New Player; a few questions (Mainly GWX and h.sie's Hardcode Fixes)

Theodulus · 06-25-14, 12:59 AM

So I picked up SHIII from the Steam Summer Sale, and while I've been thoroughly enjoying the game and what the GWX mod adds alone, I have a few questions about mods and the modding process for SHIII. I've already been poking around in the forums for a few days now, but hopefully someone can help me with questions I wasn't able to find answers to.

Or just call me an idiot and direct me to where I need to go.

So 1) EDIT: Figured this out on my own. Silly me.

And 2) Mod Order. Is there a guide or good rule of thumb to use when determining the order of mods in JSGME? Right now I'm assuming it's a lot like Bethesda games, where mods lower in the list overwrite data from competing mods higher up. Now, JSGME gives me a warning when two mods edit the same file. Do mods completely replace the file or just append the file in a practical way?

Complete replace of the file, they just get overwritten.

Welcome to subsim btw.

Thanks a lot! This much will at least let me make educated guesses.

THEODULUS!

Check the readme of the mods, some are designed to work with other mods, so the overwriting in those cases is expected and ok.

BTW: Welcome Aboard!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I've managed to work out most of the weird quirks and the game is running pretty darn solid
