Well I figured out how to install commander:know:Wasn't to sure about the conf. files,dragged it over to 7zip and double clicked and it installed.Is that what I need to do with the other mods?Game seems to be running fine.I was thinking of running the lifeboats and debris mod.

Lifeboats & Debris works fine with GWX. Here are some others that do as well.

Thank you sir,just read it.Am I correct with putting the downloaded mods in 7zip and double clicking like I did with Commander?Really not sure how to add these other mods.

Use JSGME. You unzip the mods and put it into JSGME's MODS folder, then you can transfer them from Inactive to Active at will. It makes life a whole lot easier.

Excellent thank you,I sure am learning a lot here.I have the jsgme since it came with GWX.I'm glad I didn't have to start my career over too.Took a look at the mission editor,but still need to learn how to use that.I'll be back with more Q's I'm sure.Thanks again.

The version that comes with GWX is good, but it is an older version. The link I gave is to the newest version.

Oh O.K.,boy with all the mods and supermods I can play this for the next 5-10 years:o no wonder it's still popular.If any of the modders see this THANK YOU TOO,I don't have a clue how you do it,but I'll enjoy it.

With commander I just restarted April 1941 since that is where I left off.I am not playing 100% realism since I wouldn't get very far,or get frustrated.I enjoy the game just the same.Still a lot to learn and a long way to go.Been reading about the Donitz elite flotilla?That sounds pretty neat.hopefully one day I can help others too.

Time to turn the game back on:cool:
Thanks Sailor Steve.

Glad I could help. If it means anything, after eight years I still don't play at 100% either. I have no head for advanced math, and I can't do torpedo calculations to save my life. I do play seriously though, staying at my assigned grid for the entire patrol. Most people find that boring, but I find it gives me realistic tonnage scores. I've gone whole patrols without ever seeing a single enemy ship. Then again I've been playing subsims since I played Silent Service on my Atari 520ST back in 1987.

It's all fun.

Yes it's fun.Never even had a computer until about 2 years ago:oops:

Steve, allow me to second that. It's all about having fun. To borrow a quote from someone in another hobby (responding to a volley of imperatives leveled at a newbie by a bunch of hard-core Grognards):

"If you're having fun, you're doing it right. And if you're not having fun, no matter how you're doing it, that's not the right way for you."
