Which mods?

[-Dreadnought-]

So, I just registered to this site and decided to make a own topic... ;)
I have been playing SH3 for a while now with the Real U-Boat Mod. Now when the newer version of this mod has been released I wonder if it is possible to keep your old saves or if you are forced to start a new campaign? I also wonder if the old version is to be removed before installation of a newer one?
And last, is there other mods which could be useful/nice to have? I heard that the new SH3 had new hi-res textures, so I wonder if there is a free mod that includes hi-res textures?
Thank you, I hope my writing didnt confuse anyone... :oops:

If some one has similar questions, be free to ask in the same topic.

Terve! Welcome aboard.

Now when the newer version of this mod has been released I wonder if it is possible to keep your old saves or if you are forced to start a new campaign?

You can keep your old saves. Just return to port before you install the new version, do not apply the mod mid-patrol.

I also wonder if the old version is to be removed before installation of a newer one?

Yes, you should do that. Use JSGME to install and uninstall mods:

And last, is there other mods which could be useful/nice to have?

Check this page:

Look for "The Avon Lady's list of installed SH3 mods".

Also visit http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/.

And the "Silent Hunter III Community Manual" for general informations:

Ok, there seems to be several options. I think that I reinstall the game and start using the JSGME (I hope it is simple to use), because I didnt create any back-ups when I installed the first RUb version.

One more thing... Should you install the JSGME in the SH3 folder or as a stand-alone application?

[Gizzmoe]

Into the SH3 folder. Please read the included helpfile for further informations.

Ok. Thank you for your patience.

I can start thinking of getting ALL mods if I should at least get one working...
So, I tried the JSGME. I reinstalled the game, updated to 1.4b, downloaded JSGME and placed it in the Silent Hunter III-folder, ran it once so that MODS-folder was created, downloaded RuB 1.45 and unzipped it to desktop, placed it to the MODS-folder in sub-folder Real U-Boat 1.45 which I made myself, started JSGME and enbled the RuB1.45 by drawing it to "activated"-list. Then I started SH3 but the mod didnt start... :(

So veterans? I seek your council, what is wrong? Should I download earlier RuB versions first or what?

False alarm, I managed to solve the problem by unloading some folders... :know:
