Hi Diego !

your widegui is nice, it is worth to optimize it !

is missing the free camera moove on deck too (f4)
and the 3 kinds of shells at deck gun in GWR

and other little stuffs, for example another design for uzo and obs scope because they are all the same

:-)

Nice anvar you put a "screenhots" folder direct in GWR. it’s really very practical when we capture screen with ctrl + f11 !

Finally got this Mod running, the problem was the the installation folder required a four-character name (GWR3 vice GWR) otherwise otherwise it would crash to desktop before loading.

The lack of documentation beyond the installation process detracts from the mod. There is no way to know what keystroke commands do what and I could not figure out how to get the crew off the deck or the UZO in position although figured out the flag (F), RDF antenna (V) and control room hatch (H) using Shift and CTRL as per conventions in other mods.

Loading time is about 12-minutes from clicking "Start", about twice as long as CCoM 12 and more than three times GWX.

How does one disable the "Crew on Deck" mod? I want the crew at their stations on departure and not lollygagging on the casing. While some people might find this so-called feature "immersive" for me it's an unwanted, irritating distraction and I need to make it go away forever before I try this again.

Anyway, thanks for making it.

Ahoy, Randomizer...

If My ol' dusty HD aka brain... serves Me right, I think the commands were cntrl+D/Shift+D to have them assemble on deck & to shuffle off back into the boat... I seem to recall that being the proper commands for Crew on deck... just don't quote Me 100% on that, though.. & only time having them on deck, would be just before departing home port.... just My own thoughts on that...

Any way, hope this is helpful on that front.

Gute jagd, ihr himmelhunde

Thanks. Using CTRL+D just sees the crew images flicker when in the bridge view and there is no effect when using CTRL+D in the control room view. Using SHIFT instead appears to do nothing either.

I just want to delete the capability entirely and have the crew at their stations.

Ok, using the crew on deck commands, while in the control room... ain't gonna net you a view of them from there... the only areas you'll see them show up on deck (or shuffle off back into the boat which is a misnomer as I recall they aren't even animated, they just pop into view automatically & disappear the same way..), is from the bridge, using either , or . to go to side shot view... or, finally using the free cam . That's it.

If ya want to delete the whole crew on deck, ya gonna have to get info on that process from one of the others commenting in here... I know jack squat about that process... other than dumping the mod, if it was activated in jsgme, then pretty much every one knows how to there.

Crew on Deck is removed via S3Ditor

Called optimization...reducing all TGA weight (when it’s possible - compromise with rendering), deleting all numerous non used files (there are plenty), deleting english speech folder etc etc...
Sound and TGAs are the heaviest parts of the game for loading.
But you certainly already know this

Is there a quick way to identify "extra" files in the Library folder?

Fifi · 12-27-20, 09:29 AM

Not that I’m aware of, unfortunately.

Do you have the GWX harbors, or the latest ones at the right place in France?

I had to abandon the harbors of Wilhemshafen, St Nazer, Schluese and New Lorient in favor of a smaller Harbor_kit.dat

Wise decision, as they are quite heavy

But is St Nazaire still same place as GWX/NYGM?
And do you have La Rochelle & Bordeaux harbor/flotillas?

Randomizer · 12-27-20, 02:31 PM

@ Anvar1061, Thank you for the response and the info on how to remove the Crew on Deck thing.

I have tested the naming convention a number of times and I think that it is real but may be related to the first letter of the folder name in relation to similar folder names for SH3 copies. I already had a SH3 installation with folder name GLX for the Onealex supermod but every time I tried to use GWR or GXR as the folder name for your mod I got a crash to desktop, even with the stock copy. Then, on a whim, I renamed the folder of the SH3 stock copy from GWR to GWR3 and lo and behold, there were no more crashes. Odd but there it is.

Since nobody else seems to have noted the issue it's probably irrelevant.
