But something is not clear to me ( one more .. ) ; I have a carreer in December 1941, and this evening, i launch SH3 with SH3Cmdr as usual, but while in game, i decided to make a quick single mission. But what happen if the situation of this mission is, let's say in 1944 ? ( while my carreer is in 1941 ). Will the game show skin and stuff like year 41 or 44 ?


And other thing : I guess i made a big mistake I tried one little mod ("My five dials integrated") without rolling Back It was just before trying the single mission above and during this mission, my observation periscope was a mess ...

So maybe i will have to reinstall the whole thing So, my last question, if i must do it, is how to not loose my carreer with the data of my captain ? ( i know about SH3 saves, but with S3Cmdr, i'm not sure which files to keep and when to restore them ..


I am realy a "no go" tonight, sorry




EDIT: Finally, after investigate, i don't have to reinstall anything, nothig is mess up !! Don't know why and how, it was the mod : "TW_PeriTDC_For_Gwx" ( or my bad use of it) who was the issue .. Sorry.

But my first question remains ..

lol glad you didnt have to reinstall

Not sure about your first question
It SHOULD show the 1944 skins if thats when the single mission is
Pretty sure it will despite where your career is

Hoping this problem is simple and something silly on my part...

Running Commander on Vista..
Running as Admin

but...

I've noticed that the IXB isnt availible in 10/39
nor
am I getting the files needed for Captain's poitrait (only tried once or twice)- FIXED
also
I'm unable to edit crew qualifications as I dont see that option (as in previous versions)- FIXED

Thanks much for any help.

Hi, I'd just like to waste some internets bandwidth by thanking you for this mod.

Bought SH3 summer 05 (I think. Hmm, can that be right?) and played for many months on an unpatched stock version. Then I found this place.

Gosh.

I love all the mods, and think you all do a great job, and thanks to everyone. But more than the rest, I'm a Cmdr and GW fan.

This program makes a great game so much more enjoyable it's not even funny.

Thanks again (to everyone who's put work into SHIII mods)!

JS, I've a question.

Why is it SH3 Cmder 2.7 can't find GWX?

I've installed and left alone Silent hunter III patched to 1.4b with JSGME installed. Copied it, changed it's name to GWX and it too is in Ubisoft folder with MultiSH3 installed in it only. Ran both so there is a GWX and SH3 folder in My Documents., both show up o as they should. GWX and 1.03 are installed ok. Both will verions will run ok from the game exes.

Installed SH3Cmdr 2.7 with the extra cfg files that are needed. When I run SH3 Cmdr it only points to Silent Hunter III. I've browsed to point it to GWX but it's a no go and will not run..... says no Silent Hunter III is found.

I think there are a couple of us having this problem and can't figure out what is wrong. I've even put my saved career in both SH3 and GWX in My Docs as a test but still a no go. This is getting frustrating to no end. I gotta have my GWX back thru SH3 Cmdr...... I'm having withdrawl symptoms.

A screen shot would be helpful too on where the Silent hunter III and GWX are if possible. Instructions in MultiSHIII only say "Use Windows Explorer or My Computer to copy the folder and paste it somewhere else. ", which doesn't really help on whre it should be placed.

Sorry if this is a dumb question by it's bugging the crap out of me that I can't get it working properly.

GT this is the answer to your problems http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...35&postcount=4

Thanks Mel. ~S!~

There's still the question of where to put the second copy renamed to GWX. In Ubisoft folder or some other place like a new C:/program files/ or desktop. I still don't get that part.

Where you say "You click on properties and where it say target you type "C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander\SH3Cmdr.exe" /l:"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWX.

Does all that go into "Target"? or does the second part.... "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWX" go into "Start In"?

It's helping but I'm not quite there yet.

I'm not a lifesaver mate. I just happen to be there. After all it's you that did all the work I was just providing "moral support" But thanks a lot for your kind words. I really appreciate them

Great now go and sink someone

[GT182]

Ah but you are. I had no idea on the deal with SHIII Properties change and how it should be, that alone was the lifesaver.

Thanks to Mel's post, I now have three working copies of SH3on my HD, its daunting at first but man when its working its a blast, this sim gets better and better.

I have yet to load SH4, just sitting in the closet.

Thanks man!

Hello

As I just started using GWX 1.03 and SH£ Commander 2.7 I have a problem with the skins pack and also that I have been assigned VII A boats which is not present in SH3 but reflects as VII B boats in the game. I have now U-34, which is infact a VIIA boat, but a VIIB baot in game.

I downloaded the massive skin pack that changes the ships skins through the years but for instance Bismarck and Tirpitz are base colors, no special markings or anything. I copied the date folder into the SH3 Commander folder as instructed.

Then also, why is it assigning wrong U-Boat numbers to me when it should be numbers used by VII B boats which started in the 40's I believe.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Gian

You can change it via SH3Cmdr or manually by going into:
C:\Documents and Settings\your name\My Documents\GWX\data\cfg then Main cfg and scroll down to the 'player section' then 'submarine name'

My last patrol ended at a milk cow so my next patrol has "NULL" for the patrol area. I change it in SH3 Commander but when I open GWX SH3 the briefing still shows NULL. What am I doing wrong?

[Jimbuna]

Nothing....that is the automatic default setting when not in a home port

[sbelanoff]

Then what is the purpose of entering patrol coordinates in SH3 Commander?
