Need Help - SH3 Grey Wolves - No Orange Circle when Submerged :(

PrienU-47 · 04-28-07, 02:42 PM

Hi fellas,

New to the forum so Hi to everyone !!

I have just purchased the stock SH3 (yes I know, should have done it ages ago) but wow what a game. I have also modded it to the GWX expansion and this is simply awesome - words fail me.

One small query though, what happened to that handy little orange circle in GWX when one is submerged that helps you guide your way around?

I have only been playing the game a few days and I will be moving away from using the circle, but for now, given my noob status, it was kind of helpful.

Is there any way to re-activate it in the Greywolves mod?

Many Thanks in Advance Guys

Prien

In the stock game you can turn it off with:
ctrl+del (numpad del)

Maybe you can it on that way?

It was removed for realism's sake

Theoretically, if you have backed up SH3 before installing GWX, it all is a matter of using the original "Umark" file found in SilentHunterIII/Data/Misc
and overwriting with it the GWX file with the same name.

Good hunting

Sorry Folks

It doesn't work in GWX2

It was already in data\misc

I over wrote it with new umark and it still doesn't show.

CNemo · 12-19-07, 11:39 AM

That's odd,it worked fine for me....

Penelope_Grey · 12-19-07, 11:41 AM

Here is a JSGME ready version http://files.filefront.com/Visible+U.../fileinfo.html

Sure, it's unrealistic to have the u-mark in the external view!:rotfl:

I gotta disagree there matey

Either cut and paste into:

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWX 2\data\Misc

Or d/l the JSGME version from my sig

I just downloaded from Penelope's JSGME link ( thank you P) and tried it, and it works fine in GWX.2..

Maybe, but although GWX 2 is AWESOME within the confines of computer gaming, it is by its very nature, unrealistic when compared to the realities of submarine warfare 1939-45.

I don't think the presence or absence of the umark either adds or detracts with regard to authenticity.

Jimbuna · 12-19-07, 04:11 PM

I think it's purely down to individual taste.
Personally speaking I think it detracts from the immersion of the game, but I've no problem if that's what some people prefer.

Hell!! I keep it on my FF account for the very reason, some people enjoy the mods, but prefer to know the exact location of their sub to boot
