NYGM Tonnage War (official thread)

[Torplexed]

Have had a minor problem crop up. After installing the SH3 Commander mod and starting the game from it I'm suddenly blessed with pitch black skies at night and during the day. I currently have no other mods installed than NYGM and the Terrain Add-In.

Back sky is an indication that the scene.dat file is not properly installed.

Upgrading your Sh3 Cmdr to the lates version I believe fixes this issue, though as hard as I have looked there is no-one who had this issue saying yes this definately fixed it.

Can anyone confirm a fix for this?

The version I D/L was "Lite" so I am not sure about the others.

It is so hard to get good help nowdays!... Hold on a minute, I did that :rotfl:

I appreciate the pointer!

Yes, I see the issue. The medium cargo should be able to do 600 knots on a calm ocean :rotfl:

Seriously, what TDC setup are you using?

Just DL'd the Lite version + the Terrain add on. You guys have really outdone youselves. The huge instruction manual was an amazing piece of work thank you for that, however in reading the supplied instruction manual I noticed what may be a small oversight. Aside from the first introductory page there are no pictures. Since most of us playing this sim appear to be guys and it's a well known fact that pictures(preferably in color) hold the attention longer, you may want to include this as an add on in a future release of the manual. I'll bet you're getting a lot of questions relating to information that is clearly stated in the manual. This may be the reason.



Seriously. a great piece of work, hat's off to the NYGM crew

Does anyone have a mirror link for the terrain addon which they are NOT hosting at FileFront?

I am repeatedly failing to download the terrain file from FielFront.

Thanks for the possible solution. Looks like I am using an older version. I'll try downloading from JonesSoft later to see if it helps.

I had the black sky problem, and it was due to a download problem. I downloaded the mod again and took the scene_dat file and the env files from the new download and copied them into the orginal download and it fixed the problem. Apparently the first download form one of the servers on filefront was bad. I used a different server for the second download.

I have another question. I can't use this mod on my laptop as the frame rate drops to 1. Is there any way to remove the pportion of the mod that kills the frame rate and still get most of the mod? I had the same problem with the RUB 1.45 mod, but when I installed the 8 Km atmospheric mod over it, I could use the RUB 1.45 mod.
I tried this with the NYGM Tonnage mod but it didn't help.

Any suggestions?

It seems i will have to reinstall my copy of SH3,because my OS bombed me and i'm thinking about this mod...
I see too much post here and maybe someone else already asked,but i don't have time to look every post(Need to sleep )
So there is the question:
SH3 Commander is absolutly required?

Thank for any help

I see potential issues with the 'menu' files. First issue is, the menu_1024_768.ini that you have will be Mod dependant, so in the first instance it will not just work with the default SHIII 1.4b. Also we have made changes to the menu_1024_768.ini. All documented in the support files.

As for the CFG's this should not be an issue as our required CFG's will be installed last.

As for the graphic mods, I can say that there should be no problems 99% of the time

May I suggest, for my Moding I did this, and it is still a good idea when adding mods. I installed SHIII and then I patched it to 1.4b, copied it to another location. In this way if it all goes belly up, I just delete the game folder, do a copy and paste and re-mod.
