You said "if you choose to remove the mod, you just disable it and you'll get the original GWX optional mods back". How does disabling "GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese and other units" give me back the original GWX optional mods? The "modded mods" have already been written to the games Data files when I enabled them, simply disabling "GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese and other units" is not going to undo what the modded mods wrote, is it? I would think you would have to disable the modded optional mods first, THEN disable the "GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese and other units". This would then return the optional mods to original condition and then you could re-enable them, if desired.

Wow, you like detailed steps don't you, LOL! :rotfl:
You cannot disable "GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese and other units" without disabling "GWX - Merged Campaign" and/or "GWX - Lite Harbor Traffic" first because JSGME won't let you - remember, it won't allow you to remove mods if subsequently enabled mods have changed the same files.
In other words, for you to have disabled "GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese and other units" you must have already disabled "GWX - Merged Campaign" and/or "GWX - Lite Harbor Traffic". Hence how you would end up with the original GWX mods.
I did not think it necessary to convolute my earlier post with such detail, as we're talking about a basic feature of JSGME. |
Yes, I like detailed steps, especially when doing something I've never done...like use a mod of this type. I like to know what and why I'm doing it...this philosophy has saved me MANY hours of correcting problems, in SH3 as well as anything involved with my system. I rarely "extract to your XXX directory" without first extracting to a temp folder so I can review what, exactly, I'm supposed to blithely put in my directories. I "assumed", after figuring out the "modded mod" thing, that I would have to disable the optionals first...and, no, that was never stated clearly. I do all this from past , very bad, experiences.
I'm sorry if you don't understand my passion for step by step instructions when dealing with something I haven't seen before and don't quite understand...but it won't change anytime soon. I understand the "basic functions" of JSGME, but when directions are given which "seem" to contradict what my understanding of these functions are, I'm going to ask questions.
So, I always RTFM...please make sure TFM is concise and explicit...unless you enjoy this type of interaction :p ?
Thanks
