RUB 1.45 problems

[magwr]

Hi,

Having just found the mods for SH3 have been installing various ones.

I have the latest generic mod enabler and have tried via this to enable the RUB 1.45 mod.

i get the initial SH3 screen with under it RUB 1.45 the bar loads to the end and then i get a small message box with:

'menu ID not found: 0x1a000008!'

displayed and when i close that the games closes.

The game runs all OK when i don't had the RUB enabled.

I have tried to find this menu thing but no luck.

Can anyone suggest how i can get the RUB mod to run please.

Thanks

Nigel

You have a problem with your ubisoft\ShilentHunterIII\menu\
menu 1064_768 file. This is a hard problem to fix as some other mod has this file (?HarborTraffic??) and these files are in conflict.

Do you have anyother mods installed...I found the only way to not have any problems was to install RUB 1st..then other mods on top. Also do you have the official 1.4 patch installed?? Also I use only Jones Mod enabler and swear by it!!!!

I would suggest a TOTAL uninstall then load:

1. SH3

2. Official Patch

3. Jones Mod enabler (use this one its the best)

4. Then add mods into the mod enabler (if you need help on this ask and I will assist)

Hi all,

I've got the Das Boot officer picture module, Das Boot music, and the 400m depth gauge loaded, plus i use SH3 commander to start my careers from.

If i do the clean load idea how do i add the other mods to the mod enabler, such as the nice ones such as 400m depth gauge, wolfies pack etc?

If i do an uninstall will this delete my careers?

Thanks for all the info it helps when you can understand where the conflist issue occurs.

hi,

Uninstalled SH3

re-installed it

applied patch 1.4

put the RUB mod 1.45 on via the mod enabler.

No problems running the game.


BUT i then tried using SH3 commander, selected one of my careers , loaded it [from Commander], intially all ok, loaded my saved file for that career, game loaded right up to the initialising and then crashed!!!!

Does this mean that i can't use sh3 commander if i have RUB 1.45 enabled?

As i love sh3 commander & would like to get it to work with the RUB.

any suggestions, please.

Nigel :(

It is always very risky to make changes to SH3 (including adding mods) while at sea - that is, to a game saved at sea.

SH3 Commander and RUb 1.45 work fine together if you apply the Commander only at base. I doubt if you will be able to recover any lost save-at-sea, though. Restart from your last base.

Saved careers will also not work if they were created without RUb 1.45 installed. But that has nothing to do with SH3 Commander.

Ahh, i see well i've trashed all my old careers that were done pre RUB 1.45 and the new career works fine. Must say RUB is impressive. Thanks

Vonotto,

how do i add the other mods so that i can load them from the mod enabler, please. Some mods i've found automatically get listed like flotilla 1.44, but ones like the Das Boot pictures, 400m depth guage don't. Are there any that are not a good idea to use with RUB?

Thanks for any help re: this

Make sure you are using the Mod Enabler, JCGME. You can find a link to it in the sticky threads here. This program is fantastic and simple to use.

When you enable a mod via JSGME you will be notified of an overwrite .... ie: you install RuB 1.45 then you go to install Harbor Traffic 1.47 .... you will be notified what files HT will overwrite from RuB. Knowing that HT is an add on and designed to augment Rub, you can go ahead and install it. It gets tricky when you start adding additional mods that you have not read up on. Some will work well, some will break other mods you have installed.

Best rule of thumb I know is to do your research on these forums before you install additional mods. Read the threads and I can guarantee you you will see someone has posted, "Will this work with RuB or IUB?"

Mods I would seriously recommend in addition to Rub are:
HT 1.47
Integrated Orders for HT 1.47 (Rub)
NYGM RuB Campaign Fix for Rub
NYGM Crew Management 1.1
NYGM Air Beta and Ship Sinking Mod
I may spell this wrong but Brouderin 1.0 (really really nice total graphics overhaul for all boats)

Remember with Sub Commander to Roll Back anytime you make a change when you are at port. Never make changes when you are at sea.

Hope this helps.

for what it is worth ... there are some really good mods on the horizon for SH III. Wispers, Hints, nothing in great detail but I would expect a complete new Supermod from the NYGM grp ... and if their beta mods are any indication ... this game will finally be played the way it should have been deisgned to ;)

Do a search for NYGM and read the threads on those mods.

hi,

Thanks for the info.

have waded through some threads and got the following now:

HT 1.47
Integrated Orders for HT 1.47 (Rub)
NYGM Crew Management 1.1
NYGM Air Beta and Ship Sinking Mod
Bordininstumente 1.0

The bordin one really makes the dials etc mega neat. Yet to see how the crew management one effects my crew. Loaded all of these via the mod enabler with no problems.

Haven't found the NYGM RuB Campaign Fix for Rub yet

Finding the NYGM stuff is hard on the old eyes, do these guys have a site of their own?

thanks for the help
