This idea centres mainly around the ship being an escort.

A good concept that. But with merchants, it's certainly going to make it very tough to make speed observations on the surface when the stadimeter is impractical due to distance or rough seas.

Have you included Captain America UBoat_Instrument_Patch in your super-mod? If not, could you please consider including it in the next release? Is it safe to install it just over NYGM Tonnage War?

Thank you very much for your help and for all your efforts with SH3. You are building an exellent super-mod !!!

I really enjoy this mod but I have a problem. When I shut down my computer and go to start it again it takes forever to boot up. I have numerous crashes before I get to sign on to my person account. When I remove the mod I have no troubles with the start up. I had this situation with the previous installment.
I did a complete reinstall of SH3 but had the same results. I have GW installed and I have no problems.
Any thoughts on what is going wrong. I can't see how this mod would effect the start up of my puter. Have to be doing something wrong.

I have renamed the two intro movies in directory

...\SilentHunterIII\data\Movies\Intro

They have zero byte length and IIRC some systems have problems with that.

Edit: misread your post, sorry. It's the coldstart that takes so long ...

Ok do I need to disable the previous version of NYGM Mod 1.3 Before I enable 2.0
It should just wright over it I know but when I load 1.3 it works fine but when I enable 2.0 the game only loads half way then freezes

Well, they say for best results you should start with a fresh installation of the game patched to 1.4b. personally, i would always disable the previous version of a mod before using a newer version. You are using the mod enabler?

You are using Shcommander, right? This was already mentioned in this thread. I had the same problem. You need to go to the documentation folder included with nygm, copy the files from the 'shcommander optional files' folder and paste them into shcommander/cfg.

once i did this it worked fine.

Can you give me more details on your computer setup and if for example you have copied the SHIII + GW to another location etc. How did you install the mod etc.

How are you situated for free hard disk space? With a lack of free hard disk space to write the Virtual Memory file to the computer will be forever jugling stuff around. I have seen many a server go belly up when there was not enough free disk space.

In addition to Egans excellent advice, are you trying to start a in progress patrol? If so, it will in almost all situation, crash.

If this is the case, head back to port, once in port you will be able to install TW v2.0 and start your next patrol without issue.

Yeah, I hear it. My statement wasn't meant to sound ****ty, if it did. You can't copyright something that is created in a MOD, to be used in an existing system. That's all. I surely don't want to create more "Drama" than there already is....LOL

Thank You Egan, this worked Well I did all this before but for some reason it didn't take so I started over and shazaam it worked this time. I might had missed a step last time or something
Anyway I just want to say that after playing this for little over a year now with the help of NYGM I finally have this game the way I want it and now I can actually start playing a career and not just testing mods, modding can be addictive

Think that is about it.
I use jgme to install the mods. I had no problems installing the mod it ran great. I completly removed the previous game and files and restalled fresh with the patch. I like what I saw. I turn off the puter. My son wanted to use it shortly afterwards I turned it off. Aint that the way with kids. It wouldnt boot up. I would get to the blue XP screen with that account name but this was a blank blue screen and the puter would shut off. Did this about 10 times then just shut off. Of course as any good parent would do is blame the boy he he he. I unplugged it for about 1/2hrs and it booted up fine. Rolled back Sh3C and removed the mod. Started the game and it came up fine. set up a career and it didnt ctd. Shut down the game. Turn off the puter. Restart everything fine. Roll back SH3C install the mod. No extras. start game. Setup career. No CTD can play. Shut down game. turn off puter. Restart. Crash at the blue screen. Tries to keep restarting then gives up. Unplug for 1/2 hr and restart fine. Roll Back SH3C remove NYGM. Restart game career no probs. Turn off game blah blah blah restart puter fine. I then reinstalled GW and played awhile lastnight with no problem. Puter starts up fine. I also had this problem with the previous version of TW but I didnt really investigate I just wanted to play. I like this mod and the way it relates to what I want to feel when I play the game. I would like to use it but I dont think the constant crashing is a good thing. It has only happened when I have installed this mod. I have used GW, IUB with no problems.

Does SH3 Weather compatible with NYGM ver.2

Thamks!

I used to have rain now I don't anymore just dark clouds, thunder and lightning
what happened to the rain?

[r_wagner]

Just started using the mod and it looks great. Really great job guys!

There was however a resurfacing of an old problem in that my watch crew can't see anything. I got the message "we're under attack" and damage... and there's a destroyer about 1500 m to our starboard side. I was running at 256x so that should not have been a problem. I checked the Sensors.dat via File Tweaker and the settings seem fine. (Precise range = 15500 and MAx range = 16000)

Any advice on how to handle this?

Ps. I included the following mods:

1500 meter bearing overlay (love that thing)
Harbor traffic add-on
Restory gods-eye view
Single merchants contact mod

Thanks
