Help with mod compatibility please!!

[au-boat]

I have installed the new interiors mod (I use gwx) but I cannot for the life of me get the hatch's open and unlike what I have seen in videos there are no sausages! here is the list of my current active mods in order JSGME
KB's Diesel Sound Mod - works
FM_NewInterior v2.1D - Can't tell
GWX - Main movie "Das Boot" - works
GWX - No Medals On Crew - works
GWX - Merged Campaign - works
GWX - Alternative Flotillas - works
Aces_Multimod_compatibility_fix_release_v1.3 - maybe not as new interior isn't.

Any help would be hugely appreciated! :Kaleun_Salute:

[Von Due]

I'm sorry, I don't have any complete solution but what I'd do is, start by removing 1 mod at the time and see if the game is still broken. Reinstall the mod before removing the next. With only 7 mods there, it shouldn't take too long.

[au-boat]

Thanks for replying :) Well the annoying thing about this is that the game isn't broken (as stupid as that sounds) it is just that some mods are working and others are not and i cannot put my finger fully on why :/

[Fubar2Niner]

@au-boat

Firstly I suggest you put these;

GWX - Main movie "Das Boot"
GWX - No Medals On Crew
GWX - Merged Campaign
GWX - Alternative Flotillas

At the start of your mod list. Regarding Aces compilation it needs several mods to work correctly, from the readme;

"This small mod (Aces' Multimod compatibility fix release v1.1) is a development of my recent Aces' Combined SH3.SDL Files mod and combines file entries from the following popular mods to try and achieve compatability between them.

1. Lifeboats and Debris V4 (LifeBoats&Debris_v4)
2. HanSolo's Animated Sub Pen (WAC4.1 SubPen_animated_18.02.2010)

OR

(thfue58/Rowi58/bigboywooly's New Wilhelmshaven plus locks for GWX 3 (GWX_3_Wilhemshafen,St_Naz,Schluese_and_xtra_ships _V5)

OR

Jimbuna's Wac Animated Sub Pens interior start for GWX WAC Animated Sub Pens Interior Start for GWX (WAC Animated Sub Pens Interior Start for GWX)

3. Anvart's Flag and Pennants and DF Antenna (GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010)
4. Anvart's FuMo3o (FM30_UpDown_final)
5. Flakmonkey's New Interior (FM_NewInterior_V1.0)
6. Luca's Open Hatch in Conning Tower (Conning Tower open Hatch TestFMfood)
7. Kurtz's British Asdic Mk I Final (BritishAsdicMkIFinal)
8. Nvdrifter's Depth Charge Shake (Depthcharge Shake v2.01)
9. Urfisch's ModStrike Beta1 (Urfischs_ModStrike_Beta1)
10. Rubini's and Racerboy's Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3 (Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3)
11. Hitman_Beta_GUI_GWX3_1.0

--------------------

This mod will not work on its own it requires most of the mods listed above. I have simply combined entries from these files, full credit should go to the above authors of these mods for their fantastic work and also to Brett25 whose excellent wide angle camera settings I have incorporated into this mod and to Privateer whose Turm 7b1, 7b2, 7c1 and Turm 7c8 Emblems Your Way mods which I have also incorporated along with Tarjak's excellent Historical Emblems Pack and Flakmonkey's Exterior Lightmaps for Type 7c U-boats as well as his Type 7 Twisty Periscope mod both of which are incorporated.

I have incorporated/adapted mod compatibility fixes where included by the mod author. I have tested in both single missions and campaign missions.

Note: You must have the following mods enabled GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010, FM30_UpDown_final, FM_NewInterior_V1.0, Conning Tower open Hatch TestFMfood, Depthcharge Shake v2.01, Urfischs_ModStrike_Beta1, Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3, to ensure correct operation.

Note: You do not have to have all (or any) of the following mods installed LifeBoats&Debris_v4, WAC4.1 SubPen_animated_18.02.2010, GWX_3_Wilhemshafen,St_Naz,Schluese_and_xtra_ships _V5, BritishAsdicMkIFinal, Wac Animated Sub Pens interior start for GWX. But if you have these mods then I have combined their sh3.sdl sound file entries so that they are now fully compatible..

******** --- Important : Install using JSGME AFTER you install the above mods. --- *********"

Your mod soup is very small mate so you should have no problem getting things sorted relatively quickly. Best of luck mate and let us know how it goes.

FWIW I use FM_NewInterior v2.1D and it works like a charm.

Best regards.

