Need some help installing MFM skin packs
 
Howdy everyone.

Looking to install the MFM skin packs but I think I've been having trouble. I got MFM up and running and it's great but I'm actually not sure how you install the skin pack that was made for it.

Inside the skin pack folder are many subfolders with dates and country abbreviations. Do I have to enable the specific one that corresponds to the date of my current career, or can I just enable the MFM skin pack alltogether through JSGME and would it work?

If you have to enable the pack that corresponds to your current year, do I have to disable the pack when the year has passed and enable the next one and will this cause problems?

Thanks. :Kaleun_Cheers:

MFM_v3_Skin_Packs JSGME ready.
Yes, you can activate it on a certain date. It is not necessary to disable the past date. It will be overwritten last.

So I can just enable the entire MFM_v3_skin_packs folder and dont have to worry about the subfolders at all?

No, it is not. You activate the mod when the specified date is reached. Otherwise, in 1940 you will receive skins for the end of the war.

Ahhh okay I understand. Thank you very much :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

are the skins folders placed in the SHIII MODS Folder or the MODS folder in SH3 COMMANDER. I read that :
"It's very simple actually. You just look in Commander's 'Date' folder. There are already many different functions applied there, some for date-based history updates, some for the War Radio mod that puts them in the Gramophone.

Just Change the title of each skins folder so it reads exactly like one of the folders already in 'Date', and it should install it on that date all by itself. Or you can take the Data folder of each one out and put it inside one of the folders with a date on it that's closest.

For instance, copy the Data folder inside MFM-v3-US+UK_Skins19390901 and paste in inside Commander's Date/19390901 folder. When it says there's already a Data folder and asks if you want to overwrite it, click 'Yes'."

Which is what I did, in the bold, underlined and Italic above. Justa bit confused as to the correct way. Thanx

Of course, this is ideal when you use SH3 Commander.
