Dual installs and the campaign files...

[Sgt Swanson]

I know how to do a dual or multi install, but what about the saved campaign files in your "My Documents" folder?

I want to run both supermods (one on each install) and sign up for WaW II, but don't want to loose my TGW campaign files or the other ones. I was hoping someone would have answered this in my other post, but no one did.

MultiSH3 lets you have separate careers for multiple installations. See http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=98608

I have 4 different SH3 installs and use a separate SH3Commander for each one...that way there is little chance of mixing the saves up ie: give each campaign a prefix such as 'GW Hans Wittman' or 'HT Hans Wittman'

Thanks guys. I can work on it tonight, so I can sign up for WaW.

BTW I found my Grandfather's Cousin's boat.

Ok, since I'm going to have 2 installs of SH3, this means I need 2 installs of Commander as well?

Yes you will. If you d/l MultiSh3, all the instructions for a multi-installation are in the readme. Potoroo has given the link above.

Not necessarily. It is possible to use the same installation of SH3 Commander but with multiple shortcuts, each with the target modified by the /l switch. However, in cases where you need to preserve quite different cfg values, as in say with a 1.4b installation and NYGM, it is preferable to have multiple independent installations of SH3 Commander.
