How to apply mods?

Gaz360GT · 11-14-09, 01:01 PM

Hi all

I have been playing vanilla SHIII for almost a month and finally decided to take the plunge and install the infamous GWX3.0. WOW man, what a difference it makes!! Graphics are much cooler and somehow the mod makes my game run smoother on my laptop!! Thanks GWX team!
Anyway my question, How do I install further mods? I got JSGME with the GWX mod, is it a case of downloading the mod, saving it in the MODS folder (folder name of its own) in the SHIII directory and enabling it withing JSGME?
Also will I have to abandon my current GWX career for mods to take affect or will the career work with the mods?
I am looking to only download a few mods, such as Torpedo damage and life boats.

Thanks in advance,

Gaz

Seems like you've got the right idea already. Just put the mods in the right folder and use the Mod Enabler.

Also, your career will remain intact. I was 9 or 10 patrols in before I went to GWX and some other things. It won't (shouldn't) mess up your career.

You should also consider SH3 Commander, if you haven't yet.

Actually, activating a supermod mid-career could potentially corrupt/disturb some things, as GWX changes a lot of things from stock. Just a heads up.

Also, most mods come 'JSGME-ready', which means all you have to do is extract the folders, then put them into your 'MODS' folder.

Cheers guys,

I have downloaded and activated torpedo damage final and lifeboats&debris v4, tested them using the naval academy missions and they work great. Thanks to the people that developed them!
Can anyone recomend other similar mods to enhance the experience further?

Also I have already installed commander but am struggling to find it of use to me, how do you guys use it?

Thanks,

Gaz

Sh3Commander gives you the ability to create your own u-boat Kaleun from scratch, update patrol logs after you complete one, and a wide variety of other things. Go to the Sh3Commander sticky in the SH3mods workshop forum, you'll find out everything you need to know.

This isn't a mod, really, but I find loading my gramophone folder with period music really helps the mood of the whole game. It's also nice to stave off boredom when you're striking out on patrol and the TC just doesn't go high enough. There's a good selection of these tunes in the DL section.
