AJ! · 05-07-06, 12:08 PM

Hi all. Ive been having serious problems getting mods to work with sh3. Ive been using the JSGME mod installer as well as normal means but havnt been having any luck. any mod from real uboat mod to SH3 world has either crashed on me or stopped responding when i load up. my games up to date at v1.4 which all these mods recommend. Ive reinstalled my game 3 times and patched it up to install the mods clean but that still doesnt work. any ideas??

there is a 0 byte file, IIRC it has a .wmv extension ? Some people have trouble with this and it needs to be deleted. I do not remember where the file is located, perhaps someone else can direct you , or you can do a search for it. This is a comon problem with some mods, cjeck the FAQ section and also g o thorugh the readme files of some of the major mods, it may be explained there as well. Then again, this may not be the problem.....

Just a thought, you do have JSGME installed in the correct directory right? I understand that can cause problems if it's not installed properly.

Just my 2 cents worth....

The files are in ...\data\movies\intro and are named
intro.wmv and logo.wmv.
And i'll remember some postings from Kaleuns having problems
when these files have a size of 0. IIRC it is safe to delete the files or copy the original files back.

Did you install JSGME to the Ubisoft Folder or the SHIII Folder?

If you directed installation to the Ubisoft Folder then you will have a mess of folders and files in the Ubisoft Folder not really doing anything after you install a mod via JSGME. That is all I can think of but the game should have booted up and run ok even so....but in the unmodded version.
