harbours

birdy · 11-23-06, 09:15 AM

hi all, first i want to say this is a great site!

i have a question over sh3: when i am in campaign and go to a enemy harbour it is always deserted!
i have been to around 5 harbours and they were all empty.
is this normal?? and does any1 know where i can find a full harbour??
thx

Welcome to SubSim

If you are playing the stock SH game you will not see full harbours. You must either install the harbout Traffic mod (you can find it in the downloads area of SubSim) or a supermod (NYGM or GW)

If you have any other questions feel free to ask. People in these forums are nice and they will be glad to help you.

Good Luck and Good Shooting

Well since GWX is a few weeks away for the 'general public' I did suggest the other two supermods that can be installed instantly.

BTW birdy whatever you do you should try GWX. After that you will not play anything else, EVER AGAIN (well until the next expansion of GWX that is

)

this is maybe stupid but what is GWX and GW??
and where can i download it?

Biggles · 11-23-06, 09:59 AM

GW is "Greywolves" and GWX is Greywolves Expansion" (not yet released),funny that I tell you this, 'cause I haven't got GW yet.

BTW, all harbors aint deserted. I play stock SH3 and I've seen ships in Port Said, Loch Ewe, Scapa Flow, and Hartlepool. It aint much, and I got a bit pissed when I visited Key West (!!!!) to find nothing......

I'll get the GWX when it comes out, until then, I'll just play stock.

First of all there are no stupid questions. So don't worry about asking whatever you like. Grey Wolves (GW) is a supermod. It is an add-on to SH3 and gives a totally different approach to the game. Check out this URL for more information http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/TGW/#dl

Also don't forget that GW is FREE. GWX is the new expansion of GW. It should be released at some point in December and my opinion so far (as I'm a beta tester for the team) is that it is BRILLIANT. It takes you to a totally different place. Trust me you will not be disappointed

GW is a really great mod that adds new things to SH3.
like harbour traffic
you can download it here

birdy · 11-23-06, 10:05 AM

thx for the help lads!

i am downloading GW now

melnibonian · 11-23-06, 10:09 AM

Don't forget that you can install GW using the mod enabler http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products.html

That way if you don't like it (!!!!!!!!!) you can always go back and play SH3 without having to uninstall the whole game. Also try to add SH3 Commander (it's in the same link above). It allows you to handle your career and crew throughout the war.

Before you do anything make sure you read carefully the Readme files and the FAQ as they answer almost every question you might have. If you still have problems just post them in SubSim and we'll be happy to help in any way we can.

Welcome to Subsim Herrkaleun,

a small advice
make sure your stock SH3 is patched with version 1.4b
and enjoy GW a bit an when the day is finally there reinstall SH3 with the patch 1.4b and get GWX (Grey Wolves Expansion), as a Beta tester I can tell you , it will blow you eyeballs out of ur sockets

No worries. There are two versions of SH3. One american and a european. You have to patch it with the appropriate version you have (i.e european or american patch). Go to the official web site and download the appropriate patch.

birdy · 11-23-06, 11:45 AM

i download now the US version and it says now: de_menu_txt: unkown version

melnibonian · 11-23-06, 11:47 AM

Have you got the correct US version??? There is one for CD/DVD and one if you get it over the net.
