OK, so a lot of things work, some don't. The core problem seems to be my lack of control of JSGME:

- JSGME is working, it is creating;the necessary files/references/what-nots (e.g. new files in a new DATA folder in JSGME);
- JSGME is using the wrong folders - it creates the MOD folder in the JSGME folder, not in Silent Hunter WotP;
- Shifting the MODS folder won't work, because next time I open JSGME, it will not find the MODS folder and simply create a new (and empty) one;
- within JGSME (v2.6.0.157) I have no option of shifting the MODS folder to the place it needs to be;
- interestingly, the snapshot function works, it will be able to tell the difference between modded and unmodded, but the game simply doesn't find the modded data;
- while I can manually shift the MODS folder and the DATA folder to the place they should be, this would require manually checking that only the right files are overwritten. This seems to work with RSRD, because the number of files is limited, but there are far too many with TMO wtw for me to do that;
- I seem to need to install RSRD first, because a otherwise the changes from TMO wtw are restored to original by RSRD;

So, is anybody an expert on JSGME? There are only 1/2 dozen functions so there is not much I can miss but somehow it is simply not working like EVERYONE says it should (including people who use steam, so this seems to be pretty unique?!?!).

- when manually shifting the files to the respective folders, I can start the game and it will work nicely (I get the TMO starting screen) until almost the end (the loading bar is full), where it will not continue, because it cannot find certain files (e.g. "black80.tga"). The problem is that - despite the fact that I keep an unaltered back-up of both the original files (DATA folder) and the mod files (MODS and new DATA folders) - these files DO NOT EXIST ANYWHERE ON MY COMPUTER.
- The only reasons for this I can think of are:
* the mod files are incomplete (but someone before me would have noticed),
* mod version and my game version do not correspond

Since I was unable to finally confirm that I have 1.4 and not 1.3 (seems to be very common for SH4 on Steam), I upgraded to v1.5 U-Boat Missions. This means I will have to identify all mod files again and download them again.

P.S.: Ah and neither the "Help" nor the "update" function work and the link to Jonesoft Homepage in "About" is a dead end.
