SCX team where are you?

[Linton]

The SCX team turned a subsim into so much more.This was thanks to a lot of work by many members who seem to have disappeared.Where are you all????

[Ramius]

Most of us are still here (all be it not so active anymore :oops:)

[Linton]

Perhaps the team could be asked to simplify the SCX process into one easy to install package like the DW mod install.

I´ve "patched" SCXII over my STEAM version of SC and it´s running just fine. I think the mods only change the database, and not the executable files.

First, you must install SCXII. Just download the file and unzip it under your SC directory. Make sure you read the "readme" file, because you´ll need to execute one or more files under the "graphics" directory. Then, download the SCXIIc and install it exactly the same way you did before (don´t forget the "readme"). There´s some files over www.subguru.com (http://www.subguru.com) that fixes some SCXII issues, like the ESM masts. Done! :D

SCXIIc Team may not be so active anymore, but as a Submariner for a big junk of my life, through most of the Cold war, I started in the early 60s, SC and SCXIIc is a great sim , in fact the best as far as I am concerned. Wolf has done wonders for DW but SC is a truly fine sim. And, for us old guys it reminds us of the "good old days".

I'm still trying to figure out how the SCX team got permission to mod the .dll files while DW's mod has been restricted:hmm: :-?

[Linton]

I will ask again,will someone from the SCX team rationalise the multiple instillatios into one easy install perhaps usinng an installer such s the one used for lwami?

Very good suggestion indeed. I second the idea.

They never did get the permission. Back then they just made it and SCS/EA didnt bother to make any legal waves.

EDIT : I'm currently looking into making a one file installer just like there is one for the LwAmi Mod including the JSGME tool. Since there is a lot of installing happening in both SCXII and SCXIIc I have to look through the whole installation process to get it to work with the Install Creator I use ... so far its looking promising.

With or without an installer, SCXII is great. You did a hell of a job. And I DO play SC a lot more than DW (ow, that Akula skin....)! Tks guys, a very nice work indeed.

Ok the SCX IIc installer is done.

From the ReadMe at the beginning of the installer :
This installer combines the SCX II and SCX IIc packages as well as the ESM Fix so you dont have to install either of them again.

Furthermore all changes for the SCU are done as well, so all you have to do is select your Submarine of choice - don't try to use the InstallPlayableSub.exe again - you don't have to. Same goes for the batch files which are still in some of the directories ... simply ignore them.

The only optional thing you can do is use the SC SoundEdit Tool (which is included in this installer) and add the buoy sound which is mentioned in one of the ReadMe's.

After installing the SCX Package there is no going back to Stock SubCommand unless you deinstall and install it again. There is no JSGME Tool or other such thing included in this installer.

Big Thanks to the SCX Team - you guys did a great job. I just put a new wrapping on the gift package.

The installer weights about 44MB which is actually 5MB less then all the other packages together.

P.S. : Anybody who wants to host this package or actually wants it - please contact me by IM or EMail.

Oneshot ,you have done a massive favour to the entire subsim community.I am sure that Bill will host this mod.I am going to pm Neal and ask that he recognises your efforts.Will you email it to Bill as he has told me he is prepared to host it.
