NYGM 3 Super-mod (Current: 3.6 F, January 13th 2015)

[rascal101]

HI great to See NYGM is still going strong, I used to play the original and it was fantastic but then I wnet to GWX when that mod was updated.

However I saw this new version and thought to give it a try. I hope I dont cause any upset, I always hoped GWX and NYGM would be merged, but as they are not I guess we have to see which suits our tastes. Both are great mods and their respective teams deserve full praise for their time and effort in producing these amasing mods.

Having said that, I am assuming the latest NYGM is not compatable with the latest GWX, and I am assuming that those of us who are coming at NYGM3.0 for the first imte need to update first with NYGM2.5FULON, then update to 3.0 and that we shoud remove any GWX mods can you confirm?

Also will OLCE2 work with the latest NYGM, please excuse me if my questions appear a bit dumb or lame, I have been away from the forums for quite a while with serious and ongoing computer issues so ham not enirely up to date with whats what and whose who

Because many people who use NYGM have slower computers, or slow internet connections, NYGM 3.0 has been released as an *overlay* for the existing full version NYGM 2.5 'FULON' stand-alone version.

If you have already installed NYGM 2.6B onto NYGM 2.5, then you can un-install it with JSGME, but it doesn't matter if you forget (NYGM 3.0 contains the 2.6B additions).

Download NYGM3_0.7z from my signature, unzip it with 7-Zip or WinRAR, and copy it into your folder silenthunteriii\mods. Then install the mod with JSGME.

*In addition*, you can download those ships from Iambecomelife's New Merchant Fleet that we have re-zoned and/or given the special sinking NYGM slow-sinking model. The package is also available by clicking on my signature, and the file is named IABLShipsforNYGM3.7z. Install it in the same way as NYGM 3.0 (you *must* install it AFTER NYGM 3.0). This package contaisn a good selection of IABL's ships, and a new campaign file.

Don't forget to read the manual!

New users.
You should install NYGM 2.5 stand-alone version onto a clean install of Silent Hunter III patched with Ubisoft's 1.4b patch. You will also need to read the NYGM 2 and NYGM 2.4/2.5 manuals supplied with NYGM 2.5.

New Features (just a reminder of what I copied earlier):

1. The new Type XXIII boat.
2. The Real Weather Fix.
3. Racerboy's exhaust smoke for all U-boats. (Used with permission.)
4. Iambecomelife's new merchant fleet, incorporated into convoys.
5. Key changes made to stop the way in which a U-boat could pass into a convoy from the front, at periscope depth, without ever being detected by the front escort. You will have to be much more careful now.
6. Schnorchelling improved, so that the crew doesn't die of exhaustion in stormy weather. (This is much more complicated than it sounds.)
7. 'Bold' asdic decoy made much more realistic with new, unpublished, research.
8. More realistic battery ranges underwater.
9. SH3Patrol program updated with new patrol grids for the Type XXIII boat. (Also other changes.)
10. New updates for NYGM for those who use SH3Commander.
11. The east-coast minefield mod included, marks the giant British east-coast minefields on your map.

There are numerous small changes, fixes, adjustments to the campaign files and air power, and similar.

I haven't tried NYGM yet, but hope to in the near future.

I should imagine GWX and NYGM are not compatable....they certainly haven't been in the past.

Rascal101,

Setup a seperate install of of SH3 with NYGM3.0. Whereas GWX has an installer. NYGM utilizes JSGME to enable.

NYGM 2.5 Full
NYGM 3.0

That should get you up and running and prevent many headaches.

As for OLC I just load OLC 1.2.6. which is just the interface.

There you are set to go.

Happy Hunting!

I a lot thank for new NYGM

The problem with 'merging' supermods is that they change different files to accomplish different things for different reasons. There's no reason why someone who knows what he's doing couldn't adapt and mate files to accomplish one thing or the other, but even if I could do a 'mated' version, it would be what I wanted to play and still not necessarily be what you wanted.

