Reposted this so everyone sees it, may get more help this way.

Trouble with S3D.Created a subfolder for a torpedo mod in SH 4 mods folder named "torpedo_changes" created subfolders in there data/libary and pasted the UStorpedo files from TMO in there.Opened the USTorpedo.sim file, made changes with S3D and tried to save the changes so could enable mod via jsgme, gave a message saying "access denied" and wouldnt let me save.What am I doing wrong?

don't know, it should save.. you opened the sim file in that directory right ?

I mean open with explorer, go to the file, double clik on it, make changes, then the save icon should be bold, then save

Not sure if this is your problem, I can't make that up out of your description, but if your game is installed in Program Files, and you have Vista or Windows 7, S3D must be run as administrator. But I don't think that is your problem, because I guess the virtualization feature would prevent errors such as those... (not that this is a good thing :down:)

Try to use the mod creation feature in S3D "File > Save in mod". Pick an existing mod, or try to create a new mod. S3D will create the needed directory structure...
