Question: Do I need to worry about these three “data doesn't exist!”?

Question: With these mods, can they just be enabled with JSGME and go, or, do they need tinkered with?

Question: Do I need to add another mod to complete a mod here?

Question: What is “genericPatcher”, and can I use it with a digital download?

thanks

Thanks for putting all these mods together and in order. I sold the game after it first came out. Years later modders have made it worthwhile.

Question: Do I need to worry about these three “data doesn't exist!”? => assume the answer is "no".

Question: With these mods, can they just be enabled with JSGME and go, or, do they need tinkered with? => time will tell, huh.

Question: Do I need to add another mod to complete a mod here? => thanks for your input.

Question: What is “genericPatcher”, and can I use it with a digital download? => I had read that steam users could not use this. From your reply my sh5.exe from amazon's digital download is the same as the sh5.exe from the boxed version.

thanks for clearng these up

Question: Do I need to worry about these three “data doesn't exist!”?Answer: This means the mod isn't installed correctly. Any mod need Silent Hunter 5/MODS/Modname/data. Make sure they are in the right structure and then reenable them.

Question: What is “genericPatcher”, and can I use it with a digital download? => I had read that steam users could not use this. From your reply my sh5.exe from amazon's digital download is the same as the sh5.exe from the boxed version.
Answer: Generic Patcher can be used with box version and digital download versions except steam version. You can patch the sh5.exe and some other files from the game to fix bugs and add functionality. It's a standalone program. You don't need JSGME to use it.

Echolot and I agree that most likely the file structure is wrong.
