1. Is your version of SH3 1.4 patched? to find out, start the game, and at the bottom right corner of the loading screen it should say v1.4. If not, you'll need to download that patch.
2. Did you play the game at all before trying to install GWX? GWX must be installed over a fresh 1.4 install of the game itself, or else it will have problems.
3. With JSGME you need to install one mod and try it out. You don't have to do that every time, but some mods overwrite the files created by other mods, so if you installed something after New Interiors or Open Hatch the newer mod may have shut off the open hatch functions.
4. You say you created a MODS folder within the SH3 folder. Did you install a copy of JSGME inside the game folder as well? If you did it should have created its own mods folder, and if not then the game doesn't know the activated mods are even there.
I could be wrong, but it sounds to me like you tried to do too much all at the same time. One thing at a time, please, and we will be glad to help you each step of the way. |
Thanks for your reply,
1) Yeah, Steam automatically patches all of your games when a new patch is released, im on v1.4b.
2) GWX worked and it wasn't a fresh game, I had already played it, even my careers worked.
3) Ive never used any mods for this game, Interiors was my first, JSGME made the MODS folder with the shortcut, the install directory was aimed towards at the root folder for SH3
4) Yes, it created its own mods folder and I clicked and dragged the Interiors stuff into the MODS folder then enabled it, no joy.
No im a getting this weird bug, everytime I try and play anything on SH3, Naval Acdemy, Single Mission, Career, I get a black screen, GAME PAUSED on Time Compression 0 - whut?
