Merchant fleet mod question

bstanko6 · 04-24-15, 02:44 PM

I would liket o use this mod V3.2, I have NYGM and it comes with IABLships. Do i enable this mod with IABL ships or do I remove IABL then, install? Not quite sure. I placed just Merchant fleet in and it gave me CTD so i am trying to figure out the procedure to install.

Thanks

What are your system specs? The usual reason for CTDs with the MFM is not enough memory. You need to have at least 6 GB of RAM and use the 4GB patch. I could never run the MFM until I got my new computer.

Hi SailorSteve,

I am running a toshiba e55 satelite with 623 GB of free space, not sure about ram, let me look into that. I do not have the patch.

What about installing? is this a stand alone mod, where i remove IABLships? or does it over write them?

Steve, I have 6GB of RAM installed.

By the way, I love your DBSM for SH3, since i switched to NYGM from GWX, i use it to give me that GWX feel. Good job!

The quickest way to get the patch is to download SH3 Front-End.

You can use any or all of the mods available through it. If you're not interested in the rest, this will let you activate the patch easily.

The 4-Gig patch is unrelated to any mods. All it does is tell your PC to use 4 Gigs of memory instead of the usual 2. I don't think any changes are required. If it doesn't work you can always remove the mods and try again.

It really does make a difference.

Steve, I meant merchant fleet. Do I have to uninstall IABLShips then install merchant fleet?

Sorry, I misunderstood. I would look at IABL Ships and then see which of them are also in the MFM. If a ship is in both it might cause a problem. If not, I would go for it.

ok, I got it running and let me tell you, the ships look great, I did a test run and came across a Honduras freighter. Awesome. Can't wait to see the other schemes.

I do have another concern:

I placed everything in my JSGME, the merchants and paint skins., that is like 6 files and the skins have dates for when they change gradually over time. Am I to manually move these files as time goes by, or does it do that itself? To clarify, do the skins change themselves as time goes by, or do I have to change it? I cant find clarification.
