Minor GWX glitches

Henri II · 01-09-07, 04:38 AM

Hi,

I finally had some time to play around with GWX and noticed some minor things.

1.
Last night my watch spoted a warship and after they reported it someone (I suppose the WO) said: "Berechne Lösung für die achteren Rohre" (calculating sollution for aft tubes). That would have been nice if the ship actually approached from behind or anyone actually calculated a firing sollution, but otherwise I'm not sure why the WO would say this.

2.
I don't remember when this happened, but I also got a report of "horche vorwärts, horche achtern" (sweeping forward, sweeping aft) from my sonar operator when there was no clear indication of why he would do so, also as far as I could tell he didn't actually do it.

3.
Neither the de_help.txt nor the de_menu.txt files seem to have the lines in them which give you the extra information on pressing F1 (about enemies, resupply etc.).

1. and 2. are rather insignificant, but 3. should be probably looked into for the next GWX update.

Noted.

It is unlikely that we can fix #1 or #2. This appears to be a stock SH3 problem not caused by GWX modifications.

#3... Will see what we can do.

IIRC #2 was already there from the stock game. :hmm:

Nope, we can. And i did for GW1.1.
dunno how this bug found his way back to GWX!?

anyway, the way to fix is:
1. go to "X:\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg"
2. search/open the "message_we.cfg"
3. search this and delete the orange part...
(MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!)
[Msg9]
MsgId=9
Priority=3
Timeout=30
Param0=1
MsgOgg00=We_have_been_detected_sir
Param1=1
MsgOgg10=Computing_solution_for_aft_tube

EDIT: the same thing for [MSG10]

the same thing for the "messages_SO.cfg"
search& delete:
[Msg3]
MsgId=3
Priority=3
Timeout=20
Param0=1
MsgOgg00=Sweeping_ahead
Param1=1
MsgOgg10=Sweeping_astern

I dont know whats this for anyway. looks like its not really used...

"bug" nr.3 is caused by SH3 commander (i heard). dunno why...

They were fluff messages added at somepoint because someone wanted extra vocalization and thought it sounded cool in german im guessing. Personnaly i removed that stuff ages ago, it just annoyed me.

Removing them is easy... What I was referring to is FIXING them.

01-09-07, 03:47 PM

If they are removed, it is fixed!? whats the problem?

Boris · 01-09-07, 04:15 PM

Yeah, I do not think they have a functionality at all. I have never heard that dialogue used in the game, except with these bugs. I think it's residual stuff from non-implemented features.

No it's not caused by SH3Cmdr. GWX shipped with an OLD German de_help.txt file. See my thread "over yonder" seeking a German translation of the latest English one.

Ouch...
Ok, thats really embarressing that you are telling this to ME...

Do you need a complete translation of the .txt or just parts? I will get to work immediately! (if you send it to me...)

Sorry, must have missed that!?

You have PM.

Found this a bit strange as I've never seen this before in SHIII. It's not all that important to me but thought I'd let Jaeson and/or the Devs know about it.

At the end of my 1st patrol I went into Vigo Spain to resupply from the Bessel. My career start was Wilhelmshaven Aug 3,1940. After Sept'40 subs are transferred to Lorient. Being with the Bessel from Aug 23rd to Sept 15th for repairs, paint and resupply I started my 2nd patrol which said return to Lorient, as expected. But the above pops up in SHIII Cmdr 2.7. I click Ok and continue on with a Null patrol. I'd changed the Null to BE66 but it didn't stay that way. I spent a week at sea sinking one Merchant and missing a large Convoy. Saying the heck with it, I head for Lorient and spend 7 days in base. Now on my 3rd patrol I keep getting the same mssg everytime I start. That goes for all saves while in this 3rd patrol too. Is this a bug with SHIII or SHIII Cmdr?

Number one, as properly translated i have NEVER heard before... GWX that is

It means 100% that the spotted ship is a DD or some such bugger, and will shoot at yah if yer not going away soon.

dont mind hearing it tho, wish i could have more of this ... OGG files linked together anyone?

I seem to get problem 1. quite often if I get detected by enemy escorts.

GT182 · 01-13-07, 08:59 AM

Sorry guys but this is a clean install of SHIII/1.4b with GWX and SHIII Cmdr 2.7. It's not accociated with Vanilla SHIII at all.

I should have mentioned GWX but seeing this is a GWX minor bug thread I figured you catch that.

Only SHIII GWX is showing this.
