Where Do I Start?

scrapser · 03-14-13, 12:34 PM

I haven't touched SH3 for 5 years. I just got a Sony GDM-FW900 monitor for my primary gaming PC which now screams for SH3 (and 4) to be played. So much has been done since I was last up to speed on things. Can someone give me the high points please?

I see several super mods. I have the final Grey Wolves but not sure what the others do or if they are meant to be used together.

Right now I have SH3 initial version installed. I have a lot of mod files from back in the day plus all the official patches. I know this is going to take some time but hoping for a little advice to start off with.

Thanks

Hi,
if you plan to switch to win7 in the future, do not forget to use the 4Gb Patch, so that you can make use of your memory. This is only used if you use a lot of mods, like graphic mods :-)
I have the same "problem" as you: i come back after some years only to find a lot of patches and the tools developed a lot.

Hi scrapser

firstly, this is the Modding section of SH3, any general enquiries about the game, or otherwise would need to be posted in here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=182

Now, as for your long 'lay-off',
i posted a thread with similar questions here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=202321&page=3
which, i posted in the wrong section like you

but, it may give you some tips and tricks.

Also look here for a 'one-stop' go to place for all important must-have installs to accompany SH3 (and GWX3): http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=202719

Hope that helps somewhat
