unzipping GW
 

hey all, quick question. What program do you use to unzip the 6 GW mod files. Winzip doesnt seem to want to do it.

.7z file?? never heard of it.

You can unpack it with 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org) or WinRar (http://www.rarlab.com).

Hehe....Im working on trying to gew GW installed right now too. so far, ive got a head ache, and thats all....

I know how to put the CD and play...beyond that, im computer dopey. :smug:

Grey Wolves Supermod joining and installation instructions

Please read all installation instructions BEFORE INSTALLING :O)

Here is how to merge them all.
1. On your desk-top create a new folder and title it "Grey Wolves Version 1.0" or whatever you like.
2. Unzip each dowloaded portion to your desktop.
3. Navigate into each portion and copy the "data" folder into the new folder on your desk-top that you created in step one.
4. When prompted to "overwrite" the data folder on subsequent copying from each portion click "Yes"
5. When you come to the folder listed as GW Documentation and optional mods DO NOT copy to the data folder. Simply paste this NEXT TO the "data" folder in the folder you created in step one.
6. You now have a JGSME Mod Enabler compatible folder. Simply copy the entire folder that you created in step one into C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/Mods folder. (Note: if you do not have a "C:" drive use whatever drive is your usual.... for example: D:/Program Files/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/Mods folder.)
7. To install The Grey Wolves without using the JGSME Mod Enabler simply copy the "data" folders and "GW Documentation and optional mods" directly over the "data" folder in a CLEAN/NEW Installation of SH3 that has been patched to version 1.4b
The file pathway you will use is C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/data
If you have performed this correctly you will be prompted to overwrite the "data" folder that resides there.

Hey thanks. Ill give this a whirl.

I dont have a "mods" folder under sh3. not a good start. Also, i get an error message when I try to unzip.

Hehe. Keep at it, skipper...keep at it. Tenacity!

Start JSGME once, then it creates the folder.

What´s the error message?

After I right click on the file and hit extract, a window comes up saying "Diagnostics message" ...it has the path of the file im selecting. Thats it! :hmm:



Working on exactly what that means right now....

Cheers.

Are you using Winrar or 7-Zip? Try 7-Zip, just in case...

The JSGME Mod Enabler:

Ok, the instance above was occuring while attempting to unpack the file named Extend_Unified_Campaign__GW_NYGM_.7z.

however, I just succesfully unpacked GW Part1.7z.

Yes, using 7zip....

Fantastic. Getting somwhere.

Wow, three posts in a row! There is an Edit button, use it!!! ;)

Maybe the archive is broken, what´s the filesize?

Hmm. Listing as 0.


Just to be sure, I need all the files listed at this link, and they all need to be unzipped and the data folder stuck in my new greywolves mod folder. right?

First unpack and install GW Part 1-6, then the 1.1 update. The rest is optional.
