I would also appreciate some help on where the folders for this bug fix have to go. I have the GWX 2.1 Minor fix's 26th April folder that contains the following folders:

data
documentation
MODS

Do I copy the GWX 2.1 Minor fix's folder and all it's contents to the MODS folder in the SH3 directory or just the fix's folder containing the data folder (presumably the documentation folder can be dispensed with) and copy the contents of the fix's MODS folder to the MODS folder in SH3 directory. It all sounds a bit confusing the way I have written it, but if someone could explain exactly what goes where that would be most appreciated.

I don't know if this is right but I separated the Minor Bug Fix Folder, the Late War Schnorchel and Sensors folder & Locks folder and placed them in the SH3 Mods. I've only activated the bug fix at the beginning of a patrol & not with the locks mod as these 2 conflict. I also replaced the GWX Late War...Sensors mod with the one that was included in BBW's April 26th Minor Bug Fix.

Hello Murr,
did exactly that, 'cause it seemed logical - but obviously wrong.
Seems no one ever installed the bugfix ? lol

yer lol

Im not installing it before there is an official bugfix for the bugfix! :lol:

Copy the extracted folder called GWX_2.1_Minor_fix's_26th_April > data/MODS/Documentation into your MODS folder and enable via JSGME.

The reason there is a MODS/Documentation folder within the archive is because when you enable the fix, these areas get updated too. So after enabling the Fix's Mod, close JSGME & Reopen, you will now see a new mod listed called GWX_2.1_Location for Holtenau and Brunsbuettal locks (aswell as an updated Late War Sensors).

That's how you enable the Fix.

As for other mods overwriting certain files. This is normal if the latest file changes have been made by an additional mod (aka not default install files). This is just JSGME's way of alerting you to the fact that files will be superceeded if you enable MOD X. If you are concerned about the files being overwitten, list the mods involved & files that JSGME says will be replaced/overwitten here.

Hello and thanks,
i have copied the extracted folder called GWX_2.1_Minor_fix's_26th_April into SHIII's MODS folder and enabled via JSGME, ok.
Closed JSGME and opened again, ok - new mods available.

When i try to enable the Holtenau mod JSGME says

"Locations.cfg" has already been altered by the "GWX 2.1 Minor fix's 26th April" mod.

So i click "ok" here, because it is an update - but then i cannot rollback that change (?)

When you disable the Holtenau mod, JSGME returns to the Locations.cfg from the original April fix. At least it should, are you saying JSGME gives you a further error?

Hello,

i just dropped the Apil thing into the mods folder.
Then enabled it with JSGME
Closed down JSGME and started it again
Still no mod enabled, but the new Holtenau one shows up
Trying to enable it it gives methe msg posted above.
I wish i were in Cornwall, was once and like it very much :D
Thanks and greetings,
Catfish

Correct!

Correct!

Also, correct. JSGME is just warning you that the mod will superceed files already active within your game. When/If you disable the Holtenau Mod via JSGME, the previous file set (aka April Fix files) will become active again.

Meh, it's alright in the summer I suppose. LOL:lol:

The mods I have activated are:

DoubleMastValues
OLC GUI 1.2.3 Core Files
OLC GUI 1.2.3 Dark Files
OLCE2 1.7
GWX - No medals on crew
GWX - Main Movie "Das Boot"
Rubinis LifeBoat&Debris_V2_A
Reeces Nav Map bearing tool

The warning I get from JSGME when I try to enable "GWX 2.1 minor Fix 26th april" is as follows:

"de_menu.txt" has already been altered by the "OLC GUI 1.2.3 Core Files" mod.
"Schute_M2.cfg" has already been altered by the "DoubleMastValues" mod.

Can you please tell me whats going on? :)

Both files that are flagged by JSGME are part of the reason BBW released the April Fix. It basically means that the files in OLC's Gui & Double Mast Values have been superceeded by the needed amendments.

Ok,

The de_menu.txt will not affect you, unless you are playing in German. You can overwrite this if you wish.

The Schute_M2.cfg file has been changed by BBW to correct the Sinking Ship Bug. To correct this conflict do the following:

Be in port before next patrol.
RollBack Commander
Disable DoubleMastValues Mod
Delete DoubleMastValues Mod
Enable the GWX April Fix's
Re-run the DoubleMastValues.exe that came with OLC's GUI.
Enable the new DoubleMastValues Mod.

OLC's DoubleMastValues application reads the cfg's from all the ships and automatically produces the DoubleMastValues Mod in JSGME, so you need to ensure you are running the tool on the most current file set, in this case after the GWX April Fix is enabled.

Hello Danlisa,
thanks for making this clear.
Germany's not better weather-wise :shifty:
:lol:

OLC GUI v1.2.3 Users:

First, disable the OLC GUI mod (both parts).
Now open MODS\OLC GUI v1.2.3 Core Files\data\Menu\en_menu.txt (or de_menu.txt if you play with German text) and find a line which says 764=Trondheim. Immediately after that line, add a new line which says 765=Königsberg. Save your changes.

Now disable the DoubledMastValues mod and delete it.
Next, enable the GWX 2.1 fixes.
Next, run the doublemasttool.exe to recreate the DoubleMastValues modlet.
Now enable OLC GUI and the DoubleMastValues mod. JSMGE will still complain about a conflict over the same files but you can safely ignore the warnings.

OLC GUI Special users:
You do not need to do anything. You can safely enable OLC GUI Special after enabling the GWX 2.1 fixes and ignore the conflict over xx_menu.txt.



BBW, if you wouldn't mind adding a link to this post on post #1?

Thanks,
OLC

Done OLC :up:

No, Thank You:up: !!! And of course bigboywooly
