List your SHIII mod loadout

kvbrock82 · 02-25-11, 09:18 AM

Ive recently decided to come back to SHIII seeing as im not overly overwhelmed by the immersion factor of SHV. In the past I always used to just install GWX 3.0 and leave it at that but this time im seeing what else I can throw in to spice things up a little.

Heres what i went for:

-GWX 3.0
-Lifeboats&debris
-Torpedo Explosion
-Fubar Skins Pt1-4
-TMT v2
-OLC 'Gold' MKII - Env with EDE and GUI with LRT

Im not even sure if these go together or if im missing any must have mods, so any help will be most appreciated. I've always used Manual Targeting too, so learning the techniques used in the OLC mod are going to prove a big challenge.

Anyone else care to list their mod loadout or provide some feedback so i can milk the most out of SHIII for the last time?

Cheers.

- GWX 3.0
- h.sie's Realism fixes, V15D
- GWX 16 km environment
- GWX enhanced damage effects
- Torpedo damage final v2.0
- Thomsen's Sound pack v3
- LifeBoat&Debris v4
- Wooden Lifeboats Mod
- OLC's modified searchlight beams
- OLC GUI 1.2.7 (customized version, see below)*
- SH5 water
- Custom crew skins mod (combined from several skin mods)
- Waterstream & Exhaust combi v2.3
- KJF small moon hires
- MFM 3.2 (with skin packs loaded via SH3 Commander)
- TMT v2 + Thomsen's Ships v4.2
- Bad weather fix
- skin mod for sub (I change this whenever I change boats)
- small personal tweaks (minor language and keyboard changes - I want to have english menus and messages but a german gui (all the tdc labels etc.). I also use a finnish/swedish keyboard, so I moved a few commands around.)

* Because the latest OLC GUI locks the periscope zoom levels (I think), I use an older version (1.2.7). That version, however, required doubling of ship mast heights to work, so I made new periscope and uzo backgrounds for OLC v 1.2.7 that work with the real mast heights. Obviously, I too use manual targeting.

No, already done it so many times now I draw the line.

Unless you slip me £1000 then I will.

Full info on them is in the GWX manual, but basically the 16km atmo increases the visible surrounding environment from the stock 8km to 16km... so for instance, when you are standing on the bridge at sea the horizon would be roughly 16km away instead of 8km, and you and your crew will have the potential to spot other units at a much greater distance.

The Integrated Orders rearranges the icons that appear when you click on one of the crewmember icons (Navigator, Chief Engineer, etc.) at the bottom left of the GUI, adding some I think and making more of them readily available in fewer clicks. It also makes them appear directly above the row of crewmember icons which IIRC is another change. I've been using it so long I can't really remember what it was like before.

The day before yesterday I installed Makmans Environment Pack v3 and it's amazing.
Didn't think I could run it but it works fine. I wanted to push my pc to the limit, so I also added the High Res fix and even that works. Only when close to harbor frame rate drops to about 27fps, but it's still playable.

So @ColinDougherty; if you find FMInterior is too heavy on your system, try MEP V3. It's a different kind of mod (changes environment graphics instead of the uboats interior) but it makes the game really look beautiful. It also pushes the horizon away even more (20km) and it adds this cool effect that when you see a ship that's about 20km away, you see the smoke first, and the hull later (to reflect the curvature of the earth). And your computer specs are better than mine so you can definately run it.
Also check out the Waterstream+Exhaust mod, it adds water streams to the 'holes' in your U-boat, and exhaust fumes. Really nice.
