I'm wondering. Did you correct the index?
Although it seems we may not have to everytime, it is there for a reason.
Perhap the Game Engine accesses it on a need to know fast addressing scheme?
Since a larger or smaller file is implanted, this index is wrong then.
As a precaution, I make a habit of correcting it.

Didint worked, when it starts loading in the GWX logo goes back to the desktop with an "Sh3 encountered a problem"

Hi, I liked the look if this, so downloaded it.

I installed it at the end of a patrol once back in base. Rolled back SH3 in SH3 Commander, and built a directory stack so I could add it via JSGME.

The game loaded fine, and in base before the mission my sub had guns.

But....

Once it loaded a game and my u-boat (type VIIC) was in dock all guns, including the deck gun had vanished!

I tried it 3 times - manually adding it etc. but still no luck.

I've just seen you have added a new upload, I'll give that a try. But its certainly exhibiting odd behaviour.

@Urfisch, This is from Ref's dat file information.

"type 1001: INDEX
this one seems to be an index, there are chunk ID's and the corresponding file postition, might have to update this if some chunk has its size altered, but some tries suggest this doesnñr affect loading."

Cutting down the Shells and Gun dat files, I went through this INDEX and removed,
and corrected entries as needed.
1st, just to be safe,
2nd, to reduce the file sizes themselves.

It's just a thought at this time.

Another thought, And I haven't looked at the obj files, so I may be off base.
Are the old guns several parts and the New one obj?

Although, if that was the cause, I'd think your install would crash.
It looks to be an ID conflict as far as what I'm reading.

im glad its not just me doing somthing wrong, i have no idea about what to do but good luck to anyone trying and thanks to everyone involved

urfisch · 02-12-07, 01:19 PM

dont know why there are ctds...its just a modified barrel and a reworked flak skin inside the guns_sub.dat. and with my installation the new flaks cause no problems. i have installed gwx (last version)...

:hmm:

Just retested with my GWX install. Removed each of my mods one by one until only the new guns_sub.dat remained. CTD each time. This was immediate until I removed the "no intro" mod, then I got the intro, but CTD when it tried to load the game proper!!*

Has your guns_sub.dat been modified by anything else you might be running or is it just the standard GWX version with the barrel and skin mod inserted?

* hardly surprising that

just mentioned it in case it helped with diagnostics
