Default Any way to quick load SH3-GWX for testing purposes?

Hi guys,

Right now I'm testing various GUI's, mods and sub-skins etc.

However, each time I load SH3 - or start a single mission it takes quite a while to load up each time (as we are all aware).

My question is, is there a mod for example that I can use that will allow SH3 GWX to load up very fast purely for testing?

I was wondering what you modders use? :hmm:

Cheers!

Activating the Black Sea campaign files in JSGME will cut down loading times.

Jap, and disable every other mod you don't need for your testing.
This should help a little.

I have been using that for a while. No wonder I never see any ships and never know where I am going. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Mush Martin had a mod for doing something like that. he was using it when he made his uber-boot mod. it eliminated the AI stuff all over the map and cut loading times in half.

the link is bad but here is the thread about it: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=103633

and if you read this you will see he retired: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=143273

maybe a polite PM might sway him to upload it for you or tell you how it was done.
