Fuel guages

[Siegeswimpel]

The 'hand' indicators on the gauges are all set vertical at the 12 o clock position
& do not move. The fuel level is constantly max.
Initially I thought I'd successfully sorted my first ever mod. The panel looks great. It slides out & disappears just fine but I've obviously still got problems. Any help or advice would be great but should be aimed at someone who is fairly clueless ie Me.
I have used timetravellers FABC slideout mod. I installed the mod, mid patrol. Could this be the problem?

NEVER install a mod mid patrol - wait till your back at base

I've re installed the game & added the fuel guage slideout mod. I've started a new career & still no joy! The guages appear & retract just great but do not give the correct indications. I've added the 1.4 patch. Please help. I really, really want this mod.

[bigboywooly]

did you add the 1.4 patch before the slideout mod?

For future reference If you uninstall sh3 again make sure you remove the ubisoft folder completely from C:\Program Files as well as the SH3 folder in C:\Documents and Settings\*your name*\My Documents ( saving any careers you have going at the time in -C:\Documents and Settings\*your name*\My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers -- do this while in port NOT mid patrol )

After you reinstall SHIII ,patch to 1.4

You can then make a copy of the Data folder to somewhere else so you always have a back up ( you can copy the whole SHIII folder if you like and have 2 different installs of the game with different mods then )
Install JSGME mod installer and activate your mods thru this - much easier to deactivate a mod if not working right this way

Dont forget to add your career back to C:\Documents and Settings\*your name*\My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers

Yep. I added the 1.4 patch before installing the mod.
Thanks for the info about saving career. I'm working my way through the Navel Academy again & it's SO tedious! I'm not in a happy place at the moment!

Maybe it's stuck. Hit it with a wrench.

Newbie here. What does "FABC" stand for?

[SquareSteelBar]

Hi sh3rules,

it stands for Fuel, [pressed] Air, Battery, CO²
