Did you rollback SH3coomander before applying those mods ?
Or install them straight away

I tried the GWX .exe file and received a message "verificationof E Silent Hunter III by the Grey Wolves expansion failed :

Test 1 Passed
Test 2 Passed
Test 3 Passed
Test 4 Passed
Test 5 Failed

Is 5 corrupted?

[bigboywooly]

I would say yes if it failed
Delete that one and D\L again
Corruption can and does occur through downloading which is why this handy tool was included

The verification error message is due to the SilentHunterIII folder NOT being a clean install patched to 1.4b

I did use a clean install patched to 1.4b

Ok guy's try this.....

A couple of testers had the same problem and we fixed it with my copy of GWX's 16km ATM.

Usual story, rollback SH3Cmdr, disable the original 16km ATM, extract and copy this one into JSGME's mod folder & enable.

Be sure to hit the "Roll-Back" button if you are using SHCommander, even if you haven't even made any option selections in SHCommander. Just hit the button, and then try your install if this is the case.

I used the file the tester suggested and it cured my problem with black skies .

Thank you sir .

No corrupt files when I tested it with MD5 .

A bump for people not aware of the search button j/k

Maybe a MOD could merge these two threads.

hadn't seen this! :rotfl: but just found out that the original 16km atmosphere mod is the reason for my black nights! Without it installed, it's now perfect! Glad to see it confirmed!

Not sure anymore, why I would want a 16km atmosphere? :hmm:

The above log is not from the MD5Compare - it's from the installer. It is saying that the selected installation of SH3 is already modded, hence is invalid.

The above log does NOT imply corruption of any d/l file. To determine that one needs to run MD5Compare and load the GWX.md5 file.

The installer does five tests whenever a path is selected. The fact that there are five tests should not be confused with the fact that there are also five bin files. Mere coincidence.

Yeah, Filefront is 'down' at the moment. I guess GWX cooked it.:rotfl:

Give me a minute and I'll get a mirror up.

[Jan Kyster]

Darn, you are quick! :rotfl:

Thanks a lot!
