Multiple Installations?

[DanCanovas]

can I copy the folder after installling GW mod, and then install Sh3 Commander for the offline version.

Thanks JS, it worked. Putting the space in there made the difference.

um still confused about the SH3 Commander installation, how does it know which of the installs is my offline version seen as it doesnt install to a SH3 folder?

I don't like the idea of having more then one install it just means something else will break down. But it would seem that a few of us have got this set to work so I maybe wrong.

If both your installs are named different to the usaul SilentHunterIII then Commander will ask you for the folder - point it to the offline one and it will have nothing to do with the other
IIRC

I have had up to 6 install on my comp at any one time for various reasons and mods
The only trick is remembering which career goes with which install
The easiest way i found was to add the install initails after the career name

eg Herbert Wagner GW or Wilhelm Schultz NYGM

That way I never get mixed up

The latter path needs to be the full path to the sh3.exe file.

Hi JS, It seems I downloaded version 1.1 instead of 1.1a. Where can I download version 1.1a?

Thanks Robert

MultiSH3 solves that problem. See http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=98608

ftp://gibbage.mine.nu/Silent%20Hunte...Grey%20Wolves/. Some people say the server is somewhat slow but with a download manager like GetRight you can just download it in the background and let it take as long as necessary.

What about using Wolfies Tweek Pak. How would I handle that for multiple installs?

I don't use it so I can't comment from experience, but thus far the only mod/tool I've come across thus far that needed updating to be compatible with MultiSH3 was SH3 Commander and Jaesen sorted that out with the 2.6.1 update.

You've always been able to have multiple copies of SH3 in order to have different mod combinations but until MultiSH3 you haven't been able to keep the careers separate. That's the only difference.

I keep the files separate by backing them up and the SH3 under PF\ubisoft are simply named SH3-GW etc, and when I want to to use that particular, I simply use the "l" switch in CMDR.

I keep my game files by simply moving them or renaming them to SH so that I use the correct file.
