@Harald Lange:
In order to obtain the symbols you like from GWX in NYGM, follow these instructions:
1. Create a new multiple folder (call it GWX_ICONS) in your existing MODS folder, thus:
MODS\GWX_ICONS\data\menu\gui\units.
2. Copy these files from your GWX folder silenthunteriii\data\menu\gui:
contline.tga, dashline.tga
into your new folder MODS\GWX_ICONS\data\menu\gui.
3. Copy these files from your GWX folder silenthunteriii\data\menu\gui\units:
UnitAir.tga, UnitAirL.tga, UnitAirM.tga
UnitLand.tga, UnitLandL.tga, UnitLandM.tga
UnitMship.tga, UnitMshipL.tga, UnitMshipM.tga
UnitWship,tga, UnitWshipL.tga, UnitWshipM.tga
(Possibly also UnitSub.tga, UnitSubL.tga, UnitSubM.tga if your prefer it)
into your new folder MODS\GWX_ICONS\data\menu\gui\units.
4. Activate your new GWX_ICONS mod with JSGME.

I've tested my own advice, the results are effective.

@U570:
Can you please make clear which link you require? Thanks.

@Sittingwolf:

There does not appear to be anything wrong with the Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1 folder or its contents, and at least one NYGM user has got it to work without a CTD, see here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...7&postcount=41

The same folder works without difficulty for me in my new installation of NYGM.

Therefore it seems that there is an error in your installation of the folder.

Firstly, have you installed H.sie's V16B1 patch (and its extra mods folder) BEFORE you added the Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1 folder?
If not, you must fix this problem immediately!

If you still have CTDs:
If you have installed the Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1 folder with JSGME (if not, why not?), then uninstall it again. Now simply rename each subfolder with a leading 'XXX'; I suggest you start by renaming the Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1\Menu first to Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1\XXXMenu.

Then reinstall with JSGME, and see if you still have a CTD. If so, rename the other folders one by one with an 'XXX' until the CTDs cease. Then you will know where the problem lies. (Note - you must rename the Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1\Air and the Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1\Roster folders together.)

I hope that helps.

Thanks Stiebler,

I think I really followed your previous instructions on how to install it correctly.
Anyhow, at some point, I must have done it wrong.
Will get to that again.

Ok, sadly I must say I give up.
After really following the instructions given by you and looking into that post you provided the link to.

The thing is, ALL the installation steps go fine and without any problems till I have to add that Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1.
Even when I copy sh3.exe yet patched with H.sie's V16B1 into YOUR OWN folder downloaded from the link above, it just CTD's.
Without that addon EVERYTHING works correctly.

Just in case, I give you my procedure of installing everything from the very beginning, for analysis. Maybe you will tell me where my mistake lies.

1. I install the game and execute it once for SH3 folder in my documents.

2. All the downloaded and unpacked folders from NYGM Tonnage War Mod - More than a mod: it's an experience! go to JGMSE/MODS folder.
(I know that when I unpack all the contents, the folders are actually double), so I copy only inner folders containing files into JGMSE/MODS. After that they are activated one by one in the correct order shown on the NYGM website.
PLEASE MIND THAT I DO NOT ACTIVATE: H.sie's V16B1 patch, Stiebler3B_Addon_for V16B1 and Stiebler4B_Addon_for V16B1 in that way.

3. Now, I patch the original sh3.exe using H.sie's V16B1 patch and use mod selector. As I run 64Bit, it's activated as well. All the process goes fine and it's hunky-dory.

4. Sh3.exe yet patched with H.sie's V16B1, I copy into Stiebler3B_Addon_for V16B1. Same procedure, ALL GOOD but this time I copy patched executable into Stiebler3_addon_for_V16B1 (internal folder).
After that, the entire folder and only that one goes to JGMSE/MODS.

5. Sh3 folder patched with Stiebler3B_Addon_for V16B1 goes to Stiebler4B_Addon_for V16B1 this time. Same procedure. All the process goes fine. I use convenient mod selector again. All good. Done. Now I copy the patched sh3.exe into internal folder Stiebler4B_addon_for V16B1. Next, I copy internal folder Stiebler4B_addon_for V16B1, as the only one, into JSGME/MODS.

6. Now, having it all done, I activate it all in the, I think, correct order:
a) Supplement to V16B1 goes first.
B) Stiebler3_addon_for_V16B1 goes second.
C) Stiebler4_addon_for_V16B1 goes last, After all the mods activated beforehand.

Any mistakes?

@SittingBear:

You do not need the Stiebler3A patch at all.
All its elements are included within the later Stiebler4b patch.

Throw away the 3A patch. Forget it completely.

Therefore, you need to patch your original copy of SH3.exe only twice, once with H.sie's patch, once with the 4b patch.

Also, do NOT use the Options Selector until you have completed BOTH patches.

Your order of items 6a,6b,6c is correct, except that again you do not need the Stiebler3A contribution.

Use JSGME to remove the mods you have recently installed, back to NYGM 3.6B (keep NYGM 3.6B in place).
Then patch your original copy of SH3.exe again, with only the double-patch (Hsie, Stiebler4b). NOW you can use the Options Selector. Add the double-patched SH3.exe to the Stiebler4b folder.
Install first H.sie's Supplemental Folder, then the Stiebler4b folder.

Best of luck!
Stiebler.

I play GWX for many years (now with your last fixes). Now, I will try the last version of NYGM.

Q-Ships for NYGM sound good. Looking forward.
