I'm pretty puzzled by all the trouble you had to go the GW 1.0 --> 1.1 route.
I do wonder, though, if after uninstalling all the previous stuff (strip out using JSGME) if it would have helped to just blank out your SH3 install folder ... and copy a fresh SH3 version in there. This of course would depend on having a blank, fresh copy of SH3 v1.0 (before the 1.4b patch).
I keep a copy of the virgin SH3 1.0 from the day I first installed it, and even before I ever ran the program. This has saved me a number of occasions. I just blank out my SH3 installation folder, and then copy back in those First Day files, and I have been fortunate to have zero frustrations.
i'm keeping an eye on GW1.1 and am thinking like you, to try JUST GW1.1 . I want to give them a month or so though to work out kinks.
Of course, now you have me wondering whether there is some sort of armed trawler flaw with my GW1.0 + NYGM + EUC install?

It doesn't take all that long to uninstall,clean up and reinstall SHIII so I don't bother keeping a copy like you suggested....and with all the practice I had yesterday I can do it in record time now.
For the life of me I don't have a clue as to what was happening yesterday. If I had not done it several times before I would have just chalked it up to my being a dumbass.
It was like some gadabout vagrant gremlin was inside my system screwing with me and decided to leave.
Like you doubtlessly read above the trawler fix was included in the 1.1 version so you are good to go there.
So...how do you like the GW/NYGM/Unfied combo? I posted above my thoughts on it. I was ok with the loners but the convoy action became another story. I haven't had a chance at a convoy yet with the GW mod alone....maybe tomorrow
I almost forgot this trick from the early days of SHIII so I'll do it now with an edit into this post:
We were talking about doing the academy traing in a thread a couple of days ago. I had forgotten about this since it had been so long.
You don't really need to go through the training to get the academy bonus credit....500 tons or 1500 renown points.
All you need to do is look in the My Documets SHIII folder for the TXT file labeled "academy."
Delete the text and copy and paste in it with:
