Silent Hunter 3 with Mods

Ok fellas, I am reinstalling SH3 tonight (well, on the new PC) so I can be blown away by the graphics. I'll DL GWX 2.0 tomorrow at work (better connection by far) and install that. Then I will give it a go and hopefully sink some things this time.

Some one might have to walk me, step by step, through the process

 

Don't forget a total fresh install remove mods if any delete SH3 folder

Install
SH3
GWX 2.0
GWX2.1 Final update

Happy Hunting.

 

Its a new PC so no previous version of SH3 here. I did forget to bring home the jump drive though >.< will have to wait till next week.

 

Reinstalling tip

If your like me and have added extra ships in to there folders SH3/GWX2.1 and want to save yourself time doing it all over again because you got a problem and need to reinstall the game do this. Save a copy of your Sea & Roster folders first and when you done the reinstall just swapped them over and your be back to normal.

It worked for me........

 

Al these mods are all JSGME friendly or so I grouped them in groups for you all.


Cheat Mods
Contact line puts the tail back on your U-Boat on the plotting map etc.
Stronger Torpedo well that speaks for itself
GWX2.1 Spy Sat shows up all the convoys as they move across your map.

Sound Mods
Harbour sound
Real Depth Charge

Nice add ons
Life Boat & Debris_v3b adds floating stuff and life boats when you sink ships
Torpedo damage final makes hits look good
Sobers 3D waves nice touch to the sea
Binoculars nice touch

Unfortunately some of the read me's for the ships have, please contact me if you want to include them as freeware mods. So I decided not to do them, the above are all clear. I will put up a list of the ship names so you can track them down over on SubSims later on.

BTW: I would recommend Silent Hunter 3 Commander nice little add on.

I would like to stress I am not repeat not the author of any of them.

 

Richard,
Have you spent any time in the SHIII-SHIV forums on eve? This is my first trip here as I was looking for something else and Google gave me this forum, interesting though. I am in the process right now of downloading GWX 3. I was one of the first to embrace SH1, then when WinXP came along and wouldn't run it I prayed for SH3 to happen, as I heard it was going to, (skipped SH2 as I heard it was a bit of a piece of schite), been a big fan of 3 and followed all the mods from the start. Love it.

...cont.
Not such a big fan of SH4, mostly due to interface. Don't know why they went away from the proven 3 functionality.

Hello James welcome to WW2F.

I started with SH1 bought it cheap many years ago and went on to SH2 which was not bad but there were draw backs. SH3 was the break though and when I heard about this GWX team who were working to improve on SH3 I must say I was a little worried. That is to say, until a friend of mind gave me a copy of GreyWolfs 1.1a which was there early version which I found very good. I held off on a later follow up's until GWX2.0 and now GWX3.0 which is very good.

I have heard they are tweaking SH4 and if they do to that what they did with SH3 then I can imagine they will do a good job, clearly a year and so to wait. I bought the U-Boat add on to SH4 just wondering why is there a Type XXI in the game?
