steam update..

[mwigg3]

Hello!

I have silent hunter 3 with gwx gold.
Had a long career now and things are getting heated up, but of course steam had an update that got over my head and made my mods disappear.

yes I know I should moved my game away from the steamfolder, but now when the damage is done, is there a way to get the mods back without delete everything and destroy my career?

In steam library.... in \common folder... keep your initial SH copy virgin... do NOT mod. That, will be your "Gold" standard, go to copy to use to cull from.

From that install, copy the guts of the game... after 1st initial run through... for it to to finalize installation.... then...

drop that, into a folder created in \common named "SH-megamods""megamod name here" (minus the quote marks.)

Example :

\Common\SH-megamods\SH3\GWX(or NYGM... or CCoM, or whatever other megamod you're going to roll with, here) then drop that copy of the "Gold" standard copy (in \common) into this folder... making sure to also drop in there, a copy of jsgme & multish3 so as to make a complete, separate games save folder... away from the initial SH3 save folder. (This method, also works with SH4, as well...)



From there, just follow the set up methodology as instructed based on the mod set you want to roll with, from there.

Have used this outlined method, & successfully, to date... on SH4... & have 9... SH4 set ups... & I use Steam, as My source for SH3, 4 & 5... would say, 11... but... am still working on 2... still, with FotRS's latest updated version, to date.

I have 4 SH3 copies, to date with a 5th being worked up on, that I haven't finished with... yet.

Hope this info helps...
