Now i have spent about 40min to look for a link that works so i can download the "JGSME" but no one link working. I have been looking in the "how to install mods" threads but that link its broken to.. why not put that program in a download thread??

Damn its hard to get stuff in this forum without asking :/\\!!

but when you do ask you get a fast response and the help you need :salute:


the creator of the program went out of buisness and shut down his software buisness website so thats why some links dont work since thats where the download was.

there are sticky threads that list the popular mods and modding tools and those links do work,.

if you ever find a bad link in a sticky thread then post there mentioning it and it will be fixed ASAP

Well then, why hasn't this problem been corrected?

I posted this same complaint almost a month ago, found HERE. I would have thought the head snake for the "Downloads" section would have bothered to pass it on by now?

The most obvious thread for a new forum member to find information is the "SH4 Popular Mods, Tools..... etc." (the very "sticky" you're referring to) needs to be corrected. Why make new players jump through hoops trying to find information and solid links?? Especially sticky links posted by the head man himself?

Nobody makes them jump through hoops. They wouldn't think to read that thread first anyway.

I put it up here at Subsim Downloads some time ago. Razark posted a link, as do I every time the question is asked.

1) Why should JSGME be listed in the SH4 Popular Mods thread? It's GENERIC, which means it's for all games, and it is in the Subsim downloads section, under Utilities, which is where it should be. That there is a thread at all should probably be something to be grateful for, but you want to keep complaining about it. Maybe we should just take it down, if you hate it so much.

2) Neal was kind enough to put up that thread at all. It's not his job to go back through it every month and update everything. Doing that for every Mods forum would be a full-time job all by itself.

3) That leaves it to me, since my title is Mods Manager. The problem is, my job is to monitor the Subsim Downloads section and keep it reasonably organized, nothing more. The sticky threads are none of my business, or my concern.

4) Even if one of us went through all the Mods sticky threads on a regular basis and managed to keep everything up-to-date, most of the people who want to know where things are would start threads like this one anyway, and you would be posting links to the sticky thread, and expecting them to read the whole thing looking for that one mod. It's much easier just to post a link to the mod itself, which is what Razark did.

You are a great modder, and a very helpful member, but I think this constant harping on something that is never going to happen - mainly because it's much easier to do it the other way - is getting old.

Or if you're really that bothered by it, why don't you post a link in the sticky thread yourself, and every time someone asks you can then point to it. No, that would be at the end and not in the first post. Neal did put a link to the front page of the downloads section. Have you PMed him to ask him to put a link in his first post?

Sailor Steve 11-17-12 12:22 PM

Now that I've had my little rant...


YOU WIN!!! :rock:

Neal and I had a nice discussion on Skype, and he's done what you asked. All the JSGME threads now have a link directly to the one here at Subsim Downloads. :sunny:

Yes, sometimes it is, and I apologize for that. This website is massive and managing it, even with the helpful members like Sailor Steve, Vendor, Webster and others, is a real handful. So, when someone like you points out a deficiency, we will fix it. Sorry about the confusion.:salute: And excuse the whiney excuses, lol, but that's pretty much how it is.:03:

Lol, well, it looks like you are spelling the mod name incorrectly, it is JSGME. When you search for JSGME, you get the mod in the fifth result. :)

Again, it's not intentional. I know for myself, I get about 40 requests for passwords, account issues, mod upload permission requests, forum errors, etc each day. So, yes, there are times when things are missed. :ping:

Steve and I have updated all the various threads where JSGME is posted in all three of the SH Mods forums, as well as the Popular Mods threads. If you see any we missed, please let me know!

And Steve and Laufen zum Ziel have their hands full too, keeping up with the Downloads section.

Armistead 11-17-12 12:58 PM

I still haven't got a response back myself from my last request, so least I know things get behind and maybe will get one soon.

It was sent August 12

" Neal, my wife wants a boob job, will subsim pay for it?"

Onkel Neal 11-17-12 01:00 PM

Oh my, anything I say here could get me in trouble :arrgh!:
