Default Might Help

1. Download JSGME from here:
www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4725
This great little program will make installing and uninstalling mods for SH3 easy for you.

2. Extract the JSGME zip file into the folder you have SH3/GWX installed ( for example C:\SH3_GWX or whatever name you have installed under) You should not install SH3 in your C:\Program (X86) directory.

3. Once you have extracted JSGME into your SH3/GWX folder you will see this file jsgme_setup.exe


4. Double click on jsgme_setup.exe and the program will ask you what folder you want the program installed to....select the folder you have GWX installed in. You will then see JSGME. application file in your GWX folder.... double click it and a box will open...you will see a small box to the left with the text "MODS" in it ...click ok and it will create the folder MODS in you GWX folder. This is where you will place your mods. the main JSGME window will open....exist the program for now. read over the JSGME documentation.


5.Now extract Merchant_Fleet_Mod_3.3.rar into the MODS folder JSGME created for you in your GWX folder. You will now have a folder named "MFM_Improved" in the MODS folder.


6.Start JSGME and you will see MFM_Improved in the left side window click on it to select it. Next click on the > arrow and it will load the merchant fleet mod into you GWX and you will now see MFM_improved in the right hand activated mods window...that's it for the main mod your ready to go. If you want to remove the mod simply select the mod in the right hand window and click the < arrow and it will be unloaded.


7. If your going to use the Merchant skin packs that is a whole different ball game since you will be using date folders. You can put the correct skins at the correct time periods into GWX using JSGME. However it is much easier to use SH3 Commander (another must have program for a bunch of reasons). Once you setup SH3 Commander it can swap the skins in and out depending on the date automatically, you don't have to worry about it. Read about its features here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...t=our+mod+list

Using SH3 Commander is another different set of instruction. If you decide to go the SH3 Commander way PM me. Getting tired of typing, but I hope this helps.

It really is not that complex once you mess with these programs a bit.
