Welcome aboard. You are now addicted.
1. Have a clean install of SHIII patched to 1.4. If
your SHIII is not patched to 1.4 the patch can be
obtained free from Ubi.
2. Go to a GWX 3 download site and download all the bin
files and the exe file to a location on your hard drive
(GWX 3). Once all files are downloaded execute the exe
file to install.
3. Follow the install directions. You will then have two
shortcuts on your desktop one for SHIII & one for GWX.
4. JSGM (mod loader) will be loaded with GWX already.
There will be a JSGM shortcut icon. Click on it and you
can see the additional mods alread pre loaded but not
activated. To activate click on the mod on the left
of the screenand then the move arrow to move it to the
right to activate it. You must almost be in port to
activate a mod.
5. Mods can be loaded in two ways. Manual and by JSGM.
JSGM is the best because if you have a program crash
caused by a mod you can disable the mod by reversing # 4
above. Manual takes experience and knowhow.
6. Not all mods are compatable with GWX or other mods
and some mods must be activated in a special order. I believe
that most of the mods loaded with GWX 3 are compatable.
JSGM & SHIII Commander in my oppinion are must haves.
Good hunting....
