GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion Mod)

[bigboywooly]

Both those messages and any other involving those co ordinate set ups are for immersion only
They are RL messages and you will find nothing there if you sail to them

Gents-

Are the radio messages in GWX that come from other subs to the BdU just "decoration", or are they actually happening in-game?

For example, sometimes you'll see a message

To: BdU
From: U-65

Convoy steaming East at grid AM6591, shadowing

If I proceed to that grid, will I actually find a U-boat shadowing a convoy, or is that just message traffic to make the game more "immersive"?

as to 2. there is a conversion table out there somewhere, but I couldn't tell you where.... you could try uboat.net

Thank you KeptinCranky.


PS: a map with °/ '/ " will be a good affair too.

Welcome to Subsim.

First off, you can't buy GWX, it's a freeware mod and is distributed free of charge.

Ok, seems that your SH3 maybe modded/changed. I suggest uninstalling it full and then reinstalling it. For instructions, look below my sig for the GWX homepage and visit the FAQ page.

When you have reinstalled SH3, right-click on the SH3.exe and check the version number, from there, you can find the right patch for you. Sounds as if you might need the EMEA Download patch but we can find that out later (please confirm if you have a DVD or Download). We can then point you directly to the correct patch.

Do this first, then we'll talk about installing GWX.

My GWX doesn't run...

Since I installed the expansion, the game crashes everytime while a mission is nearly loaded.
The stock game works and the aces of the deep mod worked too. Then, I get the message that shIII has to be quit because of a problem...
Even the GWX Pack worked, a half year ago or so, and then suddenly the problem occured and i didnt have the time to search for a fix.

Now I installed the game again and looked forward to the new GWX 2.0...




I tried to disable mods like the 16km atmosphere by modsenabler. In the end I disabled everything I could, but it didn't work out.

Can anyone please help me???

Welcome to Subsim.

There's 2 possible causes here:

1) Your SH3 installation is not clean/unmodded or is not patched to 1.4b.
2) The GWX 2.0 files you downloaded are corrupted.

The solution to both of these issues are explained on the GWX Hompage via the FAQ section. Find the link below my Sig.

Is there by chance a GWX 2.0 compatable skin mod for the VIIB that gives it a more weathered look? Also, I would really like to utilize SH3 Commander to change the skins periodically to maintain the simulation of RL wartime changes. Is there anything compatable that is pre-packaged out there? I know it can be done as SH3 has the date folders and it was done in the past, I just need the skins/date change info so I do not break anything. Thanks.

Hello again
I made a complete uninstall and reinstall of SH3/patch 1.4b. When installing GWX2, get "Error Reading Source File. Ubsioft \data\air\ etc.... cfg" Any solutions?

yes, indeed.

make shure that all files from GWX are complete and you have no corrupted download on one of the files.

check the checksums with the... MD5 checker... (was that right?)
