Basic.cfg has to be the one provided in the mod, or the game will crash, basically none of the submods listed above is optionnal (unless stated otherwise).

Hello Mikhayl, the only thing I did not install was the Campaign Sb
after that the game runs.

Thanks Dutchie-one

PS and all the best for 2010

Hi all!
I'm experiencing problems with the mod, even if I followed carefully the installation procedure posted by mike I got repeated CTDs after November 1939. It seems I am the only one, so I would really appreciate if someone could share with me his installation procedure.
Thanks

Hello Linerkiller, I do not know it`s same problem
but when I start a Career and I start after 2 saved game`s I get a CTD to.
I also did a instal like Mike says so I do not know what is the problem.
sorry

Yes, it seems to be my very same problem, when I try to load a career patrol after nov 1939 ( yes, the time of two average patrols + time spent in port ), the game crashes mid-loading! The strange fact is (apart from having no other mods installed) the museum works well and carefully finishes its loading!
I dont know what's happening here!

Mikhayl · 01-30-10, 12:26 PM

Looks like nothing is working for anybody

First let me say again: this mod is unfinished, released only in case someone wants to pick it up and finish it/fix the bugs. Any play is just bonus, but it's not intended for.

Now, even if it has bugs, it should work, it works on my PC so I see no reason it wouldn't work at all with others.

For the installation:

1. Download those files:
Part 1: http://www.mediafire.com/?3zgmkyqo4yo
Part 2: http://www.mediafire.com/?mnmyymylzhz
Part 3: http://www.mediafire.com/?tnjmzinmtm1
Part 4: http://www.mediafire.com/?ktzy0jenzmi
Part 5: http://www.mediafire.com/?qym0wmuw2xy
Part 6: http://www.mediafire.com/?cjwzmmmmm4m
Part 7: http://www.mediafire.com/?dlzm2qyzymt

If you already have that "Schnellboot Mods" file, no need to dl anything, it's the exact same.

2.
-Have a clean install of SH3, put a copy of JSGME in it and create a "MODS" folder.
-copy "SBM Install Step 1.bat.txt" in the main SH3 folder (where SH3.exe is located)
-open that file, delete the first line "FOR %%A IN (Sh3MissionEditor.exe) DO DEL %%A", save and exit
-rename "SBM Install Step 1.bat.txt" into "SBM Install Step 1.bat"
-double-clic on it, let it finish its work, then delete the file

3.
Copy all the submods to your fresh SH3/MODS folder.
Install the mods one by one with JSGME, in this exact order:

-If the mods are not in this order, the game will crash.
-If you don't install any of the mods on this list, the game will crash (except the two skinpacks, they are optionnal but recommended).
-If you install anything else that is not on this list, the game will crash.

Remember that if you start in Boulogne in 1940/1941 the game will crash because of a bug in the RND campaign layer (haven't found it).

If you fancy experimenting: if your game crashes while playing or loading, try to remember when and where it was. Then install "Blank RND Campaign" on top of the above the list, restart the game and try again. If the game doesn't crash, it means that the problem is in the RND layer. In all my tests that's the only sure cause of CTD that I had. But I tried to correct that file manually, spent hours on it, corrected several problems, but I can't find the rest of them.

Mikhayl · 01-31-10, 11:09 AM

Holy flying turd, I think I finally nailed the last stupid bug in that damn RND campaign file

Grab it here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/akh4d0

Use the install procedure exactly as in the post just above this one, but don't install "Campaign SB". Install that new "Campaign SB v0.1" instead.

Praises go to Jaesen "JScones" for his help and to LinerKiller for his undying support that pushed me to finally look into it

I will wait for some more extensive testing and eventual bug reports. If it works with no CTD I will make a clean package with just one large merged SB mod. It will be easier to install and easier to mod on top of if anyone feels like it.

asanovic7 · 02-14-10, 07:57 AM

I still cant download the new stuff..
but it seems to me that bug yo yell about also occurs in "my" sboot version for gwx 3.0.. right? after 1939 ctd?
just a thought..

what about heavy sea? does the boat survive the heavy sea conditions? although that is realistic(sboots didnt operate on heavy sea) it is a bit annoying..

do the flaks shoot precisely?
etc.
just asking to make myself go download it somewhere..

just to not watch miks work go down the drain..

Hi asanovic! I think Mike temporarily removed the latest download link until tests are finished. Then he will release it with a simpler installation process. Yes for the moment there are some RND problems that causes the game to crash somewhere around the world

but nothing that can't be fixed. The boat sometimes is destroyed if you open up the throttle in very heavy sea, but this could be seen as "historically correct", even if annoying

. Flak guns shoot precisely now but aircrafts are still too tough to be shoot down in my opinion, Te heavy flak gun acts like a deck gun now, this is VERY funny but now it's a little too weak

.
Ask him to pass you the d/l link! He surely will be happy to work again with you! And apart from testing, I'm useless as modder

!!
Good sunday

asanovic7 · 02-14-10, 09:08 AM

from checking out miks threads.. i dont think he removed links on himself..
question of credits or?

asanovic7 · 02-14-10, 09:51 AM

well, ignore my last thought..

what you dont see, you dont know..

wojasos · 02-25-10, 04:00 AM

How can I download it? I can't find a link

.

Cheapskate · 02-25-10, 05:50 AM

Plissken has got Mikhayl's mods (and many others!) on:-

http://www.mediafire.com/Maik

Open SH 3 Mods folder. Then go to page 6.

Are the files in the "S-Boat MOD V2" folder the most current and the ones we are supposed to install? And am I correct in assuming part 1 is an installer and the other 6 files are the info the installer uses and we just drop the campaign files in like any other?

Any other tweaks required?

Sorry...been away from SH3 for a while

Cheapskate · 04-15-10, 04:23 AM

Hi Skippyjack

The files in Plisskens Vol 2 of Mikhayl's mod ( Now on page 7 ) are indeed the latest available.

Vol 001 is the file used to decompress the volumes through to 007.

It isn't really an installer as such. As you will see from Mikhayl's readme, there is quite a complicated procedure to be undertaken to complete the installation.
However, if you follow his instructions to the letter, you should be able to get it up and running.

Good luck

SkippyJack · 04-15-10, 07:06 PM

Thanks Cheapskate, I'll give it a whirl..To my embarrassment I actually looked at file 1 and figured that out after I posted

I'm confident I'll get it up and going...judge not by post count, but in a mans ability to use the search key

That and I've been around a while...my first console was a Philips’s Odyssey <.<
