Generic mod enabler

[Vanishingpoint]

Hi all,

First time on this board although watched from afar for several months. Downloaded and installed gwx and got as far as activating a couple of mods in the generic mod enabler (integrated orders and english naval map/grid references). Im not sure the naval map has worked as the actual ingame map is in german and when I look at the map1 folder in mods it is trying to open as a winamp file !!!. Surely this is not right - what should the file be ???.

Am I barking up the wrong tree here (first time I have attempted to download and install/use such a large mod).

Hello and welcome to SubSim:up:

If you enabled the English names and you still German ones something is wrong. I'm not quite sure what is the problem as the mods you talk about do come with GWX so they should be Ok. Possible problems?
1. Did you use SH3Cmd and you didn't rollback before enabling the mods?
2. Did you enable the mods while you were at sea and not on your base?

Usually those are the most common reasons for these kind of problems. There is also the posibility that some files might be corrupted but I give it a minute probability. In any case if you need to know how to use JSGME you can check this tutorial. It's for RTR but it's the same principle http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?p=1009484

Also note that it only does the map at it's highest zoom levels. The purpose of it is to make all the Indian Ocean patrol regions english. The map at lower zoom levels is not important to gameplay and stays in German.

Thanks for the response. Installed gwx on top of vanilla sh3 and 1.4 patch (no sh3cmd installed) - then started first career. However, never thought about checking zoom level on map !!!. Will have a look tonight.

Also thanks for tutorial on jsgme.

I notice my map is still in German, not English. I saw it once(Nordsee was North Sea etc). Don't know why it only worked once, I enable it everytime I've installed GWX(had a few computer problems, Trojan Horse related, did System Recovery). Everything else in JSGME works fine, but the English NavMap mod.

You sure you're not looking at the further zoomed in map? The English names only appear at the three outermost zoom levels.
