GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion Mod) - Page 450

wizardmatt · 01-20-14, 09:44 PM

I'm in the process of doing a reinstall of SH3 and GWX. All is well pretty much, but in the first post, in the errata section, it says the following:

"Minor updates/corrections/eratta:

For those wishing to use the optional mods - "GWX - Alternative Flotillas" and "GWX - English Nav Map and Grid Refs" the following files have been updated:"

The only trouble is, the link supplied for the updates appears to be dead. Does anyone have any suggestions for alternative sources? Google is not working for me thusfar, and they don't seem to be available at the GWX site. Thanks in advance o7

Just got a new laptop with Windows 8 and the first thing I wanted was Silent Hunter 3 GWX Gold. Imagine my horror when I discovered that the mods' bin files are not open-able. Don't have the know how to get round it myself. Anyone else had similar problem or tackled this before? GWX is simply the best!

I'm not sure why you would want to open them. Put them all together in a folder and run the exe. It will install itself, and then you can do what you want with the games files.

Of course I might be missing something.

Download the GWX installation files to your desktop (or wherever you wish to store them).
You must ensure all 8 installation files are placed in the same folder.
Run 'GWX.exe' and follow the installation instructions.

Rather rude of us to do that eh?

Follow the instructions others posted and it will be installed.
There is a back door to extract all the files and bypass the install but you need a key.

Thanks for the responses. I thought I had to unzip before putting on desktop and run it but get 'can't open file as archive' Anyhow, I'll put them on desktop and just try to run anyhow. Thanks

WAIT!!!

By "open" you meant unzip them? My mistake!

Do you have 7-Zip? You need www.7zip.org to open those. Then put them into the same folder.

Jimbuna · 02-14-14, 12:07 PM

Noooooo....don't unzip anything. Put the seven bins plus the exe file into a new folder on your desktop and double click on the exe and follow the prompts.

I have been using the Grey Wolves expansion pack for 8 years now, and I can not thank you enough for bringing such exciting, involving, mentally stimulating game play to us kaleuns!

This GWX has just recently celebrated an anniversary and so has Subsim (17 years, I believe

) and so have I (75 years, I know

).

So, Hats Off to the modders and the Subsim community for their very time consuming efforts and very generous help and guidance to we kaleuns (both storm seasoned and wet behind the ears newbies) !

May the Forces be with you all.
