GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion Mod) - Page 275

MrYenko · 12-28-08, 04:56 PM

Fresh, clean install of SH3 and 1.4, installed GWX3.0, and now I'm having issues.

I get both intro videos, no problem, then the splash screen, and the progress bar fills to 100% there, and I get a warning window that reads:

"There is a new (not implemented) page: <Page Ingame Options> !"

and then, after I say ok, I get:

"Menu ID not found: 0x1a000008!"

Specs follow.

Windows Vista x32, Intel Core2 2.66ghz, NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTS, 4 gigs of ram.

Stock SH3, SH4, SH4 w/RFB, and SH3 w/GWX2.1 all worked without a hitch. I am sadfaced. :p

Re-uninstalling, and re-installing now... Gonna try to work it out, I'll letcha know if anything works.

The game is finding an entry in the menu.ini that there isnt anything for
Either tga or something else

Most odd if a clean install

Try JSGME in this

http://files.filefront.com/Try+this7.../fileinfo.html

As its Vista its possible its retaining an old menu ini from an earlier install

Re-uninstalling ... blah, blah, blah

Wait a minute Bubba ... Define your Uninstall process. You are not just using the Control Panel uninstall only ... maybe ... ? There is other "stuff" to do.

I have a twin of your rig and installed GWX 3.0 today and it worked like a champ on the first try.

What I did after the Control Panel stuff was to go into the C:\Program Files\UBISoft\ and delete the SilentHunterIII folder. Then in Vista you have to hunt down the SH3 folder in your documents folder and delete that too. Would look like 'sumthin like dis:

c:\Users\MyLocalUserProfileNameIsHere\Documents

Find the SH3 folder - delete it. I took no chances - rebooted - probably totally uneccessary but what the heck.

Installed SHIII, patched it, ran GWX 3.0 install ... and ... LOVING IT !!!

Have been playing it all day.

Here is a tip for you guys Running Vista,
Always Install Your Game As Administrator,
Install The GWX 3.0,
Run As Administrator,
All Compatibilatly Files Will Now Be Stored,
Remember If You Have Used Gwx 2.1 Or 2.O,
You Must Delete All Compatible Files,
Before Installing Your Clean SH3 1.4,
Files Hidden In Vista Are Compatible Files,
Note Delete Them,
Vista Is All About Compatibility,
To Make Your Game Run As Is,
Take A Note,
Hope This Helps Vista Game Issues.

I was reading the manual for 3.0 & saw that I can use mission editor with campaigns, Can someone tell me where the mission editor is & how to use it?

SH3MissionEditor.exe in your SilentHunterIII directory. Also listed in the Start Menu.

Note: Resfix must be temporarily disabled (if enabled, obviously) before running the editor...

Installed GWX3 and noticed 76 MB of tga's in data\Textures\TLowRes\tex folder. Never saw this in GWX2.1. Normal?

It's the same with me, so yes, I'd say it's normal.
Just checked my old 2.1 installation, the mentioned folder is empty. Go figure...

11Bravo · 01-03-09, 11:49 AM

Thanks for confirming. Would like to hear from GWX team if this is intended behavior or a mistake.

11Bravo · 01-03-09, 11:58 AM

Noticed no GWX 3 entry in the Windows>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs. The Silent Hunter III uninstall does not remove all the directories.

GWX 2.0 had its own uninstall (The Gray Wolves Expansion 2.0) that removed all directories.

Easy to work around, but wanted to mention it in case it was overlooked.

Is it the right place to talk about some GWX 3.0 problems / mistakes ?
I don't know really you tell me.

One little problem: I can't see the trail of foam by night. Is somewhere a file to increase ? Also the night seems to be very clear.

Very little mistakes in the french interface translation:
In french we don't say "juin 15, 1939" but "15 juin 1939".
That concern the datation in the player interface in the right down corner.

Also as you can see, the time is not the same.

A last thing. In the .pdf you talk about "joueurs français". It will be preferable to say: "joueurs francophones" because all who talks french are not french.
As me for exemple, I'm belgian, but also canadian, swiss, ect...

For the rest, actually all is perfect.

My 2 cents.

I just did a fresh install for 3.0 and I'm having a couple of problems. All of the ports on my map are written in green, so I can't tell if they're friendly or not. This isn't too big of a problem since they're usually pretty obvious, but I liked having them be indicated. Also, when I spot a ship their heading isn't indicated on their map icon. Is this some reality setting I can't find?

I've been playing GWX for a few years, and I love it. Thank you!

Chisum · 01-04-09, 04:27 AM

What year ?
In 1939 all is green before september 3...

I think the date order is set by SH3 ie Month\Day\Year
Time at bottom is I think home port time
Local time is where you are in world

I once sailed to Penang from France and was a 12 hour difference made worse by the fact the navmap turned dark for night mode when it was in fact daytime outside
