Thomsens Sound Pack and GWX 3.0

harryt8 · 03-11-09, 02:56 AM

When I load Thomsen's Sound Pack V3 including the updates 3.1 & 3.2 via JSGME for use in GWX 3.0, JSGME states that some items have already been written in or included in other Mods or GWX.

It states "Enabling this mod *may* have adverse effects on your game."

Any advice please?

Thanks.

Harry

JSGME is actually good in that regard. Otherwise we would just install stuff and then wonder why the game suddenly doesn't work anymore. Which specific mod are you getting the notice from?

I ask because mods will change the same files, but sometimes they change them in the same way, which is okay. A good example of this is the original Kiel Canal mods, with the locks for each end being released separately. They used the same graphics for the items in the mod, and JSGME was kind enough to ask. So the ones you're using might be okay. Need to know first though.

Thank you for this further information.
I have taken note of Phoenix 1957's info.
Thomsens Sound Pack worked with GWX 2.1 without problems. No getting stuck on German lingo or text.
I simply wanted to avoid any potential problems with GWX 3.0.

JSGME gives the following warnings when trying to activate the mod:

"Commands en.cfg" has already been altered by OLC Special GUI
"en_menu.txt" has already been altered by OLC Special GUI
"Sonar.wav" has already been altered by "Sonar Sounds" Mod
"Sonar_coat" has already been altered by "Sonar Sounds" Mod
"Sonar_Coat_imp_wav has already been altered by "Sonar Sounds" Mod
"Sub surfacing. wav" has already been altered by "Improved surfacing" Mod
"Ram_K-new message received.ogg" has been altered Radio Msg Morse Code
"Ram-P_new message received.ogg" ----- " --------
"Ram_S_new message received.ogg" ----- " --------

I'm quite happy to install the Sound Pack, as Thomsen's mod was good background stuff on GWX 2.1.
Am I correct to assess he no longer participates in this forum?

Your advice requested.

Thanks.

Harry

The great thing about jsgme is that you can enable the mod, and then if it causes problems, take it out again without upsetting the other settings, so just try it and see (with no other new mods) so that you can see the effects of the mod alone.

Thomsen has left for a trip around the world, and may come back at some time, but not sure.

I actually like the controls in German. More immersion. My ship guide is now in German also.

If you want the sounds but not the German text, easy way is to first copy your sound folder to a different location as a back up. Then after unzipping Thomsen's sound mod, just drag his sound folder into your SH3 folder and let it over write the files. That way you have the new sounds without the German text and if you want to go back just use your backup folder you copied.
