For the life of me I can't get JSGME to work in SHV

I used it religiously in SH3...but for some reason it never activates the mods in SH5. I remember in SH3, you would activate the mod, then launch the game in JSGME...am I remembering it correctly? Or you created a new shortcut...something like that? Anyway, I followed the instructions but must have screwed something up because none of my activated mods work.

Hmmm, set up a 'Mods' folder in your 'Silent Hunter 5' folder and then have JSGME in your 'Silent Hunter 5' folder. As long as the mods in the 'Mods' folder are extracted properly, they should install properly.

The Mods folder should have a mod with a folder with its own unique name, in which should be a folder called 'data'. If the folder has another folder in it called 'Mod name' then it's not been extracted properly and won't install properly.

I've never launched the game from JSGME, but that might be one of the many strings to its bow.

check your mods too, many are not set up to use as unzipped so be sure they are the correct mod folders and file paths

The only one that seems to work is the dialog mod where you have more options from the Officers. Pretty cool...but what I really need is the SHIII triple dials in the lower right. I HATE the new controls. Also, a Das Boot voice mod would be good...even though it would never be complete because of the extra dialog you have with each officer...but man, so I miss the German language sequence of "ALAAAAAAARM!" and the bells from the drill scene in the movie!!!!!

well that tells you that jsgme is working ok so its the mods, you must not be installing the correct mod folder so open them up and see whats going on


as for your wish list, all of that is done, just go to the sh5 mods section and download away

Ashamed to ask this...but can someone walk me through the PROPER way to get the mods installed so they work with JSGME? I am not too smooth with computers!
