GWX 2.1 Help Info Missing

Commander Gizmo · 10-20-08, 01:07 AM

[This problem is sorted. See post #13 for solution]

Well, it's happened again. After rebuilding my PC with a new SSD (WOW GWX loads fast now!), I have set about the arduous task of setting up and configuring my SH3+GWX+Mods install. Ten hours (or something like that) later, I have fired it up and got it running again.

First, a huge thanks to all the great posters around here that have provided me with so much helpful knowledge and awesome mods. Now, on to the problem: I've screwed up part of my GWX install, and a reinstall doesn't fix it.

The details:
My problem is that pressing F1 brings up a help screen with the usual pages, but all but the first two are blank! I know I screwed it up with my mod selection, some of them custom. So, here are my installed mods:

GWX - English Nav Map and Grid Refs
GWX - Captain America's Officer Icons
GWX - Integrated Orders
Gramophone Music (Atmospheric)
Gramophone Music (Instrumental)
Gramophone Music (News)
Gramophone Music (Songs)
OLCE2
OLCE2 Adjusted GWX 2.1 Crew Skins
OLCE2 Adjusted GWX 2.1 Enhanced Damage Effects
OLCE2 Fixed GWX 2.1 Ship ReflectionsLifeBoats&Debris_v3B (Boyancy Update)
Interior Diving Angles
Hurricane
Torpedo damage Final ver2.0
GWX - Map Contact Trails
Event Camera Border Dimmer
Enable Original UMark
Gizmo's Keymapping
SH3 Commander 3.1.3

So the question is, which one has screwed up my help tabs? I would greatly appreciate it if someone would upload me an original GWX 2.1 help file, though I would still like to know which mod could have messed it up so that I can fix it quickly the for the next time. I am organizing my mods so that I can just copy them and activate them next time and not have this long setup process.

Thanks for the help, especially the nHancer tips!

SH3CMDR is not a mod and should not be activated via JSGME. In the future, I suggest you load a fresh install of SHIII GWX3.0 gold on a disc or elsewhere on your hard drive so you will have all the files if you just need one, or an easy install of the game.
I also back up my mod folder for the JSGME after I get the mods I want installed into it.
I am not sure what files you need for the help file.

Deactivate all the mods in Jsgme that did not come with GWX.

Check to see if fault has been eradicated.

If it has, add one third party mod at a time whist checking for problem returning.

If it doesn't you have a corrupted install/file.

Precisely which help file are you after :hmm:

The help that is missing is the custom pages added by GWX such as uboat diving info and such.

I was actually posting out of laziness. You see, I just got everything set up and didn't want to do another grueling stint of activating mods and loading to see what is fixed. I figured someone else would likely have had the same problem since it seems most of those mods are in common use together right now.

I have confirmed that it works fine with all mods off, and none of my custom mods deal with any files related to those pages that I am aware of. I most certainly do not load SH3 commander with JSGME, but it does modifiy files (thus it is a mod), and I thought could possibly effect the situation.

I usually do keep a backup copy of the SH3 GWX fresh install, but I decided to get it all the way I want and back that up this time instead. I do keep all of my mods in a backup folder on another drive, but this time I tried out some new ones with GWX 2.1.

Let it be known that I also did a complete reinstall of SH3+GWX+Mods to see if it corrected the problem. It did not, so it is one of the mods.

Which file is the help data stored in?

Then I can only repeat what I posted earlier.

It should only take up to a dozen game loading operations.

If it's of any help to you I would discount the GWX mods that came with the installation, the gramaphone music, LifeBoats&Debris_v3B, Torpedo damage Final ver2.0 and the Enable Original UMark tga.

The rest should be trial and error until you find the offending file/mod.
