Well, I'm back

KeybdFlyer · 05-09-07, 01:17 PM

Hi again everyone. After 8 months shore-leave (I wish - it was actually a crashed computer which I couldn't replace), I've finally got myself back in action. Unfortunately, I can't remember most of SH3 (at my age I struggle to remember my name!), so could somebody please remind me how to install The Grey Wolves 1.1a over a fresh SH3 install? I have all the files backed-up on a CD, so I just want to know if all that's required is to run TGW11a.exe Then I'll have to go scouring distant shores for the various other mods I had installed. Not that I know what they were! Hopefully some names will jog my poor aching brain. Good to be back - wish me luck, 'cause I'm a nooby again!

Do yourself a favor and get GWX, the Grey Wolves Expansion that was released in Dec 2006, it is now at version 1.03, with 1.04 in the works.

Welcome back

Welcome back, 8 months

well I second the GWX motion nothing better on the "market" right now.

KeybdFlyer · 05-09-07, 01:35 PM

You're really throwing me in at the deep-end, aren't you?

I've already d/l GWX and was all set to install it last night - then I read the threads! Now, I wasn't the greatest Commander 8 months ago - GWX would probably have me lying "full fathoms five" in the Naval Academy sectionl!! Seriously though - do you think I could survive? If there's a chance, I'll give it a go. (Maybe I'd even keep you informed of a 60yr old captain's progress? LOL) Thanks for the WB - I need all the encouragement I can get!

Lzs von swe · 05-09-07, 01:48 PM

Yes, go for GWX

As for surviving, well I´m 50 and all is well, sort of

Welcome back to this nest of ruffians--definetely go GWX!

ReM · 05-10-07, 02:30 AM

GWX is definitely the stuff!

You'll get a beating early on, but it will make you a better KaLeun in the long run....

Most important:, it is fun!

And welcome back....

bigboywooly · 05-10-07, 04:01 AM

Welcome back KF

I am going in the other direction
:rotfl:
PC is on its way to the bin
( doffs hat )

_Seth_ · 05-10-07, 06:22 AM

Welcome back, mate, glad to have you onboard (again!!).

8 months...i once quit smoking for 8 months....was livin' he*l....but 8 months without subsim or shIII...

(I wouldnt survive..)

mimik · 05-10-07, 06:27 AM

GWX
The smartest thing i've done in my life was to install this!..

SmokinTep · 05-10-07, 07:20 AM

Welcome back, GWX is the way to go.

KeybdFlyer · 05-10-07, 07:59 AM

Many thanks for all the welcome backs! GWX is now installed, though as I'm taking a much-needed refresher course at the Academy, I have yet to bathe in its glory

I found it amazing that I could forget so much in half a year or so. My own little sound tweaks are installed (diesel engine sounds and gunfire mainly) and several extra German wartime songs can now eminate from the gramophone. The best part is coming back to the forum - a little like finding an old armchair in the garden shed, your backside fits nicely back into the seat! Wish me luck, patrols should commence later today or dawn tomorrow. One last thing... the wait for a new computer was worth it. I have frame rates banging up against treble figures now! (Surfaced) Isn't technology wonderful?
