Pato's bearing mod problem

[Crécy]

I replaced all the submarine files with the Pato's bearing mod and it still does not work. Apparently I also managed to destroy my career in passing when trying to get this mod working. I downloaded my career to see the nav map if the mod was installed properly and when I quitted I got error from SH3 Commander 'Invalid argument to data encode'. This mod is pretty vital since I'm mainly using dead stop plotting.

Pato's Bearing mod tool does nothing with your career profile, or has nothing to do with with what Sh3 Commander does. Iirc it's just a couple of .tga files that are to be replaced.

...I downloaded my career to see the nav map if the mod was installed properly...

That doesn't make sense. Downloading means getting files from something (like the internet) onto your harddrive or some disk. Your career files are supposed to be in your documents folder in a special SH3 folder. How that makes you see the Nav map is a mistery to me.

Please describe better how you installed the Pato's bearing mod and what you did with your career files.

I installed Pato's bearing mod like it should be installed. I've done it before and it worked fine then. Now it's not working for some reason.

By downloading career I just meant that I loaded a save game. I know that installing this mod does not affect in my career in any way. I just failed something and destroyed it accidentally in the process. Thus adding more frustration to that I can't get even the simplest mod working without problems. Without this mod I can't even play the game.

Well, which of the 3 mods (for SH3) that have the Pato grid wheels that I found in the downloads section did you use. All three have different steps to make it work.

It's also usefull information to know what operating system version you have: XP, Vista, Win7. And if the latter 2, did you install it into the default location in Program Files, or did you change the folder location?

I have Win7 and I installed it to Program Files but not to C drive which is suggested as a default. I had created program files to my other drive and I installed it there.

I use this one of the Pato's mods: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/ubb.x?a=tp...2&m=5431068603

Ok, in Program Files on a different drive should not cause problems.

The link you provided is a weird one. It doesn't help in showing exactly which file you downloaded containing this mod. It does show a post with what the mod is, but it has no download link. The link to the other pages of that thead are corrupt or just dead. I tried to find the thread again the hard way by digging back to april 10 2005 but no luck. The thread didn't exist. As I said, a weird one. I know what the mod is and does, I'm just trying to find the original file and see what instructions were given to install it, and where you may have gone wrong.
