[REL] Re: GWR 2020

At this point, have set aside attempting to add this to the virgin copy I have of SH3... My reasoning is.. understanding the correct order of doing so, is an unclear, convoluted jumble.

The original GWX, was done so, in a clear concise manner.. in that it was simplified, you clicked on the install .exe for it & away it went. LSH3, was in the same format, as GWX. CCoM users, were given a clear concise road map of install order & what to do if issues arose in installing it. (that I recall of.. to be frank, it has been some time since I used CCoM, so My recall with it may be a bit rusty...). WAC, was like CCoM, as well. NYGM, I ran into issues with understanding what to do to get that installed, to the point I just stopped even trying.

That said.. I do want to give this a fair shake.. but at this point, am just stymied as to getting everything lined up for proper install...

Am wondering, if it is possible to have the GWR, set up in a format to allow for it to update a GWX install... or to have the install do as GWX did, start an .exe command that does the install for you.. Yes, I do have some experience with file editing.. but only to a point.. beyond that, I don't feel comfortable poking around with file editing...

I really do want to give this a try, but.. as I said.. am not understanding just how to get it working...

I hate to upset you, but you are faced with a problem similar to NYGM and are faced with the dilemma of choosing what you want.
I'm not a great teacher to explain what needs to be done. I, like a small child, read from pictures.
Using JSGME rather than installer I can always go back to SH3 stock. But if someone has ideas, I will definitely listen to them.

All the so called GWX improvements that come from this guy almost never work. He cobbles this stuff together and never puts out an install order that is worth a damn and never really answers peoples questions in a straight forword manner. Thats why I won't use his stuff.

@ J0313

I agree 100%. I give up after 4 hours of wasted time, which I spent unsuccessfully to get this mod running, now I'm annoyed and hope for LSH3 Edition 2020, which will explain the installation in a reasonable way. It's a pity, because for the creator here it would probably have taken only 30 minutes to put together a step by step installation guide, with which I probably would have solved the CTD problems
