Order of installation - Help needed

Frostyvegi · 09-23-07, 07:29 PM

Howdy everyone.

I think I've made a few problems with the installing of the different mods and things that I've got on my version of SH3. A few problems have cropped up for whatever reason, and I'm just going to start again, delete and uninstall everything and start from a fresh plate.

These are the following things I will be having, I just need to know the order of installation, patching, etc.

Items:

Silent Hunter III
Silent Hunter III Patch 1.4b
GWX 1.03
SH3 Commander 2.6
JSGME (updated to whatever version it is now..

)
Wazoo's Draggable Monograph
raduz's hydrophone sounds and custom missions
SH3Gen Campaign enhancement (version 0.7.1)
SH3 Random Weather Generator [RELEASE v1.02]
I think that is all (at the moment).

I don't currently use any other mods through JSGME that aren't already included.

Also, if I wanted to try out NYGM Tonnage War supermod, I assume I just need to follow the same installation order, changing GWX for NYGM. (From a totally fresh install or a new install in another folder).

Many thanks!

Additional: I have not yet used or installed the Random Weather Generator or Campaign enhancer, but after reading through the info on them, decided I will use them also. The major two problems I've been having is the SH3 Commander has had no effect on docking at a friendly port.. it still uses up 28 days to do a simple refueling (no damage done to my boat at all!), and custom missions crash my computer (after installing the hydrophone missions and sounds). This, I hope, will solve all these problems.

I will also be deleting all my save game folders and such, so I'm assuming before I run SH3 Commander, I need to run the normal version of the game, but I won't create a character.. I will do that through SH3 Commander.

The order you posted them in looks fine to me.

If you want docking at a friendly port to take no time, use the "days spent in base" option in SH3 Commander: set it to zero. This will affect all ports, so edit basic.cfg and go to right the bottom where it says

[SPECIAL2]; emblems
DaysSpent=0
Nb=1
Renown0=0
Name0=

and change DaysSpent=0 to DaysSpent=14

Now when you want to add 28 days after docking, just change your embelem and change it back again (right after docking).

Haha.. I didn't mean to put it into any order (although that's basically the way I thought it was supposed to go.. roughly).

That method sounds pretty good.. I might use it (if it doesn't work during the reloading of everything).

Add JSGME before GWX 1.03 then install GWX 1.03 via JSGME and recommend installing other Mods this way. Sometimes you will get a message stating the installation of the Mod can cause problems etc. would you like to proceed ? Press on as you can always disable if you get a CTD etc. It's all trial and error from then on regarding Mod compatibility but that's all part of the Modding/Experimenting thing. Kudos goes to JScones who invented JSGME and should be King of Australia for creating this in my opinion.
As for NYGM [or WAC ?], you can do multi-installs and have all 3 on your Computer ..

Ummmm,

GWX 1.03 has it's own installer which checks the validation of certain files.

It is not recommended that you do this.

There is a newer version of Sh3Gen that you should get on my site: http://www.global-explorer.de

It doesnt matter in which order you install when it comes to Sh3Gen.
