Default SH3 Modding Tutorials

Hey all because of how many people have technical issues with the Steam distribution of SH3 and now i have gotten PMs mostly on youtube about requesting help, i have decided to start making tutorial videos and putting them on youtube. this is was originally a steam only thing but now it is clear a much broader help tutorials are needed.

(deleted paragraph that is no longer needed)



Note this one is long but i included the positions in the description so you can skip to what you need. I highly recommend my method of installing though in part 1 and repeating what you do there to Stieblers addons
a sequal will be made
Silenthunter3 : Applying JFO mod


If you have any requests PM them to me or just post below. I have a list of what I feel I need to make but i may miss something. and general feed back would be nice

Today I plan on remaking the Hsie patch kit + Stieblers addon pack tutorial Might even make the NYGM install tutorial as well

Also after I am done with SH3 i will be doing SH4 steam tutorials and might even break down and do SH5 after SH4 of course i will have to purchase SH4. but i enough i have no problem spending $20 to get both the stock game and uboat addon

The Silent Hunter triad is available in a Steam version as well as in the publisher's version. The Steam versions require some additional steps to use most mods, which are usually made for the more accessible publisher's release. In the case of SH5, there is one major mod which is incompatible with Steam. Whether there is any advantage to using the Steam version (and the Steam environment) is up to the individual. Some gamers obviously feel there is, and they can best present the benefits as they see them. There are a number of reasons, which I will not recite here, for shunning the Steam approach. YMMV.

Is it really needed? And if yes, for what precisely?

Any constructive response or comment is highly appreciated.

Weird. I bought SH3 from Steam but have never taken any extra steps to get it working or to get mods working on it. Everything has always worked right out of the box with no hassle. I just install the game on steam, point the GWX installer into the game's location inside the steam folder and then install JSGME into the game root folder. Then I install SH3 Commander and it picks up the path to the game automatically. Everything works just like it would with the disc version.

Default New Video

I posted a new video

Silenthunter3 : Applying JFO mod
can be used as a basic tutorial for adding messages, adding some folders to SH3 commander and editing manu.ini mods

A very good idea If one learns how to add JFO! one also learns simultaneously how to add pretty much any other mod that can't be installed with JSGME.

you are welcome astro

An update while I am going to probably do one of multi SH3 just because it may be a valuable resource for those who are more visual learners. That and i thought of a new way to do the vids so the multi SH3 will be the the test to see what people think.
