I GOT IT- BUT I NEED HELP!!

[america person]

ok, so i get it and go to install it on my mom's laptop to see if it works, and it installs fine, but says that no 3d insitalization...so i go to uninstall the game, and it says that the program uninstalled successfully, but it is still there, in the all programs list and the little shortcut icon is still in the start menu-the one that shows recently used programs.... anyone have a solution to this?
just continue posting or leave me a pm.
happy holidays!!

thanks

You've come to the right place...there are some really helpfull people around here. :D

I asked the same question (http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=423421#423421) a few weeks ago.

[Drebbel]

The SHIII MOD forum is THE place to be. I bet you get good answers in no time, but actually you already got a great answer from Paajtor

BTW: ---> MOVED

Actually, I think this is a question for the general forum.


The mod workshop is... well, a WORKSHOP... and this is not a workshop question.

Mebbe you right. I always regarded this forum as general mod forum as well.

Just think it is no good if main SHIII forum is overwhelmed by mod threads, but that is of cours just my 3ct opinion. Soon main forum will have mostly modding related questions, so it starts getting very confusing.

And this would also ean that general mod (non workshop related) Q should be moved from Mod workshp to main SHIII forum, wow, getting more complicated by the minute :D

Won't it be more simple and logical to just have all mod related threads in here ? So when you have a mod Q, there is just one place you have to go.

[Marhkimov]

I dunno. You're the modderator. ;)

[Drebbel]

Oh my, a forum member that suddenly refuses to comment or express an opinion, or does not have an opinion on my questions. What has this world come to :-?

[Marhkimov]

Gizzmoe has repetitively spanked me for expressing my opinions... I am fearful now. :D

But if you say so...


Just put all mod threads in here. Hopefully the workshop boards doesn't get too over-spammed...

Just buy Gizzmoe a beer. He is an ok dude, but to tense and waaaay to serious sometimes :lol:

[america person]

ok just saw that other link to that previous question and im still a bit confused....

sh commander, the jones thingy and rub? but do i need any prevoius verisons of rub first or can i just stick the latest in?

[Marhkimov]

Stick in the latest. It will work. Same for all the other mods.

[america person]

thnx for that bit of help markhimov, do you recommend any mods

[Marhkimov]

There's a heck of a lot of mods out there, but there's only three real mods that you need...

1) JSGME to install your mods.
2) Either RUb or IUB will do you good.
3) SH3 Commander to have an enriched career mode.

4) There are a million and one graphic mods out there. Too many to list, but many of them are great! PS - try mine. ;)

5) Anything goes. Mod to your heart's content. :yep:

[america person]

thnx for the help, um what do the graphics mods due? as it is im hoping my pc will run sh3, do the graphic mods stretch the system requirments at all if not i'll defintelty have to look into it, now off to bed, school tommorow :damn:

[Gizzmoe]

Gizzmoe has repetitively spanked me for expressing my opinions... I am fearful now. :D

*Ahem*! Don´t break the forum rules, then I don´t need to spank... ;)

By the way, this is a general mods forum, "Mods Workshop" is just a name. Neal has confirmed a while ago that this forum is the right place for any mod-related topic, be it mod announcements, technical discussions, mod support questions and so on. This doesn´t of course mean that we have to move everything, but at least we know that it isn´t the wrong place when we do.

Neal confirmed it ??? Since when do we car about that :arrgh!: if we think something else is better we just go ahead and do it. Thats what Neal would want us to do :D

[Gizzmoe]

Neal confirmed it ???

Yeah, on 3rd of September via PM. He said he would inform the other moderators.

Hi America Person, there are many mods including Hi-Res, what are your computer specs, & what is your internet connection speed?
I have over 2 gig of mods for SH3 and currently use about 70 of them. :D
Big thumbs up to the modders here! :up:

[america person]

um im not sure what my specs are, i got the pc back in october 3 years ago( freshman year of highschool-im now a junior if that helps anyone) how can i find out, i think i posted a topic months back asking about specs, and we established my pc could run the game, i just dont know how well :D

[Gizzmoe]

Start dxdiag (Start/Run/dxdiag).

Please post the following informations:
System tab: Operating System, processor and memory
Display tab: Name and Approx. Total Memory

that link might work ot ill just copy and paste from that topic...

[Gizzmoe]

We still need to know the processor type.

SH3 won´t work with your video card, it´s too old.

[america person]

damn, um can i upgrade it or something?....like off the web or do i have to buy one

[Reece]

Do a right click/properties on the screen and tell us what "display:" says, usually shows the video card. Mind you the video could be built in (part of the mobo) then you may have problems.
Also goto: Start/programs/accessories/system tools/system information - check the 'processor' line.
:sunny: Even better still, goto Device Manager and you will find the Display Adaptor & Processor. :up:
Lets hope it's up to scratch!

PS. Forgot about Ram, when system boots a box at the beginning displays the bios settings including, at the bottom, Ram size.

Failing all of this you may need to seek the help of a computer Geek. :rotfl: Just kidding! :D

[Gizzmoe]

damn, um can i upgrade it or something?....like off the web or do i have to buy one

You cannot upgrade the card, you must buy a new one. Let us know how much you are willing to spend, then we can make some good suggestions. By the way, you still haven´t posted the processor type... ;)

[america person]

um which bit is hte processor, its a dell with intel something or other if that helps, ill look into it more when i get home from school today

As I wrote, you can use dxdiag to find out the details. Please read this post again:
