ARB WideGui 1920x1080

klh · 05-04-20, 08:54 PM

I decided to go back to subsims during the lockdown, and since my PC won't run SH5, I decided to try out SH3 with the 1920x1080 GUI. All I can say is WOW and a big thank you to the many modders who contributed.

I know many people aren't into sims from 2005, but the HD GUI is amazing. I'm two missions in to a new career and loving it. It's like finding an old friend.

Welcome back! I think you'd be surprised how strong both SH3 and SH4 are going these days. Just look at the number of people viewing each forum compared to SH5 at any given time.

In my opinion, the toughest part is dealing with Windows 10 quirks and adjusting NVIDIA gfx settings. Once that's sorted.... splish-splash, a hunting we will go!

Sink'em ALL!

Windows 10 hasn't been a problem (so far) after I fixed my shortcut properties for the desktop icon. Unfortunately that took me a while to sort out.

Compatibility mode (Windows 7)
Run this program as an administrator
Start in: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII"

The last one was causing it to crash after the startup splash screen. I figured that out by accident when I realized that it ran when I started from the sh3.exe file, but not from the start menu shortcut.

I'm running an AMD Radeon HD 7700 graphics card. After I turned on GPU scaling it worked fine.

Hi, guys. I don't think anyone else has expressed an issue with this -- or I just didn't search for it fully enough -- but I just want to confirm that what I'm experiencing is part of the ARB WideGUI 1980x1080 mod. It seems the periscope and free camera blur when cruising at any speed above Ahead Slow / 4 knots?

If possible, what would I edit to remove the blur from the Free Camera?

Ahead Slow
Periscope

Free Cam

4 Knots
Periscope

Free Cam

Hi mate and welcome. This is a feature of the h.sie patch which tries to simulate periscope vibration at higher speeds. You'll read all about it in the h.sie pdf manual. It can be controlled with the Periscopes Fix checkbox found in the h.sie options selector. I'm not sure how to remove it only from the free camera, but there is possibly a way.

As said Stork, it’s coming from Hsie patch and it is tied to free external camera, but with no way to unties it...
You can stop this effect by unchecking the option Periscope Fix in Hsie (via the option selector) If you don’t like it, or adjust the speed of this effect to your liking in Hsie.ini with notepad (the file should be at game root)

Thanks, guys.

Another question:

I would like to try to put the Attack Scope Reticule in makman94's MaGui mod, into the the ARB WideGUI mod. Silly me, I thought it would be just a matter of copying either the manos7 or manos8 .tgas, rename one of them to AttackScopeReticule, and that'd be that.

I'm hoping someone can point me toward any other .tgas and whatever .cfgs I need to edit to make the swap.
