U-Boat 1.2 not installing??

[exponent8246]

Hi all.

I have recently downloaded and attempted to install U-Boat 1.2 via JSGME with no luck.
I installed it whilst in port as suggested. I also tried installing over a clean install patched to 1.4 then upgraded to GWX 2.0, again, to no avail.

Any ideas anybody??

P.S - The file, once downloaded appears as a 7Z file?? That doesnt seem right to me.

[Venatore]

Might be an idea just to send a PM to JCWolf as he is the owner of the mod, if he misses this he will get your backup PM.....good luck matey.

If you still have no luck PM me and I'll jump on JCs head to wake him up :smug:

[exponent8246]

Thank a lot Ven. Will do.:up:

Hi,
1. Did you download it from JC Wolf's site ?
2. Did you unzip it from 7z before putting it thru JSGME.

[exponent8246]

Hi,

Yeah, I dl'd it from JC's site.
I dont get an option of unzipping the file because it comes as a 7Z file (which is an XPS file).
Im have no idea what an XPS file is, never seen one before!!

Any ideas??:hmm:

[HW3]

7Zip is a free file compression utility. Check it out here http://www.7-zip.org/

[The Munster]

Dunno about XPS but I recommend a free utility by the name of 7 zip which will unzip U-Boat 1.2 to a folder. The folder is what you put into the MODS folder then activate thru JSGME. :up:

@HW3 Great minds think alike .. you posted as I was typing LOL

[exponent8246]

Excellent!!!

Thanks guys!!!

Got it!:up:

[JCWolf]

Does it work now !???:lol:


Tell me if there are any probs !:yep: :up:

[exponent8246]

Just goin through the motions now mate.

Will post soon.

[exponent8246]

I'm not sure what im doing wrong but I cant get it to work.:damn:

I have unzipped it and have been presented with a manual and 3 folders.

I am going to have a good read of the manual now.:oops:

[exponent8246]

To be completely honest. . . . . .

I dont know what i'm doing??

The other mods were simple.

A folder in the mods folder containing the necessary mod file.

This is a multitude of folders with various mod files??

I'm new to modding and am a little lost to be honest?

I had the same problem with racerboys SH4 effect for SH3 (with optional sounds) which I didnt end up installing because of the amount of files etc!

I need an idiots guide I guess.:oops:

[von Kinderei]

In one of those folders ya should see a folder named U-Boat 1.2 For GWX 2.0 (IO)

Put that folder into the mods folder in your SHIII main folder IF you're usin' the mod enabler ... it should show up now when ya open your mod enabler ... the other mods in the other folder ya do the same way ...


Hope that helps some ...

[exponent8246]

ok. will try that.

Thanks bud.:up:

[von Kinderei]

Good luck mate ...

[The Munster]

Just an additional tuppenth here ..

Once you've moved the folder into Mods folder, click on the JSGME icon [usually two cogs together], this will open up a list on the left hand side. Highlight the Mod you've just added then click the arrow pointing right [to the box on the right] then the highlighted mod will transfer over to the right and become enabled. Hope this helps you.

[exponent8246]

IT AINT HAPPENIN FOR ME !!!


Have done exactly as told and it just isnt working!!!:damn: :damn: :damn:

Gutted!!!

[The Munster]

What stage do you reach ? Do you get any error messages i.e. when you move the Mod from left to right you can on occasion get a message stating 'this Mod will change 'X' and could affect the game' etc.

[exponent8246]

I get no error msg at all. I get the confirmation "beep" then the name of the mod appears on the right-hand side.
I have tried disabling all other mods incase of a posible conflict. No joy.

The game starts up as normal and I get the standard red background with my options, campagn start etc.
I try starting a new campagn and i'm still getting the bog-standard red background etc.

All other mods I have installed via JSGME have installed without error.

Tried re-downloading the mod from JC website and unzipping it again.

All no joy.

Was really looking forward to it aswell!!:cry:

[The Munster]

Do you have these enabled ..

