Questions on GWX v3, & OLC's GUI

VonDorkGruber · 02-23-09, 04:01 PM

If this stuff has been answered elsewhere, which I imagine it has, I apologize, but I've done a bit of searching and have not been able to come up with what I'm looking for.

I'm running SH3, GWX 2.0 (which I love) w/OLC's targetting GUI mod (which I absolutely love). I'm running at mostly real (manual targeting, no "God's-eye view", etc.).

I saw GWX 3.0 is out, incorporating some of OLC's mods, but not the targetting GUI from what I can tell. I'm some months (realtime - playing opportunities are limited) into a campaign (early '44, one mission into the Indian Ocean base transfer), so I've a fair time committment, but the new GWX mod intrigues me. My questions are:

1) Is the GWX 3.0 a noticable improvement over 2.0? I don't mind starting over, but if 3.0 is mostly a consolidation of patches, etc....

2) If seen references to sonar info being reflected on the display maps, but I've not seen this in my version. Do I need an additional mod for this, or is it bundled in GWX?

3) Does OLC's GUI mod work with 3.0?

4) If so, what do I need to install? I'm kinda confused by OLCE, ubermod, etc., and am not at all clear on what it is I need to get it going in GWX 3.0. Plus, it seems the links I've come across for OLC's mods point to sites that seem to undergoing restructuring.

5) and finally, are there any other nifty mods that might be suggested? I don't really want to install every mod under the sun (there's SO many of them), but if there are a few that people have found nice, especially those concerned with targeting...

I can usually find what I need w/o pestering anyone, but am having a bit of trouble this time. Y'all have have been most helpful in the past...

TIA
