Your best bet would be to dig around in our sh3 mod's forum and ask some questions in there if you cant find the answers you want there

Hey guys,

I've got a little question. Is there a way to reset the controls? It isn't in the options menu... I need it cause I'm playing on a laptop now, so I'm missing the numpad. Bit frustrating when you want to speed up the game and stuff...

Can anyone help me?

Sebbe, one easy way requiring no mod is to use your mouse. Point and click at the plus or minus keys by the time compresion indicator. Bit cumbersome but it'll work right away and save any modding

I know

but I find it really cumbersome, especially if you want to be ready to slow down the game, like when you're entering dangerous areas (ports and stuff). Isn't there a datafile that you can change?

But It isn't such a big problem.

I've got another question: what slows down your system the most: having the "High Quality Textures" turned on or a high paricle density? (it's in the video options)

Default A Partitioned Hard Drive

I just installed a new hard drive which is partitioned. So therefore I have a drive D: and a drive E: on this hard drive.

My original files for everything I had before is on drive C: I have to transfer all these data files to drive D:

Where I think I'm going to have problems is that Windows has "My Documents" on drive D:

The reason I had the hard drive partitioned was because if I had to reinstall Windows, it would be installed in drive D: all my programs will be installed on drive E:

So that means Silent Hunter III will be installed on drive E:

I copied the "My Documents" file to drive E:

Now what I need to know is where will the SH3 career folder be created?

How can I make the SH3 Career folder to be created in the My Documents folder on drive E:

With Windows XP you can right click on the My Documents link from your Start Menu, choose Properties and set the default location for your current user's My Documents folder. Since that sets your system default, to E:\MyDocs or whatever, then SH3 should automatically save it's campaign files to E:\MyDocs\SH3

That is of course assuming that it's not hard coded to C:, but I believe it just uses your default My Documents location, which you can change through the rclick / Properties of the link on your start menu.

When I did that, it created the folder Documents and Settings, is that what I should have done?

Oh ya know what, you might wanna use the Move.. button. Create the new file you want to use for ALL your documents (your permenant My Documents location) then use the Move... button find that folder and select it.

Okay, I'll give that a try.

Edit: It would not let me nove it as it said it's part of windows.

It would not permit me to move "My Documents" as it said that it was part of Windows and could not be moved.

So now what do I do?

Well, you could just store the career files on your C drive I guess? I can understand not wanting the giant install on your OS drive, but the career folder is quite small most of the time. 11MB for me so far.

Well, I guess I'll just have to install a new version of SH3 (purchased a second one) and then once that is done, move the sh3 files from my drive C to drive E: program files/ubisoft/silent hunter III

Hmm, I think I misread your original post.

You should be able to install SH3 into E as you want it without problem. I believe the career files will end up in your My Documents (apparently on your D drive) during the install. You shouldn't have to move anything really.

I'd thought you were trying to get files off your C drive, sorry for the confusion.

Oh, there is no confusion. I have a new copy of SH3 because the other one is scratched too much, so I will install the SH3 in drive E: Once installed, I will then move the SH3 folder from drive c: which has all my installed mods and data files, etc.
