MVP Mod Installer (MVPMI) Update with MVP Mod repack

Woof1701 · 08-08-05, 03:41 PM

Hi everyone,

After Iambecomelive released his excellent Late War Edition (V1.1)and AddOn skin pack for Sergbuto's Add On Merchants, I decided to make an update of my Mod Installer (MVPMI). In order to make installing and switching skin packs easier. I took The Avon Lady's idea and made a repack with both mods and the addon.

You do not NEED Sergbuto's AddOn Merchants for the installer to work, but it is highly recommended.

New feature:
When installing the MVP skins, you get an option to chose the time period of your career.

1. 1939-1940 Early War skins only
2. 1941-1942 Mid War Mix (camouflage and pre-war skins mixed for use near U.S. coast)
3. 1941-1945 Late War camouflage skins only

Sorry. It seems I incorporated a little bug in the last upload ... again ... It's only a glitch in the batch file itself, making every command that's carried out visible. Although that's good to find errors, it's pretty annoying when trying to use the file the normal way. The good news is that you don't have to download everything again, but only update the mvpmi.bat file. For all others who haven't downloaded yet, I provide a corrected version, of course.

Download corrected MVPMI.bat file here:

How should I exactly insert this in the mod list? Tool? Graphics add-on?

Why not put it in both?

This is the entire line of MVP skins, repackaged with your batch file, right? If so, it belongs under skins/graphics, etc. - not under utilities.

Agreed. Seems to be the most sensible place for it.

Woof! Thanks for your work, but I am a little bit confused about the installation!
In your read me you say like this:

There are two alternative methods to installing the MVP Mod and the MVPMI - one in conjunction with using the JSGME (recommended) and the other without using the JSGME.

No matter which installation method you have chosen, you should see the following folders and files prior to initially running the MVPMI batch file:

\SilentHunterIII\MVPMI.bat
\SilentHunterIII\documentation\MerchantVarietyPack _Readme.txt
\SilentHunterIII\documentation\MVP_Promo_Pic.jpg
\SilentHunterIII\documentation\MVPMI.bat_Readme.tx t
\SilentHunterIII\MVP\*.tga (multiple TGA files)

But in the folder I DL there is also a MVPMLW folder!! What should I do with this folder??

I use JSGME and under the install notes, this MVPMLW folder is not mensioned there either.

How should I do with this folder? That folder should be mensioned in the read me or have I totaly missed something?

Don't wish to make some remark here, just confused how I shall proceed.

Hope for help

I think you're talking about the Merchant Variety Pack's camoflage skin folder. This belongs in the root directory of SH3 or (if you're using JSME) wherever the folder "MVP" is. In other words, you should have MVP and MVPMLW in the same directory.

Thanks for quick answer!
The thing is that it doesn't say anything about this MVPMLW folder. And in the MVPMLW folder is a batchfile namned MVPMLW. Am I suppose to do something with that batchfile?

So if I understand you right i shall put the MVP folder + MVPMLW + the MVPMI batch file in the same folder. Then use JSGME for install, then run the MVPMI batch file and then I have the possibility to choose what kind of skins I want to have installed? Like option 1-3?

Have I understood this right then?

That sounds about right, although to be honest I don't use the JSGME in any of my own installations.

Ok, I got it all. now there are two slightly differnet ways to install the MVPearly and MVP mid-late it seems. Do they both go under the same folder in the /MODS folder. ex: .../MODS/MVPv1

Do i only backup original files using the .bat program or do i just backup when using the MVPmid-late mod?

I currently have all the files going to the same folder, though the 2 versions are there in their own sub-folders. i a bit nervous when it comes to mods so i havent ran them yet...I wanna make sure I didnt mess anything up
