U-Boat 1.2 Mod HELP!

U-48Kriegsmarine · 01-26-09, 11:28 PM

I just got the u-boat 1.2 mod for GWX 2.0, nut I am running 3.0, and after I installed with JSGME, the game freezes every time I try to load up a Career. But it WILL load up a training Mission. What could the problem Be?

The career and the training missions are not connected, I think. Probably has to do with the fact that U-boat 1.2 was made for GWX 2 and we're currently on version 3.

But according to JCWolf a v3 compatible version is in the werks, so fret not!

hey mate..

You can read the manual, but as you say its
compatible with GWX 2.0 and may cause
Game crashes if you install it on the last GWX 3.0

so my advise is to wait for the next version that is
being planed or play it over the Compatible version
of GWX that is the 2.0...

its not a game play chage mod but it touches the menu.ini and
other cfg files that for sure are diferent in GWX 3.0...

so if you want it either instal GWX 2.0 in a secound SHIII install
or wait for the next in development U-boat 3 to be able to
play it with the new GWX...

I was forgotten to say that i installed only some tga files manually of u-boat 1.2 in my GWX 3.0 not the whole mod

I am running it with GWX 2.1, olc special, life boat mods and various skins and it works really well, so it must be the GWX 3.0 that is causing the problem.

ok mate, let me try to explain the best I can...

As far as I understand you can not instal GWX 3.0 on top of GWX 2.0 or next,
GWX 3.0 haves to be instaled acourding the manual instructions on top of
a clean fresh SHIII patched 1.4b instalation...

...so following this logic events, if you have bouth GWX instaled you have problems...

...or if you install U-boat on (What version it doesn't matter) on top of
GWX 3.0 you can have problems cause its only compatible with the last versions
of GWX...

U-Boat 1.1 and 1.2 makes use of Dial Cfg and menu-ini files from GWX
So if its made to previouse versions of GWX and you instal it over
GWX 3.0 you are changing ( OverWriting) those same files with older
version files , and that leads you to possible game crashes and other bugs...

The version for GWX 3.0 isn't even in the Working table,
what can you do is taking from the U-boat mod folder any cfg or ini file that
comes in the mod and even that way you will have strange menus cause
U-Boat changes even the text color and position of the text in the
screen to adapte the new menus I created...

My advise is to Simple add from the U-boat mod ( If you want)
Files like Officer Icons or Officer faces among others that simply
go directed to a change of a graphic and not game text files
(cfg , Menu-in..etc...) so that this way you can use at least
some of my graphics in the GWX 3.0...

All this above or wait for the next U-boat mod ...
