Hi there,

I tried to open the cfg file, but windows reports that it can not open the file. What am I doing wrong?

TIA

Brad

Hello,

You make nothing wrong...it's a normal behaviour of Windows...
But you not use the good way..
Right clik mouse on the CFG file
You will see a menu...and there you will find option.."open with"...take it and after choice the "Notepad" in the list of applications....
It's just ONE of the basic use of Windows.....
Will remember you...Bill Gates put a HELP section in his OS...and it worth to just check it for the basic use of Windows.

Military regards.

How to install & play SHIII WITHOUT STARFORCE INSTALLED:

get your SHIII retail disk off of the shelf & blow off the dust
get the latest v1.4b patch for SH3
get the v1.4b crack (from the usual suspects )

install game(DO NOT RUN SH3 after INSTALLING!)
Starforce doesn't install when you install the game, SF is installed the FIRST TIME you RUN the SF protected game exe
install patch(DO NOT RUN SH3 after PATCHING!)
for same reason as above
use cracked files to replace original game files of same name, NOW you can RUN the game safely (and without the CD too!)

this will work until there is an official patch to remove it

BUT PLEASE, ONLY USE A LEGITIMATE RETAIL COPY to INSTALL!

How to change the airstrike file for more planes, Open notepad and goto Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\Data\CFG\Airstrike.cfg You need to read carefully here, to add more planes for convoy cover just change the line {3.4 add more aircraft probabilistically for a large target} to 3.5 for example.

You can also change your contacts in the file Contacts.cfg for example {Display Range To Opportunity Radio Contacts=300 ;[>0] kilometers[ To 500 or something

Could someone please post an updated list of "must-have" mods for an old seadog looking to get back into the game? I am currently running v. 1.4B without any mods at all. So...

Which gameplay mods SHOULD I use?

And which visual mods? (I saw someone doing an improved seabed mod a while back, looked ace...).

Thank you
Kepler

LOL, was thinking the same thing. I was about to reinstall SHIII after a long absence, (computer crashed), but then I looked at my add-ons folder and thought: "Oh man, to sort all this out! Can't remeber half the stuff, I got here"

Well, right now I am reinstalling Half Life 2.

...I felt the need for something else after a week of monster bashing in Titan Quest...After some thinking I decided to go for HL2 or SHIII, then of course I could fire up Lock-On...come to think of it, I've got too many games :p
