Multiple Installs

frau kaleun · 02-11-10, 06:40 PM

I bought SH3 via download, so I don't have the stock disk. I want to do multiple installs, but after the first install (which allows me to select the HD location for it), when I try to do a second install I'm not getting that option any more. I'm getting the dialogue box asking if I want to modify, repair, or remove components. If I select modify or repair, do I get the option to do a complete install in a (different) location of my choosing?

Or is there some other way to make the installer give me that option?

Okay never mind I did a search and think I found the solution, duh. Do one install and copy game files to another location, right?

Hehe, yeah I know that feeling.

Copying to another location usually works.

You know, I am learning so much stuff thru SH3. I never had multiple installs of a game before. I've never used mods with a game before. It never even occurred to me that things like mods existed.

Granted, I'm not much of a gamer, never have been. OTOH I don't think I've tried a game before that's not just "do x y and z and you get to the next level" and if you do that enough times YOU WIN! and that's all it has to offer, because if you play again it's just a rerun. (Honestly even those games, the few I have, I've never played one long enough to get to the YOU WIN! at the end.)

But this is something different entirely. Me likey.

Yeah I like the open-ended games quite a lot. And modding, of course, opens up a whole new spectrum. Rainbow Six was the game that helped me find mods, and once that happened I was totally hooked. Even tried my hand at it a couple of times, but stuff gets in the way of it.

I wish Republic could have been modded.

EDIT: Follow the white rabbit, Neo. lol

First game I played that had mods for it was SH1. Hawk's Silent Hunter Utilities...what a rush!
