NYGM question

[John Pancoast]

New to SH3. Is there a way to visually tell if this mod is installed ? I.e,. splash screen, etc. ?
I followed the instructions and used JSGME, it says it's activated, but starting the game, nothing is visually different anywhere.

[bstanko6]

Did you install all parts? There are like five files that need to activated in nygm. In the one I have there is a startup black and white picture of a tanker with black smoke, sinking after a torpedo strike.

I installed the first three parts from here, https://www.mediafire.com/folder/f21lgiw0v0buw/NYGM_-_Not_Your_GrandMother%27s, that are marked essential. Rest are marked optional. Strange too, when I tried to install parts 2 and 3, JSGME gave me an warning message about how installing them may cause problems with the game.
So I said no. Tried it again and said yes, game ran fine but no nygm.
I must be doing something wrong with JSGME even though it says the mods are activated.

[Obltn Strand]

How about jsgme installation? Did you installed it into same folder as your sh3 game?

Yes. I noticed though that the data and documentation folders from the mod is put under the JSGME folder when activated, instead of into the SH3 folder, for some reason.

If I drag/dropped the mod data and doc folders into the SH3 folder, I then get the NYGM mod installed correctly, but can't seem to make it work with JSGME.

[Obltn Strand]

First time you activate jsgme it asks permission to create MODS folder into your sh3 folder. Has this happened?

If so copy your mod folders to recently created MODS folder and activate them by jsgme.

Also make sure you don't have any additional folders in your mods. Otherwise they won't work. Extra folders are sometimes created when unpacking...

Hope can help you

It is normal to get warnings for the NYGM installation to appear. In most cases for most mods you will get this because you are adding a layer, over a layer, over more layers... so you get that message. Also, when you finish getting NYGM set up, be sure to explore all files inside the NYGM mod... there are other Easter egg mods like bearing tools, harbor traffic and such.

[John Pancoast]

Thank you all for the excellent help. Ended up just doing a re-install of everything, and now JSGME works as it should. Not quite sure why/what is different, but it does.
Did all this before the last couple posts on this thread, but many thanks !

Couple NYGM questions:

1. Starting a patrol, single mission, etc., there is no weapons officer assigned to the command. I assume this is correct ?

2. The various officer spot graphics are now colored blocks with the officer title. I.e., no photos. Is this correct ? Fine with me, just want to make sure I didn't screw something up.

Since the creation dates are different, I was hoping that was the answer, thanks !

Yes, I noticed those other mods; I assume I have to drag/drop those to enable them ?

If you want a really gritty, realistic encounter minus the fluff of harbour planes and traffic, I suggest NYGM. Truly a challenge. If you combine this with 100% realism, it doesn't get better! For those looking for serious immersion.

Thanks, yes, I still love/play AOD, so graphics aren't my priority, ha ! I have NYGM installed, have to check out some of the other above listed mods.

[bstanko6]

Do yourself a favor, don’t activate all of these mods at first. Play NYGM by itself for a mission or two, and then add a few mods at a time. If you just start adding mods on top of mods you won’t know what you like or what effect this will take place that you may not appreciate. Start slow. Some of the mods I have listed I customized and placed in so they would be out of place to most people. So don’t depend on my list to set you up. But most of these mods are very good very stable and you will like. Good luck.

Planning on exactly that, thanks again !

I did a lot of sound engineering you will not see in my soup. My goal was to get the grittiest feel possible, paying attention to AI reactions and such. If you want fluff... I suggest you go get a unicorn puking cotton candy... but if you want a game that punishes mistakes dearly.... mwahahaha!!!! My mod soup is what you want!

Don’t forget the h.sie patch!

When I try many of those mods, they conflict with NYGM ones or at least want to overwrite what NYGM did to some files. So I don't bother with those types of mods.
How did you get around that ?

[bstanko6]

They are suppose to overwrite... in the manual for NYGM it states to allow the mods through.

All non NYGM mods will alert as well. Allow them.

[bstanko6]

The only modnon the list I have that is out of place is the Steibler patch. I had to reconfigure a few things to make it work. If you use it, don’t place it where I did.

[John Pancoast]

Yeah, I know the NYGM work is supposed to overwrite itself. I was meaning the non-NYGM stuff.
You're allowing that to overwrite the NYGM stuff too ? That's what I've seen with some of the mods in your list; they are non-NYGM mods that want to overwrite the NYGM ones, which I don't want to do myself.

[bstanko6]

I have never had a problem with them. Try it and have fun.

These are excellent btw, many thanks !

If you do not allow a mod - any mod - to overwrite files, it will not function as it's developer intended. Either trust the mods you install and let them overwrite, or don't bother with them.

It is possible to tweak mods and merge files so that inherently incompatible mods will work together. But that requires some knowledge of modding and the mechanics of the mods you try to merge. If in doubt, don't activate it.

[bstanko6]

Well put BigWalleye!

Like I said, aside from the steibler, this mod soup is good. In fact, I can’t wait to hear how you like it!

Yeah, some mess with Hitman's Optics which I use and don't want to change, and I also don't install any non-NYGM mod that overwrites any NYGM files.
No big deal; I like to keep it simple anyway. To each his own.

[John Pancoast]

bstanko6; stumbled upon your videos. Outstanding !

[bstanko6]

Thank you. Hope they help!

I'd like to recommend FM_Interiors v2.1D. After you install this and your rig can handle it you can declare zentrale as your new home. Perhaps even notifying authorities of your new address :O:

Yeah, they're nice but they mess up the Hitman's Optics 3.6 I'm using so have to pass myself.