U-Boat 1.2 For GWX 2.0 (IO)
U-boat 1.2 Tools&Dials VO.4

and if so, what other Mods have you enabled and did you rollback SH3Commander beforehand if you use it.

[exponent8246]

I currently just have U-Boat1.2 for GWX 2.0 installed.

I dont have SH3 Commander installed.

Whats your thinking mate??

[exponent8246]

Do you think I should go for a clean install??

I still have the SH3 - 1.4b patch and the GWX 2.0 files so it shouldnt be so painful to re-install:hmm:

I can transfer all my other mod downloads to a safe folder and away I go!!

What do ya think??

[The Munster]

Wouldn't worry, it'll be something simple I, you and the rest of the World are overlooking.
I would recommend also enabling the Tools & Dials Mod then give it a try but does the Game load or do you get a CTD ?

[exponent8246]

I have just tried the tools and dials mod aswell as uboat 1.2. No joy:down:

I dont get a CTD and never have with this game.

The game loads completely just without the mod.

I might re-install.

What screen do you get by the way?? The initial menu screen that is.

[The Munster]

What intro screen do you get (that's the one at the start with the status bar loading at the bottom). Can you describe it to me ?

[exponent8246]

I get a screen saying " The grey wolves expansion 2.0" in the top left-hand corner and an image of the bow of a uboat firing a single torpedo. There is the faint picture of a wolf's head in the background.

Does that help at all?:hmm:

[The Munster]

Yeah it does, it looks like U-Boat 1.2 hasn't been enabled as it has a different loading screen. Back to the drawing board but real life beckons for me, I'm up before the birds every morning so must hit the sack zzzz
Anyone else with any ideas on this, feel free to jump in and help this guy out so to try and avoid a complete re-installation ?!

[exponent8246]

Well i'm hitting the sack too. Work in the morning!:down: :down:

Hope we have some answers when I get home from work tomorrow!!

[von Kinderei]

Dude ...

Are ya positive ya have the U-Boat 1.2 For GWX 2.0 (IO) and not the folder labeled U-Boat1.2 for GWX 2.0 :hmm:

I had the same problem and once I put the (IO) folder in the MODS folder it worked :up:


Tryin' to help ... hope ya get it ironed out soon cause it's a nice addition :yep:

Hi all

I know misery loves company so I wanted let exponent8246 that I'm experiencing the same problem. I've downloaded (using winrar) the file from JCWolf's site (again thanks for your help), opened the folder called U-Boat for GWX 2.0 and there are four separate sub-folders called U-Boat 1.2 for GWX 2.0 (IO), Optional Mods, Documentation, and the pdf U-Boat 1.2 manual. I added the U-Boat 1.2 for GWX 2.0 (IO) to the MODS folders under Program Files/ubisoft/silenthunter111/. The U-Boat mod (labeled properly as U-Boat for GWX 2.0 (IO), shows up on the JSMGE enabler, I flip it over to the activate side, and nothing happens.

Any suggestions are welcome!

cheers, astroglobe :arrgh!:

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!

Here is where I went wrong. . .

I created a folder in the MODS folder called U-Boat 1.2, I then placed the U-Boat for GWX 2.0 (IO) folder within the U-Boat 1.2 folder.

I have now realised that you have to just put the original "U-Boat for GWX 2.0 (IO)" folder in the MODS folder.

I only created a folder because the amount of mods I have downloaded are getting rather large so I wanted a way of making it easier for myself when it comes to enabling a mod.

I'm really sorry for wasting everybody's time and effort!!!:oops:

Do I get a prize for stupidity or what!!!:hmm: :rotfl:

Sorry guys. ( I cant wait to get stuck in now)!!

P.S - anybody have any suggestions as to what additional mods to include??
I love realistic sounds and visuals etc.

[JCWolf]

Mi guide helped somehow or what!???:lol:

[exponent8246]

It certainly did my friend!!!!

I'm sorry for not mentioning you but I was so excited about playin that I forgot!!

I really appreciate your guide (JCWolf) and also the help of everybody else who contributed!!

I've got to be honest, i've never come across a more helpful bunch of people in my life!!

Thanks to you all!!:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :up:
