Title: Ocean Liner attacked by U-boat year 1915
Post by: Third Mate on July 13, 2008, 01:19:35: I was doing a mission today in SH3 and i had to sink 2 troop ships that were traveling across the ocean at high speeds.And this is what happens when a submarine encounters with 2 armed troop ships. They both took under half an hour to sink at the bow.

Here is one of VonDos's ships, I think it was the Queen Mary, being used at the time as a troop transport, 3 torpedoes and down she went, I felt guilty when she went down, looked a little too realistic, I got a heavy pounding with depth charges then! :o

Great news, i found out what the ship was called.it was called HMT Aquitania or RMS and she was launched in the 1914. http://www.geocities.com/swsodspickly/aquit3.jpg, and you are right it was part of Cunard line.

The water will depend on the area you are in, Med, Atl, or Arc, just go to my download section for a number of mods that effect the environment including "A green Atlantic", SH4 Scene for SH3 etc:

That's unusual, you should come to a screen with an advertisement, click to continue to a list of games that I modded, click on the Silent Hunter III link, this should take you to a list marked "Reecek's Files" you can either click on the mods name, or on the right should be a "download now" button, if you have any problems just give me a list of the ones you are interested in & I will give a direct link here, I will post one for the GWX Sound effects pack (45meg):
http://files.filefront.com/AlternateSFXPackForGWX2+3a7z/;11072796;/fileinfo.html
Some of the others are marked as 8k & 16k atmosphere, the stock 1.4b game is 8k & GWX has 8k standard or 16k as an option, you have to make sure of the version you are using, it is advisable to use JSGME mod enabler tool as it is easy to then enable a mod or disable it! :)
Be sure otherwise to backup existing files first, here is the 8K atmosphere mod:
http://files.filefront.com/SHIV+Scene+for+SH3+8k+v3crar/;10225415;/fileinfo.html
and the 16k:
http://files.filefront.com/SHIV+Scene+for+SH3+16k+v3brar/;10000633;/fileinfo.html
both of these contain stock & other super mod version, plus GWX version.
Any problems just let me know. :D
Cheers.

Edit: Link to mod enabler: http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products.html
If you don't know 8k & 16k refers to the visible distance in kms, I prefer the 8k! better graphis detail

Thanks Reece they are really amazing :Di got a few just engouh so it can make the game 100% more acruate, i like them alot i just wondering that mod "random explosions" it says to put the "random" folder in the "SH3 Folder" but i looked everywhere but i could not find it, any clue whre it might be?
Title: Re: Ocean Liner attacked by U-boat year 1926
Post by: Reece on July 16, 2008, 07:42:57: You are probably referring to the depthcharge sounds located in the Documentation folder, these are to go into the SH3 Commander random folders, if your not using SH3 Commander then just let it go, if you like any of them better than the default one in the mods data\Sound folder just copy over it. ;)
Any help or advise just let me know here or send a private message. :)

Title: IXD2 BUG(s)
Post by: Third Mate on July 16, 2008, 10:11:46: Hey Reece,

I wand to ask you for some help.There is this submarine, type IXD2 and she is my favorite to.I have 2 bugs with this sub.1 is that the connection steel rope connecting to the bow is not long enough and it has a small gap and it looks very unrealistic, secondly a piece that meant to be attached to the top of the conning tower is sticking out in the right side of the vessel and it looks very bad.Can you please make some sort of patch specially for this vessel so it can fix these 2 things, i cannot put up with theses things much more, this sub looks so big and beautiful, and for once i would like to see it normal, i mean what does everyone have against my favorite sub

i remember somethign about the file saying that it replace the music when you get your u-boat destroyed at the end. or when you would click " continue watching as an observer", but if im seeing things well, that would be an idea of a new thing for the game anyway ;D
