Sinking fast!

Well, I lost my patience with a fresh install of my entire system after upgrading my mobo, CPU, and RAM.

I need my SH3 fix NOW so I've skipped all that other unimportant software and created multiple installs of SH3 for GWX, GWX Multiplayer, NYGM, WAC, and S-Boot.

Needless to say I'm lost in a bewildering maze of files, mods, readmes, and manuals.

Before I surrender to the chilly depths and decide to take up knitting instead, I wonder if the following questions have answers...

Which setup for GWX is usually used for multi-player, "stock" GWX 2.1, the reworked MP version of GWX 2.0, or GWX 2.1 with certain key additional mods?

Does NYGM 3.1 require any additional mods or are they all built into the mod?

I have two additional SH3 mods. One is Frontflotille 2.1 and the other is AOTD Modpack 2.1. Are these stand-alone mods or add-on mods for one of the super-mods like GWX?

This is the first time I've ever had the opportunity to have multiple SH3 installations and I've greatly looking forward careers in WAC and NYGM as well as some online play with GWX and S-Boot.

I'm hoping to have things sorted over the course of this weekend. Aside from asking for divine intervention, wish me luck with this Herculean task.

Wishing you luck, Graf

Thanks, Brag ol' buddy!

I think I've gotten WAC and NYGM ready to go but GWX is going to be a real bear with the hundreds of add-on mods to choose from and install, then manually merging any conflicting add-ons (of which I'm sure there will be more than a few).

I'm still not sure if I can get things set up properly for multi-player.

Once your sorted and you start feeling the benefit I'm sure you'll think it was all worthwhile

Aye, that's truth.

I do have GWX 2.1 installed. Now it's a matter of all the finer details, such as adding the extra mods that I want.

It's just somewhat daunting to be facing 6 DVDs worth of mods and files for SH3, three of which are for GWX 2.0/2.1 alone.

I've also been wanting to try out multiplayer with GWX and the S-Boot mod as well!

My brains must not be as nimble as they once were. Used to be a time when all this computer stuff came as naturally to me as breathing. Then again, I had less concerns in my life in those days.

I'm equally as excited to have my graphics software to set up next. I can hardly wait to get back to working on my SH3 emblem pack and digitally painting some other ideas. Learning 3D modelling with Blender will also be a thrill. Been a fan of that since I first laid eyes on Pixar's early short films and the Mind's Eye series. I just never could afford the sky-high pricetags of Maya or 3DS Max.

So, does anyone know what to do with Frontflotille and AOTD Modpack?
