Hay Jim -- I have SH3 gold ( up to 1.4 ) and GWX 3.0 installed and working just fine.

Trying to read your instructions, it looks like it would have been best to install SH3 then SH3 Cdr and lastly GWX 3.0.

My question is--- I my case with the sub working very well with GWX 3.0
how do I add SH3 Commander ( Specificly and step by step Please).

Thanks

When you downloaded the file in Jimbuna's message:

GWX3_SH3Commandercfg http://www.mediafire.com/?c4oakjnc3tynwk5

You simply execute this file.

It will ask what language you want to use.

Then you get the opening screen, click next.

Following it will ask where to install it into. It should show a default location of where it expects where SH3 Commander is installed. However, if you have Windows Vista, 7 or 8 then it is not recommendable to have it inside the "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folders. If you can, please de-install SH3 Commander now from the Program And Features applet in the Configuration Panel. Give SH3 Commander a folder to live in that is outside of the Program Files folders. Because the OS is going to nag you to death with UAC about any file change SH3 Commander tries to do in there.

If you are sure it is somewhere else, then use the browse button to locate the folder where SH3 Commander is installed to. Click next when done.

Finally give the go-ahead, at the "Ready to Install" overview page.

The same Program Files blues goes for the game itself too actually. If at all possible, do not install the game into Program Files. Modding wil get quite anoying, or even iffy in succeeding.

My SH3 "gold" 1.4 is installed in C:\Games\Silent_Hunter3\

And I am running Win 7 Home Pro.

So will once again place GWX 3.0 in to C:\Games ..... as SH3.

Should I place all ( more than 5 by the way ) of the 8 parts of GWX 3.0
( 3exe. to the last one 6.bin ) in to a folder.

Then place all of SH3 Commander in to a folder.

IS this correct so far???

If so then I will proceed to install each in order and then set for the automatic rollback in SH3 Cdr.

Sure hope this works.

Jimbuna · 03-11-13, 12:28 PM

Download the GWX installation files to your desktop (or wherever you wish to store them).
You must ensure all 8 installation files are placed in the same folder.
Run 'GWX.exe' and follow the installation instructions.

SNAKE1937 · 03-11-13, 01:44 PM

All is done to the best of my " non-computer guru " ability.

And so far all is OK, and my Hull % is in the correct place.

I can not find the "WRENCH" for auto rollback, but when I exit
SH3 it sends me to a small pop-up that ask if I want to use
SH3 Cdr to rool back and then I roll back there.

No big deal ( I guess ) but where is the "rollback wrench?

Thanks again

Jimbuna · 03-11-13, 02:49 PM

At the bottom of your Commander screen should be a wrench icon...clicking on that should take you to Options>General Settings and the second option should be 'Rollback automatically after exiting SH3'.

SNAKE1937 · 03-12-13, 12:16 AM

That wrench is no where to be found.

Looked in all of the nooks and crannys and edges of SH3 Cdr ans SH3 with GWX 3.0.

The game if going fine, my Hull % damage is just over the bow, and all systems work just fine.

If the only hassel I have is to click twice at the end of a session --- I can live with that.

One cool thing I did was to program a key on my G15 Logitech as the
"Fire Torpedo" key --- with only one finger.

Thanks for your help

Jimbuna · 03-12-13, 07:22 AM

Look at bottom left of centre...if it isn't there then you've probably got a faulty installation.

HW3 · 03-12-13, 08:26 AM

After clicking on that wrench, this box will pop up.

Just do what it says, and no more manual rollbacks.

SNAKE1937 · 03-12-13, 03:21 PM

My SH3 Cdr "opening Box" is "plain black and white" with out any of the colors that you 2 have.

Also there are very few of the options that you have ( ie. you can select no intro. movies, and of course "automatic rollback" )

I can, and have selected the % hull damage-- and it works.

It almost sounds as if I got the "budget Cdr model" where as you some how got the "deluxe one".

Should I start over? If so where? As of now SH3 1.4, and GWX 3.0 are working fine. Also the mod the sets up with that JSEG... "whatever" that has several small mods that can be "slid from the non active site to being active such as reduced port activity ( fewer ships) -- and that is working.

It is a puzzelment!

Jimbuna · 03-12-13, 04:17 PM

Download SH3Commander from here and see what transpires:

SH3Commander 3.2 exe http://www.mediafire.com/?v8hgs2wkr53psmq

GWX3_SH3Commandercfg http://www.mediafire.com/?c4oakjnc3tynwk5

SNAKE1937 · 03-13-13, 10:11 AM

Jim, thank you very much. The first link was the correct site for the SH3 Cdr that was the same as you two folks showen above.

It had the color, wrench for setting automatic rollback and other goodies
that my plain black and white lacked.

The #2 link did not work and in fact my antivirus warned of impending doom fro malware and viruses. A box poped up that had a micosoft cure
for those issues-- but I ran from that site ASAP and quickly ran a complete scan for any malware or viruses.

One of you "high ranking" folks needs to replace the "black and white" non working SH3 Cdr some where in the stickys with the first link in Jim's last post that looks like the correct on. It has an icon of a gold striped cuff of a naval commander, where as the B&W one's icon was a grey looking hat.

I'll report back after playing on how effective this all works.

The final question , is just how important is the contents of the second
link to playing SH3 ???
