I bought my copy online; no box, and no need for the CD/DVD. My stock folder is vanilla SHIII patched to 1.4b. I don't touch that any more; it's basically my 'safety backup'. All I did to install GWX was create a new folder alongside the SHIII one. The original folder I renamed SHIII vanilla, and the new folder GWX (C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/SHIII vanilla and C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/GWX). Then I copied the entire contents of the SHIII folder and pasted them into the empty GWX folder.
Once that copied over I installed GWX, selecting the C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/GWX path as the location of the Silent Hunter files.
Now, once you have error-free installed GWX, before doing anything else, create another new folder; mine is named GWX MP (path is C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/GWX MP). This time, copy the entire contents of the GWX folder and paste it into the new GWX MP folder. Then go get some coffee and smoke a few cigs, cuz it's gonna take a long while to copy 'em over.
I then install JSGME into the root folder of each one. Just make sure that they are set to modify the correct folders; the one in C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/GWX must only modify files in that folder, and the one in C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/GWX MP must only modify the files in that folder.
Then just copy the S-boot mod and paste it into the MOD folder in the C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/GWX MP folder. Run JSGME and install the two S-boot mods.
I find this --once done!   -- to make playing MP games very easy. It never affects my primary GWX game settings, and it also makes it impossible to accidentally screw that up. |
Okay, that explains it. I'm doing it a tad different, though, I'm not making a new folder to copy n paste the new stuff in, is that okay? I plan to have:
.../Ubisoft/SHIII stock
.../Ubisoft/SHIII GWX
.../Ubisoft/SHIII GWX MP
...is that ok?
I've got a MODS folder I got out of my old SHIII install, can I just drop that back into my GWX SP folder, JSGME em and go? And only take the S-Boot mod into the MP folder?
Once I start copy and pasting the GWX MP folder over I'm gonna go run downstairs and get something to eat...something to look forward to
