GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion Mod) - Page 446

It has in the past for me using GWX 3.0.

Sometimes, for unknown reasons, SH 3 will just mess up a savegame. It has not happened to me in a while now since I have a computer with 8GB of ram, and use the 4GB patch. (Just watch now that I said that it will happen.) I do make alot of saves in game and, when it did happen, I could usually find one that would load. I think the farthest back I ever had to go was 3 saves to find one that would load.

Similar to HW3 experience...I doubt the problem is related to boat type and suspect it is changes to the environmental changes at load up.

I just loaded GWX gold and was trying to figure out how to load just some missions separately when I discovered JSGME was already set up with a number of options to enable but I don't see any separate campaigns.

Hi Darth and firstly welcome to our glorious community

In answer to your question, JSGME is merely ( if I may call it that ) a mod enabler. Campaigns are launched from the campaign menu from within SH3. OR BETTER STILL:

From SH3 Commander which adds a whole new dimension to an already masterful supermod and can be found here:

along with the gwx config files here:

Hope this helps mate. Happy hunting

Best regards.

How do you launch a campaign from within sh3?

desertstriker · 07-04-13, 06:14 PM

got to campaign make a new name and click the next button then select start new campaign. choose a flotilla and a starting year and boom click the next arrow and you are now in the patrol room.

I ended up getting SH3 Commander, but I didn't get the "configuration files". What are they, and should I get them? Commander seem to work just fine.

If you are using both Commander and GWX, then yes you should get the config files.

Hi, guys.
.
I need some help with gwx, I guess...
.
I'm very tired of hitting torpedoes in merchants and see them escape or remain floating. Medium Merchants or even small merchants often need more than one hit to sink to go. I think that in many cases one torpedo hitting should result in one sink (at least with merchants of about 2000 to 4000tons)... But it seems to me that the torpedoes in GWX is very weak, or hitpoints of ships is that they are high (or its flooding amount), whatever

.
Is there any mod that corrects this? Or should I edit some file? Which file?
.
Thanks.

Perhaps you might check the historical record and notice how many small/medium merchants had to be finished off with the deck gun after a single hit. Also, bear in mind that a ship which sinks in half an hour after being hit has gone down pretty fast. How often do you stick around long enough to ensure that your cripples didn't sink when you were out of sight?

To add to BW's comments, are you using impact or mag fuses? if it's mag fuses check the targets draft and set your fish between .5 and 1 metre deeper. Keep trying mate, we all been there. Practice makes perfect don't you know

Best regards.
