RWF and GWX conflicts
Sorry I have not posted for a few days. I have been feeling under the weather, so to speak, and haven’t felt much like posting. However, I am feeling better now, and will attempt to clear up some of these installation problems.
Unfortunately, it looks like any mod which alters any aspect of scene.dat will have a potential conflict with RWF. So far, users who have tried to use GWX 16 km atmosphere mod or the lite harbor traffic mod have had problems with RWF. I suspect there are other mods, as well.
My first suggestion is to make sure you have downloaded RWF 2.0, which uses dynamic search and replace rather than static replacement of hex values. After you run RWF.exe, make sure that RWF is added to SH3 last using JGSME. If you later wish to add a different mod which alters scene.dat, I would first remove RWF using JGSME, add the new mod, then add RWF using JGSME again. As always, be sure to roll back SH3 Commander first.
If the above suggestion does not work correctly, try either of the following solutions, offered by Stiebler and Choronzon, respectively: With the first method, you will have only one version of each mod. The second version gives you two versions of each mod: an original and one with RWF.
Stiebler method: First, if you have not already done so, run RealWeatherFix2.exe as described in the readme. Second, place a copy of RealWeatherFix2.exe into the data folder of every mod that alters scene.dat. Third, run RealWeatherFix2.exe again from inside the data folder of each mod. Fourth, clean up the extra files, and install the mod using JSGME in the usual way.
Choronzon method: create a separate JGSME mod folder for each mod that alters scene.dat (GWX 16 km atmosphere, lite harbor mod, etc.) Name this folder “RWF 16 km mod” or something similar. Copy the folders and files from the original mod, including the scene.dat file, into this new folder. Copy RealWeatherFix2.exe into the data folder of the mod and run the program. Clean up files. Install the new mod containing RWF using JGSME whenever you wish to play the game.
