Newbie Questions: Proper Installation of Mods + Dragable Stopwatch

Rudolf39 · 05-25-17, 09:03 AM

Ahoi Kammeraden!

I got a few questions, being a newb.

"Proper" Installation"

I assume there's several ways to properly install the game and mods, but maybe you can give me a recommended order for people who want to install several mods.

I installed both SH3 Commander and JSGME, but ultimately was to scared to screw something up, so I didn't use them. Instead I just did (Win 7 53bit):

install SH3 from CDROM + Apply 1.4b patch
install GWX 3 Final
install Ahnenerbe Final
---
I recon a proper Install is something like 1. Game 2. patches 3. MegaMod (GWX) 4. some utility to install further small mods, but not sure about this exactly...

I've been watching the gameplay of Wolfpack345 on youtube and really want to install many of the mods he uses, but as I said, I'm too scared to do so without knowing the proper procedure.

Here's what he has installed:

Especially I want to get the dragable Stopwatch on the Map-screen. I thought it was part of Ahnenerbe, but I only have the Stopwatch pop out of the right-side Screen and it's not interactive. Which mod do I need for this dragable/interactive Stopwatch, or is it a Key-shortcut or something?
UPDATE: I just figured, he made the dragable Stopwatch himself by editing a few lines of code... Does one of you know which file and what to edit? I'll try to get it out of him on his youtube channel.

Wolfpack345 - This is an amazing Patrol video! you gonna love it, I'm sure!

Thanks for your time reading this!

Dragable stopwatches are not interactive. Interactive & dragable Stopwatch doesn't exist yet. Read this :

I guess I was dreaming about it, lol.
Still, want to make it at least dragable on the map table. Do I better install a mod for it, or edit some config files myself?
thank you

If you use GWX, you should have already a dragable stopwatch.

Rudolf39 · 05-25-17, 11:32 AM

hm. so I guess Ahnenerbe atop of GWX made it undragable then, or I need press some key to unlock it.

I'm not using this mod, but I guess the stopwatch is there :

Sinking lonely merchants is too easy and in my opinion it hasn't any emotion.

I would prefer watch videos that were played in tough conditions, like attacking a convoy in 1942+, going to Scapa Flow in 1939, avoiding depth charges, or anything from 1944+ where you have literally no place to hide (always with 100% realism).

Unfortunately I do not find this kind of crude videos, and I'd would love to see them, that's why I'm trying to record gameplays too, live broadcasts (no load/save) in intense enviroments like the ones I told you. But I'm to newbie as youtuber/broadcaster and I'm doing a lot of mistakes while I'm recording, like no audio or similar

Another unavoidable mistake is that there are some looooong patrols where I'm unable to find any target.

Rudolf39 · 05-25-17, 05:44 PM

So, can sombody inform me about a proper Installation procedure, for GWX followed by a bunch of mods?

His videos are excellent. And yes, that last one with the Stuka attack was incredible.
