The YouTube series of Wolfpack345 was rather fun to watch, so i decided to copy his modlist, either his U-105 type IX Career or the more recent Type XXI Career.
I got the game in the U-Play version, for it seemed that steam would only lead to more problems. Yet i still got stuck rather fast and would realy appreciate some help - so thanks in advance for anything usefull i get.
------------------------
For starters i tried following this guide

(Hope linking this is okay)
while ignoring the steam specific stuff and getting started on JSGME, Commander and Front End. All of that stuff seemed to work great and without much problems.
Next came GWX - and it pretty much already stopped at that point. I think i installed it correctly -> i created a copy through Front End of the Vanilla Version of SH3 with no mods installed or activated and ran the GWX installer over it. JSGME does show me the optional mods for GWX in that installtion, but whenever i start it - with deactivated optional mods or activated - it simply starts the vanilla version of the game. And i can't realy explain why that is.
So if anybody could help me, that would be great.
If anybody could maybe give me or link me to a somewhat comprehensible guide, in which at least similar mods are used like the ones i want to use, that would be beyond fantastic. |
Being new to adding mods, I'd be careful about copying Wolfpack345's list. He's been at it awhile and some of his mods require some experience to make them work without problems.
I'm not familiar with the Uplay version of SH3. What is your game install path ? If it is in "program files" etc. that is the problem. Hopefully someone who is experienced with Uplay will join in.
But in general, all that needs to be done is install the 1.4b version of the game NOT to the "Program files" path, (make a separate install folder on your hard drive, i.e., C:\SH3) then run the GWX installer.exe pointed to your game install path and it will then run as GWX.
