the 'not enough men in the Diesel Engine room' message. I would have thought that on a WWII U boat, the men would know when to change shifts without the Captain telling them every shift.
