Mod Question...Which ones? & In what order

[Trunks420]

Ok... irst off...Hi guys hows its going.

Second thing.. I need help.... Im not sure of the best way to set theese mods up. Im looking for something thats going too the most realistic game experiance possible. So I have downloaded theese mods

Triggers mod v.1.7.6

Paciffic Enviroment 1_1 ala

Patch ofr PE1_1 ala

PE1_1a3 new scene test

and RFB1.4 for ROW_RC1

Now i guess my question is.... Which order do I need to install theese? Or am I missing a few important mods?.... Im just not sure...and i dont want to mess it up, because more that likley I would have to reinstall SH4....in which Im trying to avoid...... Any help on this would greatly be apprectiated...

Trunks420,

You would install in this order:

Trigger Maru 1.76
Pacific Environment 1_1 ala
Patch for PE 1_1 ala
PE1_1a3 new scene test

You cannot install Trigger Maru & RFB at the same time though. You can install RSRD & NSM After the Pacific Environment Mods also.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jrex, I'll give it a go and see what happens.

This is the order I am installing my mods to my SH4 1.5:

1. 1_TMaru_Trigger_Maru_1.7.6
2. ALL ROW mods except for the Special Effects one
3. Addon for Reflections in Water
4. Pacific Environments 1_1Alpha
5. Patch for pe1_1Alpha
6. PE 1_1 a3_new_scene_test
7. NSM4 light
8. RSRDC_V310_for_V15


I haven't ran the game yet as I'm at work doing this remotely, but I'll try it tonight. Can anyone see any problems with these mods working together and in this particular order of installation?

Thanks.

I would like to try RSRD, RFB, ROW and ROW sounds, and maybe NSM. I am patched to 1.5. Is there a recommended install order?? And if so, why?? They shouldn't conflict with each other since they don't affect the same cfg files. Also, is there some basic rules for the order of installing mods?? Like maybe installing the ones that affect gameplay first, then eye candy?? This can be confusing. I've been researching this in my spare time for a couple a days now. I would really like to play the game! :D

That version of TM will not work with 1.5

Ducimus just released Trigger Maru Overhaul for 1.5, get that.

NSM4 will not work with 1.5

You can use Kriller2 PE stuff but I cannot say how it will work with TMO.

If there is an overwrite of the TMO scene.dat file then you are in for trouble.....

thats all I can offer at the moment.

I think the version of Tm for 1.5 includes the ROW stuff, right?

Also, doesn't the PE stuff include the ROW stuff?


Does the latest iteration of TM include the PE + ROW enhancements?

I'm confused. lol

Yea I found that out the hard way. :)

Currently the only mods I have installed now are the new TMO 1.5 and PE 1.1a which didn't overwrite any files at all from TMO 1.5. I uninstalled everything else.

I also was going to maybe try to install the new RSRDC v310 (1.5) because I checked and it doesn't overwrite the scene.dat file, however it overwrites alot of other files that were already altered by the new TMO 1.5 so I wasn't sure if I should or not.
