Conus Widescreen Again!

[Lord_Kitchener]

I just got a new pc, Windows 7 Professional. I installed the 4 GB patch, the game runs fine. Installed Conus WS with JSGME and nothing happens. I installed GWX DFa Flag and Pens 2010 first and it was working. Nothing is breaking the WS mod though cause I removed all mods except that. Anyone have this problem?

I have downloaded several. The one I use is by Kegetys. I can run it up to 1440 x 900. I have read that you can go higher, but no setting above that works for me. I don't know if it's my graphics card or the monitor. But it is a sight better than the default SH3 narrow screen.

Note that I did have to go into the d3d9.cfg file and manually set the resolution BEFORE I used JSGME. And I had to do this several times until I found the resolutions that worked with my hardware. Several do work; several do not. Again, as to why I have no idea.

Kegetys also allows you to set the location for screenshots, which work with the PrtScn key. But only TGA files.

I forgot! Actually, the mod I use to improve resolution IS NOT installed with JSGME. I simply copied d3d9.cfg and d3d9.dll into the main Silent Hunter 3 directory. JSGME works through "data" and its subdirectories.

Where can I download this mod from?

Actually JSGME will copy files into the game even if they're not in a 'data' folder (or subfolder). Anything in a mod's main folder but outside its 'data' folder will just be copied into the main game folder. So you could set up a mod to put the d3d9 files in there (and take them out again) that way. I do exactly that to enable patched versions of the Sh3.exe file and drop h.sie's supplement files into the game folder. Makes it easy to remove them again if something goes wrong.


Re: the OP, I'm using Conus' WS mod with Win7 and it's fine. If *nothing* is happening, meaning you see no change at all to the resolution or GUI after enabling it, you might want to double-check that the folder structure of the mod as copied into your MODS folder is correct. If it's not, JSGME doesn't copy the files into the right places in your game directory.
