GWX Patch 1.02 RELEASED - Page 5

JScones · 02-21-07, 12:41 AM

Guys, please help those of us who are attempting to support you by posting your questions ONLY ONCE. There is no need to post the same q all over the place as all that results in is duplicate responses, taking the guys trying to support you away from supporting others, in addition to clogging up the forums.

Thanks for your understanding!

I have no mods enabled and rolled back SH3commander but still get the "key gwx files missing" message.

Could someone possibly send me a clean basic.cfg and sh3.exe per email to give it another try?

My email addy is Warmonger@gmx.net

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,

The patcher is not checking the sh3.exe file.

As for the Basic.cfg, if you get a copy of this file all you are succeeding in doing is fooling the installer. It is more than likely that you will experience problems further down the way.

Have you read this entire thread? Questions have been answered before.

Warmonger · 02-21-07, 06:24 AM

Ok, problem solved (I hope).

Danlisa, I just recently saw your download link to the basic.cfg and commands.cfg files, must have somehow overlooked them...

Anyway, install worked now, and off we are again.

Thanks, for the patch, works a treat and no install issues. This SHIII is just to addicting I have been up till midnight "Kaleuning" in my Type II boat. I am glad to have discovered SHIII and even more so to be utilizing GWX! Thanks!

Installation

Before installing:

- DISABLE all activated modifications if you use the "Jonesoft Generic Mod Enabler" (JSGME). You cannot use JSGME to install GWX Patch 1.02, but you can use JSGME to activate other modifications after GWX Patch 1.02 is installed.

- REMOVE any installed SH3 Commander files (if you use "SH3 Commander") by pressing the "Rollback SH3" button from within SH3 Commander.

- ENSURE your active careers are all safely docked in port!

It is important that you follow these steps as the installer will look for SH3 Commander and JSGME files and will halt if any are found. Likewise the installer will halt if it does not find certain key GWX files.

This should see you right.

I did all of this, even pasted all the mods to another folder. Deleted all the mods in the folder. Then installed 1.02, there was a CTD using a previous career (pre-1.02). However, started a new career and all was well. It must have been something in the old career.

As part of the process I did have an intial problem with random weather, tried user defined and all was fine. Have not had the time to go back again and try random weather through SHWeather. Will do this later.

Anyway, some great suggestions in this thread, as usual GWX rocks

melnibonian · 02-21-07, 01:01 PM

My feeling is that you had the CTD because your career was not a GWX one. Did you start it in GW or any other mod? Usually if this happens there is a high chance of CTD as GWX has changed the flotilla and bases.

No it was a GWX one, I just started it a few days ago. When 1.02 came out I went back to port ( with half my backside ripped off

), got out of the game and went through the install process with the new update.

Your career sounds like it is a casualty of the patch changes. From the patch 1.02 release post (I have bolded the relevant text):

Quote:

Compatibility

- Please do not assume that third-party mods compatible with previous versions of GWX are compatible with GWX 1.02. If in doubt, consult the modder.

- Whilst most existing careers will continue to work with GWX 1.02, the sheer magnitude of the campaign changes means that the GWX team can not guarantee that all existing careers will continue to work.

- SH3 Commander users must d/l and install updated GWX config files. D/l http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/GWX...fg4SH3Cmdr.zip and install as instructed.

I was looking for a way to add some messages to the game so when you sent a report to BDU you don't just get the "Keep Up the good work" only and I noticed a file called "new messages only english.txt". I opened it and on top it says "just copy and paste that on your favorite messages file". Should this be appended on "messages_en.txt"? And if yes only when in port between patrols or will it work mid-patrol? I could try the old "try and see" thing but I had quite a few CTD the last couple of days testing the usual assortment of mods and I really like to end this "haunted" 5th patrol of mine without another one

BTW SH3 + dual monitors = very often CTD and a significant drop in FPS so anyone wanting to try that I would advice against it.
Keep up the good work

The BdU responses are not part of the messages file that you are looking at. BdU's responses are contained in the **_menu.txt file and are accordingly, by default, the same, everytime.

Code:

 
4196=Contact report received. Good work!
4197=Press the attack!
4198=Keep up the good work!
4199=Return to base!

If you want to randomly vary them, you need to use SH3Cmdr and add the variations to the "Randomised events.cfg" file (there's pervious posts here covering how to do this). You still won't get different messages *during* a patrol (thanks to an SH3 limitation), but you will get different messages after each SH3 reload.

Re your CTD's, it sounds like you have left over modded files in your installation. In http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=105853 I posted what I think is the most efficient way to run SH3 with GWX. You may like to try it.

No big deal, I had just started it. Started another career in 42' out of Lorient with an IXC, first time I was bombed coming out of the bay, intense stuff

prologos · 02-21-07, 11:34 PM

Will do thanks!
I 've learned my lesson now... I've made two installs (one clean + GWX + some mods I know to work properly and one to experiment). Also a big part of my crashes were due to the fact of the dual monitors I used (one to play and one browse subsim

). Unfortunately SH doesn't handle such a config very well.
Oh .. and what about the "new messages Englishg only.txt". For those messages to work must they be appended to "messages_en.txt"?
And sorry about so many questions . Hope I'm not too annoying
