Make sure you are in port
Rollback SH3commander
Disable the mods you have though the JSGME
Unzip the Dec 23rd patch into the SilentHunterIII/Mods folder
Enable the 23rd Dec patch through JSGME

The Dec 23rd patch will overwrite the files it needs to in SH3 as well as replacing the lite HT in the Mods folder

Then you can re enable the lite HT and any other mod you want

1. Im in port
2. I don't have SH3commander. do i need to have it?
3. What is JSGME?
4. Ok i did that
5. What is JSGME again?


sorry for my lack of knowledge again for these mods.

SH3Commander...is a 'must have' for most people...but is not absolutely necessary.
JSGME = Jaeson Scones Generic Mod Enabler
This is the software your best off using to enable and disenable your mods with.
BTW it's an integral part of GWX (already built in)

BBW If I enable the new harbor traffic lite after I have enabled the patch, does it undo the corrections in the 12-23 Patch? Or am I OK? I know it is noon somewhere, so I guess I'll get the Jameson's out.

No.
The new lite-harbor-traffic mod only changes the harbor-traffic, nothing else.
If you decide not to use the lite-harbor-traffic, then the rest of the 12-23 fixes are still applied.

The original German Keyboard hotfix mod can be disabled and deleted because it's now included in this one.

If you use the Integrated Orders Mod, you'll need to delete the Commands_de.cfg file in the new mod as well or don't enable the Integrated orders Mod.

NO! Everybody stop! You do not need to delete any file anywhere to have correct keyboard function in any language. Please follow the directions on the first post.

Ok, I'm happy with my previous inquiries but I have a new one for ya.

I don't think it's a problem, but I wanted to comment.

I'm aware that the configurations have been adjusted to make the boat run at 2kts on slow speed when submerged which is fine, but I noticed when surfaced with wind speed of 4mps in my VIIB that the boat will travel at 3kts until the batteries are charged and then at 4kts after fully charged. Of course batteries aren't upgraded and I have a full crew in the engine room. I know I can speed up which is fine.

I haven't tested all the telegraph speeds, but will the changes effect top speed etc., submerged or surfaced?

[bigboywooly]

Nice avatar Fred :rotfl:
No the changes only affect the AheadSlow speed
The rest are unchanged
Just makes it simpler that when you hit Silent running you go to 2 kts which will be silent as opposed to 3\4 kts which isnt

[fredbass]

Yea, I noticed the avatar too. Guts for garters. Jeez I almost edited my post to say something about it.

And thanks for the clarification. Everything is cool. Off the GWX I go again.

Edit: ahh, it changed to Commodore already.

Ok i notice thise also

And i think you dont need to worry about it to much, you can still go in ahead slow, but if you want speed of 7 knots you only need to changed manually and i belive you know very well how to do it . And the GWX not affect your max speed, you probably notice that when you run your engines in ahead standart .

[bigboywooly]

Yeah tis the usual trade off
Now silent running takes you to 2 kts which IS silent running
Before it would take you to 3\4 Kts which meant you could still be heard

I know ppl could have set it to 2 Kts themselves but in the heat of the moment many didnt and then complained silent running wasnt silent running anymore

For the GWX team this saves answering multiple questions on that subject and IMHO is better anyway
Now when you hit silent running thats what you get
Sure on the surface it may be slower but not many travel ahead slow surfaced anyway as it not the most economic fuel setting

And travelling decks awash for a surface attack you will make less noise at 4 kts than 7 kts anyway so again its a bonus

All other speed settings are the same and untouched

Yay Operation Cerberus!