The only way to get exactly what you want out of games (or out of life) is to learn to do it yourself. Me, I'll use whatever one comes closest to my ideal, and then break it with too much fiddling around.:rotfl:

@ Stiebler: Congratulations on getting a new version out.

[Stiebler]

To address miscellaneous points raised:

Do limitations on minimum torpedo launching depth and lack of contact fuse are still present in NYGM 3.0?

Limitations of launch depth: Yes.
Lack of contact fuse: I presume you mean 'will the torpedo explode on contact?' The answer is yes (unless the torpedo is a dud), even though only magnetic contact can be selected. NYGM uses this combination to try to mimic the unreliability of early-war torpedoes.

I am assuming the latest NYGM is not compatable with the latest GWX, and I am assuming that those of us who are coming at NYGM3.0 for the first imte need to update first with NYGM2.5FULON, then update to 3.0 and that we shoud remove any GWX mods can you confirm?

1. I doubt if any super-mod is compatible with any other, since the campaign files usually involve different ships and roster entries.
Specifically, NYGM (any version) is not compatible with GWX (any version).
2. No need to remove any GWX files, though. Just create a separate installation of SilentHunterIII, with a different folder name. This has been described many times before. Easiest is to use a new drive partition, if your hard drive is partitioned into several drives (C:, D:, E: etc). Then install NYGM on top of your new version of SH3.
As you have said, and others have confirmed, new users need to install only NYGM 2.5FULON, then patch with NYGM3.0 (lastly add the IABL ships download).

Will OLCE2 work with the latest NYGM?

Haven't tried it, sorry, but Wilcke has suggested (below) you try OLC 1.2.6. Thanks Wilcke.

Finally, many thanks to all who have congratulated us on our new release.

I thank all the team nygm for her effort. I want I place question. nygm
3 does not have air DepthCharges..... exists some reason for this
absence??

[nirwana]

looks great - installed on top of it my favorite OLC2/OLE2 special without any problems

only using sh3com creating a new carrear i had an issue of 2 many crew members but could fix it easily by giving some of them the golden boot before leaving for patrol.

i worked the pdfs and readme files to find out if its by design in NYGM that there are no map updates of ships/subs whatsoever regardless of the reality settings with no success. I assume thats the case since it was already the case with the supermod active only.

hi.

i tried to download from the signature, but am I blind or the nygm 3.0 disappeared from teddybear?
where can i download it?
thank for your help

[Sardaukar67]

3.0 seems to be gone from Filefront/TeddyBar. Please, upload it again so I can play it !! Thanks in advance !

[Stiebler]

I have just returned from holiday. Sorry for any inconvenience caused to anyone who has been unable to locate NYGM 3.0. Filefront has auto-deleted the file.

I shall place a slightly updated version of NYGM 3.0 onto the Filefront/TeddyBar web page in the next couple of days.

Hi to all I wonder if some one can help, I've just downloaded both the Fulon and latest NYGM3 via Flashget

I just tested both files before installing them via JSGMe and both report that they have broken files.

Now I have been having a lot of trouble downloading items from the net, not just games or patches, so I dont think its a problem with your site or where the files are lodged for people like me ot download them.

I wonder if there is someone out there with decent computer experience who can say what may be going on or suggest a sollution. Whenever I download a patch or mod, 7 out of ten times its corrupt or broken, whatevfer is not usable.

There is nothing about my computer not my internet that seems to be at fault, I use XP and Kaspersky anti virus.

Any ideas

while trying to decompres 7z files from filefront-nygm etc using 7z software i got this message-try using power archiever, u may use it free for a few weeks-it always helped

[rascal101]

I just tried the same files with 7zip as you suggest and no problem. Is there some issue with rar?

[rascal101]

Now for a second request, is there a list of NYGM3 compatible mods so those of us who cant refrain from fiddling can have something to fiddle with
