Newbie question

[danzig70]

I have downloaded a couple of mods to try. How do I load the mods into the game? I looked in the Options section but did not see anything. I didnt see any mention of how to load mods in the manual.

Any help is appreciated!

You need the JSGME (Jonesoft Gereric Mod Enabler). See one of the sticky threads in this forum.

You must first ensure said mods have the right file structure intended for JSGME.

What mods are they?

I have the lifeboat mod I wanted to try first. I will install the mod enabler tonite. Thanks. I saw the thread of must have mods and am excited to try them out. I am still in training exams so I have plenty of time.

Ah, okay....good luck :up:

Is it possible to have the game create a text or data file? I would like to create a file with the pertinent information when a contact report is sent and/or when a patrol report is sent. This might be accomplished through scripting. Does anyone know that scripting language? I have used Lua in the past.

The reason for this is that I want to SH3 to communicate via text files with Harpoon 3. This way, when a sub encounters a convoy, a text file is generated that is read by H3.


Also, this is from a wikipedia article on destroyer command: "One of the features was the ability to play against owners of Silent Hunter II (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Silent_Hunter_II) online, allowing both destroyer and U-Boat (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/U-Boat) commanders to square off against each other."

Can you match up Destroyer command with SH3?

Not sure about the data question but suspect it is highly unlikely.


Can you match up Destroyer command with SH3?


No, but there are mods out there that allow you to be in command of a surface unit.

How can I add new countries (china, japan) with cities/ports? I have added the Dutch ports in the East Indies but Netherlands already existed.

Thanks.

For this I think you need to edit the Mission Editor that comes with the game. Personally I have no idea how to do this, but I am sure there are people here who know this stuff.

Thanks Mel. I hope so.
