U-Boat 1.2 not installing??
 
Hi all.

I have recently downloaded and attempted to install U-Boat 1.2 via JSGME with no luck.
I installed it whilst in port as suggested. I also tried installing over a clean install patched to 1.4 then upgraded to GWX 2.0, again, to no avail.

Any ideas anybody??

P.S - The file, once downloaded appears as a 7Z file?? That doesnt seem right to me.

Might be an idea just to send a PM to JCWolf as he is the owner of the mod, if he misses this he will get your backup PM.....good luck matey.

If you still have no luck PM me and I'll jump on JCs head to wake him up :smug:

Hi,
1. Did you download it from JC Wolf's site ?
2. Did you unzip it from 7z before putting it thru JSGME.

Hi,

Yeah, I dl'd it from JC's site.
I dont get an option of unzipping the file because it comes as a 7Z file (which is an XPS file).
Im have no idea what an XPS file is, never seen one before!!

Any ideas??:hmm:

7Zip is a free file compression utility. Check it out here http://www.7-zip.org/

The Munster 01-13-08 10:23 AM

Dunno about XPS but I recommend a free utility by the name of 7 zip which will unzip U-Boat 1.2 to a folder. The folder is what you put into the MODS folder then activate thru JSGME. :up:

@HW3 Great minds think alike .. you posted as I was typing LOL

Excellent!!!

Thanks guys!!!

Got it!:up:

JCWolf 01-13-08 12:09 PM

Does it work now !???:lol:


Tell me if there are any probs !:yep: :up:

exponent8246 01-13-08 12:10 PM

Just goin through the motions now mate.

Will post soon.

exponent8246 01-13-08 12:23 PM

I'm not sure what im doing wrong but I cant get it to work.:damn:

I have unzipped it and have been presented with a manual and 3 folders.

I am going to have a good read of the manual now.:oops:

exponent8246 01-13-08 01:59 PM

To be completely honest. . . . . .

I dont know what i'm doing??

The other mods were simple.

A folder in the mods folder containing the necessary mod file.

This is a multitude of folders with various mod files??

I'm new to modding and am a little lost to be honest?

I had the same problem with racerboys SH4 effect for SH3 (with optional sounds) which I didnt end up installing because of the amount of files etc!

I need an idiots guide I guess.:oops:

In one of those folders ya should see a folder named U-Boat 1.2 For GWX 2.0 (IO)

Put that folder into the mods folder in your SHIII main folder IF you're usin' the mod enabler ... it should show up now when ya open your mod enabler ... the other mods in the other folder ya do the same way ...


Hope that helps some ...

exponent8246 01-13-08 02:27 PM

ok. will try that.

Thanks bud.:up:

Good luck mate ...
