The main SH5 game folder is not the one in my documents.
The one in my documents is your save game folder.

Download 7zip
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
and extract the mod enabler to your main SH5 game folder .

Do not extract the mods directly into the mod enabler , instead extract them to a safe place such as my documents . Then look at the mods and move the folder directly before the data folder to your mod enabler folder in your main sh5 game folder .

Some people are purely visual learners. Nothing they can do about it :yep:

Because this game caters for a wide age range particularly middle age and up , pictures are the best way to go :O:

Well Sober, this "retard":D appreciates this. Thankyou.

[Cpt. Grouch]

Wait wait wait I don't understand any of this.

You're going to have to explain it again.

This time with audio.




Just kidding. :O:

On a side note, do I need to have JSGME running all the time while SH5 is running? I've always activated it and left it running in the background before I load up the actual SH5 client. Am I doin it right?

[Sailor Steve]

No. JSGME installs the mods. After that you don't need it running.

[chrysanthos]

i have try with silent hunter 4 playble ships but nothing yet:/

Some people asking for this so i bump to the top .

[Feuer Frei!]

shouldn't/couldn't/wasn't this be a sticky?

[thefarside]

It seems all download links for JSGME are dead. Are you people using something else, now? I can't seem to find an up-to-date guide on how to use mods for SH5.

[THE_MASK]

just google jsgme and you will get the site where you can download .

[naval_noob]

Confirming that this got unstickied.

[Cold_Gambler]

Very helpful... my stupidity cannot be underestimated, the pretty pictures were essential for me :)

Is it normal that TDW's MO goes grey after application of the MO patch (in the list of active mods in JSGME)?

Greyed out mods in the list means a mod installed after that one is also modifying some of the same files, it prevents you from uninstalling stuff in the wrong order. Nothing to worry about :)

[Cold_Gambler]

Thanks for all your help Orpheus :)

Some people are purely visual learners. Nothing they can do about it :yep:



So true! And I'm one of them. Visually seeing how somethingis done helps the most. Sure I read the instruction but with the way TDW's UI's are installed... seeing Sh5 mod intalls are different than SH3... A visual guide for how, where things go, and what do do helps so much more if you can actually see the process. Up to now I've been completely lost on installing TDW's mods. Now it's quite a bit easier after seeing Stoianm's YouTube tutorial. :yeah:

My thanks to him. :salute:

[sTrYcHnInE]

PLEASE HELP ME! I need heeelp!

I've downloaded Yamato mod from this forum. I've also downloaded JSGME (new version) I've made a new map in Silent Hunter 4 folder called "Mod" and then I put the JSGME program there. When I run my JSGME I can find Yamato mode, I click "activate" and then it says its activated. But when I run my game, I don't find this mode anywhere? Probably I've done something wrong, but I don't know what! Please help me! :P FAST

Im not so active on this forum, so if u ppl can help me e-mail me at: tomppa__92@hotmail.com Would be great :) Yamato mod looks so badass.

[Blazikan999]

Basically: copy JSGME.exe to your SH5 install dir. Run it, accept the proposal to create a new dir, close JSGME.

Copy unpacked mods to your SH5\MODS dir, and run JSGME again. It will now show you your mods. Click on them and click on the arrow pointing towards the currently empty list. If you follow someones list, ignore messages about stuff being overwritten.

Start game.
