I'm thinking about to install this mod, but first i want to know if it would be compatible with my actual SH3 mods list, and whre inside my current mod list i could install this to avoid CTD.

My current mod list:

Thanks in advance for your help

I don't see why it would be incompatible with anything else you've got - essentially the MFM is just adding (a lot of) additional ships to your game, not altering stuff that's already there or that has been added in by other mods.

However because of the large number of ships being added (and therefore loaded by the game every time you run it), it does put quite a strain on your system resources. The #1 obstacle to running this mod from what I've seen here is not conflicts with other mods, but lack of RAM. If that's a problem after enabling the MFM, it will most likely manifest in a CTD when you are trying to load a patrol. If that occurs my first suggestion would be to disable it and try the Lite version instead.

Also look into the 4GB patch for the game .exe file if you have not done so already. Many people find that they cannot run the MFM at all without the patch.

I'm having trouble running this mod with GWX. It seems to crash my game every time during the mission loading screen. I've even tried running it by itself so that there wouldn't be any conflicts with other mods and still it crashes the game. I'm on Windows 7 Pro system.

I have 8GB of ram, and still have to use the 4GB patch to run the full MFM on a Vista 64 system. Without the patch it would crash during loading.

I am always afraid of running a 3rd party fix since I am somewhat programming illiterate, yet that 4g patch was simple. DLing the MFM as we speak, danke to all involved

This looks like an obscene amount of eye candy... Downloading and sending thanks in advance...

Okay, that's your system. How much RAM do you have. MFM is very memory-intensive, and as already described, crashing during loading is a sign of not enough memory. If you have suffecient RAM, are you using the 4-Gig patch, which allows the system to access more memory?

And just checking back to say it worked perfectly.

I run on 100% with no map updates and this has added a lot to the depth of the game for me. Trying to figure out whats right in front of you during a storm has become a mission in itself!

Am very grateful to IABL. This is magic!

Good to hear! So, do you use SH3 Commander, and are you using my Ship Names mods so all the ones you sink will be real?

Just checked that... No. I can see the normal ones but not yours.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks
