C:/Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\she.msg: file missing

Now im REALLY confused???????????
The game ran fine before i re-installed so i dont know why im having problems

Try again. That is one weird error message. I never seen it before.

@RichardPhat This is the same audessy from Yamato server. I just quit NF actually. See the post in the NF off topic forums labled "leaving for good".

[DasBismark]

I tried again but still no luck, any other suggestions?

[DasBismark]

Nvr mind i figured it out, but how do i make my Guns on the ships more accurate, does the max AI guns fix All guns or just the enemies?

[audessy]

Just the enemies. I haven't quite figured out how to get the gun accuracy on the player ship better. But you'll pretty much be on a equal playing field as the enemy bb if his error angle is set to about 3.

You might want to try this mod with Sergbuto´s Camera Mod enabled in JSGME after it. It enables you to walk not only in bridge view, but all along the ship. I think you´ll love it.

Good idea.

I can only imagine how these warship mods can develop in SH5.

It's too bad there isn't a way to aim all the guns at once from the bridge. Like a little interface with turret controllers for the traverse and elevation. Then having a little chart for your target distance and gun range at certain angles. If this were possible it would revolutionize the game.

hi,

first off i wanted to say that this is an awesome mod and thank you so much for making it!!! however, i have been having some trouble loading my save games with this mod installed. I am running SH3 with GWX Gold installed and am using the GWX variant of the warship mod, but whenever i save the game mid mission during a career patrol and then try to reload that same patrol the game crashes. Any ideas why/how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Chanbasti,

This is a known issue with this mod. Somewhere in this thread is the post from Chinese U-47 himself... can't save a game mid-patrol. The auto-save at the end of each patrol works just fine though, if you're doing a career.

I've had to leave SH3 paused and running all night a couple times when I couldn't finish my patrol!

[chanbasti]

ok that clears up everyting. thx alot for the quick response i'll just adjust my gameplay to compensate.
Still an awesome mod.

This is ridiculous. Bismarck vs 4 battleships and 10 destroyers.
3 battleships sunk (Rodney, Hood, Renown)
1 battleship heavily damaged (Nelson)
7 destroyers sunk




GODDAMMIT THEY CANT HIT ANYTHING! I MEAN 4 BATTLESHIPS AND A PACK OF DESTROYERS AGAINST A SINGLE BATTLESHIP? I DIDN'T TAKE ALMOST ANY HITS AND I WOULD HAVE SUNKEN THEM ALL BUT MY AMMO RUN OUT.
YOU MUST FIX THIS BUG IN 3.1

Sorry for the caps lock (cock slap).

Btw, I have notied that in multiplayer haven't got this problem. Prinz Eugen in Narvik sank quickly. I even got some guns and key components destroyed.

I find changing the crew rating in the .mis file for the ship/s you're up against gives me great variation in setting the performance of guns against me. I've associated .mis files with wordpad and open them and alter them as i like (I realise I can also alter ratings with the mission editor, not sure as precisely though).

For instance, if I set the opposing ship/s crews rating to 5 or 4 in the .mis file, that's pretty lethal. If I set it to 3, it's more even or I get the better of it.

I like setting up mega battles eg Hood, Prince of Wales. KGV, a couple of US battleships against Bismarck. Yamato, Prince Eugen, Scharnhorst. I either play a watching brief as a sub or an active role - playing Bismarck or Scharnhorst.

I like the fact that you can tinker with the crew rating of each ship (including your own ship) to even things up, giving some a 4 rating and some a lesser 3 rating to balance up the contest.

This really is a fantastic mod IMO and I can't wait for even more from Chinese U7, great.

Von Talon,

Have you changed the AI Cannons Max Error Angle? This is a must for this mod.

If you haven't, go to <WSM install directory>\data\Cfg and open the Sim file in Notepad. The second block of code there looks like this:

[AI Cannons]
Max error angle=40 ;[deg]
Max fire range=30000 ;[m]
Max fire wait=0 ;[s]

Change the max error angle to about 3. I find that this makes the AI ships' accuracy equivalent to my own crew's.

I wonder what happened to Chinese U-47?

He suddenly stopped posting almost nine months ago even though he had new mods to release. I hope he's okay and he didn't get in any trouble or anything.
