Hello, Thanks and Help!

First, let me say, Thank you! It never ceases to amaze me 'how' you guys are able to do what you do, viz., taking fair-average games and making them good-great games. I can drag/cut/paste a folder here and there, however, coding, modding, etc. boggles my Packard Bell 386 (first computer) mind. I realize much work goes into this oft-thankless endeavor and I do not want to be a bother with too many questions.

I am proud to support, albeit in a small way (times are tough) the dedication of the Subsim. Having been to many such forums I can say that there seems to be an air of professional courtesy on this site.

Second, please note that my version of SH 5 is from Steam and, having read through Sober's post here (I have read documentation and have spent three days, off and on, with this project so as not to waste your time): http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=192374 and I know there may be an issue or two with the modding. That being said, I can say that having followed the order of activation/enabling (JSGME) at the above link I am still running into a CTD here and there and a few questions.

For instance:
The IRAI from TDW that Sober lists is 0_0_41, however the link given is to 0_0_39 and it is given twice in the sequence....does this matter? Also, I am unable to plot courses in the Campaign as my boat does not appear.

So, I have questions like these and rather than go into them in detail I would first, as I believe good manners dictate, request permission for assistance and then engage in direct communication. Again, I do not want to waste anyone's time, however, I really have spent hours downloading, inputting and enabling mods in an effort to get this working. So far, before my last CTD when I clicked on 'Captains Log' I LIKE what I see. In fact, I have acquired enough of a taste for Sober's Mega Mod to be impelled to see this thing through to a complete, stable game.

Thank you much, in advance, for your patience and assistance.

Cheers,
Mike