PS check your PM's

[au-boat]

Thanks man this has helped a lot I am a bit noobie in terms of managing mods and though a lot of what you say in your post is confusing to me, I will give it a go! :)

Edit: With the german u boats compilation (another mod I would love to get working) what order do you think I should put the mods in because I have a load of different skins and stuff downloaded (rust, u-505, u-123 etc.) Actually overall what order do you recommend I put my mods in just for them all to work? Is ace multimod fix required?

Something new I have just checked, seems that even on its own the interior mod still doesn't work. Is there to be expected or is there something wrong with the install?

[Sailor Steve]

In the SH3 game folder is the Data folder. Inside that are many folders, one of which is labeled CFG. Inside that folder is a file called Commands_eng.cfg. New mods often add to that file. Adding a new mod after the Open Hatch mod can rewrite the command so it doesn't work anymore.

First, copy the Commands_eng.cfg file and repaste it. This will create a second file with a different name, probably Commands_eng.cfg (1). If the next steps fail you can delete the original file and change the name of that one, so you still have a working copy.

Open that file and scroll down to Command 300. For Open Hatch to work it should look like this:

[Cmd300]
Name=Weapons_officer
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x48,Cs,"Shift+H"
GoBack=Weapons_officer_view

Copy and past the above into your file, replacing the old Command 300.

Now scroll down to Command 350 (or whatever Command is last for the Weapons Officer), and paste in these lines, keeping in mind that if there are less or more commands you need to change the number 350 to whatever number that last Command is:

[Cmd350]
Name=Weapons_officer_end
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x48,Cc,"Ctl+H"
GoBack=Hydrophone_view

I use several mods that require pressing different keys, and they all overwrite each other, so I keep a master copy of this file in a safe place, which I have changed all the Command lines to work the way I want. If I ever have to re-install the game I add all the mods and then re-install my 'special' Commands file to instantly have it the way I want.

[au-boat]

Sailor steve, thanks for the help but unfortunately all of these commands are correct. Could any of you give a quick installation guide on how to install these mods and what order they should be in because it is frustrating that the game isn't crashing (most of the time) or bugging out it is just not doing anything. The same with a widescreen GUI mod I used didn't do anything to the screen but didn't crash or give an error.Thanks a lot for your support guys I appreciate your help greatly! :Kaleun_Cheers:

Isint this Wolfpack 345 modlist? :D

[Delanski]

Holy hell it actually is! That guy has got me downloading more mods and trying them out.

By the way, does anyone know where to get the Torpedo_HAHD_1024_GWX? I've been looking everywhere and still can not find it.

[Fubar2Niner]

Try maiks archive, it was made by hans whitman *spelling.

Hope that helps.

@au-boat

Forgive me, and this is a long shot. When you installed just FM interiors, did your SH3 install directory look like this by any chance;

No i don't have the highlighted file :/ is that bad or correct or what? either way you got something :Kaleun_Wink:

That would be bad, indicates the mod isn't installing correctly.

No, no mate. Sorry for the confusion. If your SH3 folder looked like that the mod would not work. I posted that screenie to make sure that was not what you had. It would have explained why FM Interiors was not working.

P.S to PM someone just click there nick, a dropdown box will appear, PM will be one of the selections. :up:

@au-boat
There's only 2 things I can think of.

Try having FM_NewInteriors as the last thing on your JGSME mod list.

And secondly
This happens sometimes, I don't know why people do this but check to see if your mod file isn't organised like FM_NewInterior v2.1D>FM_NewInterior v2.1D>data

[Fubar2Niner]

That's what my screen shot was checking for @au-boat, eloquently put @Delanski :yep:

Fubar

[au-boat]

No none of that is happening unfortunately it probably isn't as obvious as that could it be something to do with what i mentioned before about no ui or widescreen patches are working either?

[Delanski]

This is probably going to sound stupid, but what U-Boat you using to test your mods? New_Interiors is limited to Type VII U-boats if I'm not mistaken.

If you are and it's still not working. I don't know what else to suggest.
For an alternative to New_Interiors, try using the U-Boats Compilation 2 (only Type VIIB & C models by WISE) which includes New_Interiors or TKSS18 German U-Boats Compilation No Eagle mod which it has it own interiors across all? Or most subs but it's slightly different from New_Interiors.

[au-boat]

I am using the steam version of the game (don't know whether that is worth mentioning) I have tried the compilation pack by wise if i enable that even on its own my game crashes :/
