Computer Crash

johnlax · 11-23-06, 09:48 PM

Guys about six months ago I suffered a computer crash. I had to do a total system re-install. At that time I had SH III with Commander ed. 2.3 which I liked. Can someone direct me home if I attempt to re-install SH III. I have orginial disk. Does offical patch 1.4 cover all previous patches? Also if I want to go back to Commander I think they are now at version 2.6. Can I do this once I do a reinstall with offical patches? I really want re-supply at sea as an option. What configuration should I line-up with? Will Commander do that alone or what else will I need? Thanks for your help as I would love to get into to this baby but I am not a big mod guy so be patient with me!!! If I have to I will wait till SH IV but would like to live this one

Hi mate!

No probs, just install vanilla SH3, then install the 1.4 patch (its all in there). Then install SH3 commander. you should also get the JSGME (jonesoft generic mod enabler), a nice little program that keeps your downloads in order. Then: The Grey Wolves mod (or the NYGM). Take a trip over to terrapin at UBRS, he has every download you could possible dream of! Just ask if you still wondering about something! :-)

Hi you could try Jaesens website: http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/
And some further advise, I recommend Norton Ghost for backing up your system!

Hey ... Stop posting at the same time as me Seth!!:rotfl:

Damn good to have you back with us Seth! No foolish acts of communism this time around! OK?

To answer the questions. Install SH3, download the 1.4b patch (make sure you have the right vesion, the installer will say 1.3, but in fact it's 1.4b). Download GW, play till Christmas. Repeat the above rule, just install GWX this time around!

Have fun!

Thank you for your kind suggestions about installing SH III and patches. I understand that Do I need commander 2.6 if I go with GW ??? Will it work with both??? Do I inflict any harm with Commander 2.6
Thanks
