Some advice needed

Julie Whitefeather · 03-21-12, 06:09 AM

I have been silent hunter 4 and decided to give silent hunter 3 a try. I have been playing the mod called "operation monsun" - I wondered if there was an equivalent supermod for silent hunter 3.

I also wanted to know if there were any recommendations as to surface ships to try out that might be career compatible?

Thanks.

Dig through the mods threads and downloads section.

Gwx seems to be the most popular, but there are others. Check their respective threads for details.

Oh my.

SH3 is the home of supermods. GWX. LSH3. NYGM. RUB. WAC. The possibilities are limitless.

GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion) is widely considered the most balanced, with under-the-hood changes plus greatly improved graphics and good campaign information

LSH3 (Living Silent Hunter 3) is mostly a graphics mod, but it is a great one, adding things to the game that no other mod does.

NYGM (Not Your Grandmother's Mod) is devoted almost entirely to gameplay improvements, and it performs that function admirably.

RUB (Real U-Boat) is quite old now, but was the original SH3 supermod and the inspiration for NYGM.

WAC (War Ace Campaign) adds graphics as well, but is mostly dedicated to putting in every historical situation possible, so you can play out the actual war.

OM is good, but it pales compared to almost any of the SH3 mods.

And don't forget SH3 Commander, the career-making companion to any supermod. It's what keeps me playing SH3.

Needless to say that we have some great modders that keep SHIII in the forefront of Sub Sims.

Thanks for the advice. Looks like I will start with the grey wolves expansion, and adding in a bit of harbor traffic mod with a dash of SH3 commander.

I would also recommend ManosEnvironmentPro v3 ( M.E.P v3) mod by makman94

I'm sure you'll enjoy your GWXperience

Harbour traffic mod ??

GWX has plenty of harbour traffic so no need to add that mod which IIRC i way old anyway ( GWX altered some of the ship designations so older packs wont work with it = CTD )

Steve must be on commission for SH3 Commander.

But he's right, it is a brilliant addition to the game, especially when used with wotsisface's Ships' Names. Who? Meh, can't remember.

so far the problem with GWX is that while the pdf would load none of the files would load. As a result, and until I can find a way to load GWX, I have downloaded Not Your Grandmothers Super Mod. The question then is will that work with Manos Environment Pro v3 and SH3 Commander>

And by the way I can't find the llink for SH3 commander.

Also can someone recommended a surface ship I can use on missions?

Depending on whee you get the gwx package, it can come as 7 bins and an exe iirc. Run the exe and it will handle the bins. Note, you need a clean Install of sh3 for it to work. Then install sh commander usin the gwx file mentioned in various readmes.

Try that for a bit, then slowly add mods as you need or want. GoIn off the deepend of mod soup right away can lead to trouble.

Julie Whitefeather · 03-21-12, 08:12 PM

The problem is, I couldn't get GWX to download in the first place. The links wouldn't work for me. I only found off site links. I did find sh3 commander.

I am wondering now if these all work together:

NYGM, SH3 commander, and Harbor Traffic.

And if I am using those is there even a need for an environmental mod?

Sailor Steve · 03-21-12, 10:55 PM

Use the link in Jimbuna's sig. It is the only on guaranteed to work.

Get Commander here:

Few files have to be changed to operate NYGM with SH3 Commander. Allmost all NYGM mods have Documentation folders where clear instructions are found. Add Harbour Trraffic mod too.

I use M.E.P v3 with NYGM and recommend to use it if your PC can handle it. Only problem so far with M.E.P v3 and NYGM is vampire night vision fix.
