New mega-mod - Grey Wolves Expansion (GWX) OneAlex Edition

[33lima]

Just started using this and it seems great. Self-contained, unzip and play, regular updates. Includes GWX; the German U-Boat Compilation; excellent environment (MEP?); a widescreen mod; JSGME with submods including extra U-boat skins; optional SH3 Commander utillity; and other good stuff.

After some detective work I figured out how to find and run the Hsieoptions selector and removed the torpedo " fix ". I also noted that the Bad Weather fix wasn't even activated. We'll see how it goes.....

Well, that was something. Lousy weather the whole time and I fired 5 shots at 2 stationary and 1 moving targets and all exploded prematurely although set for impact. I mean, really? I'm not wasting any more time on this rubbish. The " fixes " are anything but....

Did you start a new career. Maybe the fix wont work on an already saved game.

"Did you start a new career. Maybe the fix wont work on an already saved game. "

I did it all while " in base " so it should have taken effect. But I'm not going to bother with it anymore. The game load time is excessive and three times out of four it crashes at 85 %. Too annoying to be considered as fun.

Are other mods compatible with this new megamod?

[33lima]

Some possibly, but it may already incorporate your favourite mods. It comes with several optional JSGME-ready 'sub-mods', including U-boat skins.

The load time is long but I don't recall it being much more so than GWX (at least with the must-have GUC U-boats added). LSH is reported to take much longer.

I'm not getting any loading crashes and haven't seem them reported particularly for GWO. The mod has been stable for me...EXCEPT a couple of times I have had, after loading, the 'boat falling uncontrollably to destruction' bug which the GWX manual says is a known SH3 bug (more common in mods? IDK) and provides a workaround to rescue the save. I've rescued one of my two careers with this and am about to try it on the second, as the crush depth savegame bug just hit both.

[Gunshy]

I click " load save " go make myself a coffee, roll a smoke to ease the tension and am back just in time to watch it crash. So, being a dedicated Uboot commander I do it all again, minus the coffee as I'm already wired up. Crash... rinse and repeat. Third or fourth time it loads. Then all my torpedos explode shortly after leaving the tube. Whereas on GWX it loads in 25 seconds, my torpedos do what they should, even the T2's on magnetic and I can even save when close to land. I did have a crush depth problem though. Boat was damaged and going down. It got almost to the red line before starting to rise but when it reached 120m the game decided to kill us all anyway. I was miffed !

I have already installed (GWX) OneAlex, but Norton Anti-virus detected a file envsim.act is Infected with a virus : Heur.AdvML.C (Presence),CSIDL_DRIVE_FIXED\sh3 onealex\sh3\envsim.act.
I excluded and restored the file under Norton, Is it safe in the system?

I'm on 1.46 and have been running it and before that, 1.45, for some weeks; FWIW, neither MS Security Essentials nor Malwarebytes objects to that file or anything else in my install.

...GWX Onealex Edition, it's unzip and go, basically.

Are you serious? This isn't a new mega-mod, this is a full game crack+mods!

Have you never asked yourself why that Onealex version works without previuosly installing an original version of SH3, and even without legally purchasing it? Are you really so naive?

What you recommend here is a pirated copy and illegal

Keep in mind they're selling SH3 here and ask yourself:
What will be your next recommendation? Maybe a complete full download cracked and modded version for U-Boat as well?

Please, Lima, wake up!

It is a problem that the sky is dark, not even when any available mods are not activated, any ideas to improve it?

I unticked the set wave height on game setting under SH3 commander, the sky came back!
