Open up the Basic Cfg file with Notepad and approx. 95% of the way down you'll find: (this entails a lot of scrolling because of the sheer wight of information held within the folder)

Change for example the number of 105mm HE shells from 110 t0 250

Now scroll (upwards IIRC) till you find the ammo limits and change the 'slot' to a sufficiently high number to accomodate the number of shells you are going to carry. Beware....do not change the ammo slot to a ridiculously high figure....just enough to cover the number of shells

[SUBMARINE_AMMOLIMITS1] ;105mm
MaxAmmoPerSlot=110
[SUBMARINE_AMMOLIMITS2] ;88mm
MaxAmmoPerSlot=110
[SUBMARINE_AMMOLIMITS3] ;37mm
MaxAmmoPerSlot=400
[SUBMARINE_AMMOLIMITS4] ;20mm
;MaxAmmoPerSlot=1000
MaxAmmoPerSlot=2000

How do you change the type & the amount of aircraft that could possibly attack you?

[gsc67]

Im not sure why? But just as it starts to load the exe. file it stops and asks about a disk ? Any help would be greatly apreciated !!

Did you download the five .bin files that go with the .exe?

[Mush Martin]

You need the exe the five bin files Jonesoft MD-5 + the MD-5 hash files
(learning to use this will save hours of frustrations)
also after that you will need the 1.03 patch which contains all previous
GWX updates.

finally the most important thing you can do after that is take the time to
fully read the manual. almost every question you see about GWX has been
asked before and answered before Fifty or more times minimum.

[gsc67]

Gulp.... Ahhhhh Haaaa ! I need to download the other files first ! Cause as I started to load the first one, the exe. file, it stoped and asked at a disk or a file ... I said Uh Oh ! ... So download the 5 bin files first ... then the exe. file last.

Hi mate, how about you create a new thread to ask this question?

Thanks.

Ummm yes.... and make sure that they are all downloaded to the same folder and location that you downloaded the .exe to.

You will also need the GWX version 1.03 update... However, it is a single file and will be a separate installation process after you have GWX v 1.0 installed.

Version 1.03 goes on top of your 1.0 installation.

Please refer to the GWX manual for installation help as well.

[GT182]

Also Gsc67, make sure you don't run GWX 1.0 and use mods in it before installing 1.03. Install GWX1.03 without any mods installed. Install mods after you get the complete GWX 1.0 and 1.03 installs finished.

I assume you are installing both one after the other, but had to make it clear so you don't have problems. And also just incase you missed that in the manual.

1. Uninstall SH3 via Windows' "Add/Remove programs"
2. Open Windows Explorer and:
- *delete* the folder where you had installed SH3
- *delete* the \My Documents\SH3 folder
3. Reinstall SH3
4. If your SH3 did not come with patch v1.4b already included, install patch v1.4b. Ensure you install the patch that corresponds to your copy of SH3 (Download/DVD/EMEA/US)
5. OPTIONAL: Copy and paste this "clean" install as a backup to avoid the need to follow steps 1-3 if your game becomes corrupt in future
6.Download into the SAME folder GWX.exe and the five .bin files. While there grab the v1.03 patch
7. Run GWX.exe and follow the installation prompts
8. Run GWX103.exe and follow the installation prompts
9. SH3 COMMANDER USERS: Download the GWX 1.02+ Cfg files for SH3 Commander and unzip the contents DIRECTLY into your SH3 Commander\Cfg folder.

I downloaded the 800 MByte setup file. After installation I can see a "1,4" in the lower right corner of the main menu. Is this an error or really the new version 1.4 ?

However, great mod indeed. It´s a lot of fun!

My initial reaction was......wtf!!

[mick81]

There´s no version number in the splash screen. So I think it´s version 1,00
