messed up install of GWX102 + mods

... just in case anyone has any ideas ... BTW, I did rtfm

Before installing the GXW102 patch, I disabled the mods I had installed via jsgme (which were just a couple of GWX mods anyway), then I moved the mods folder to a backup location. I also undid a couple of direct file edit mods (eg no slideout menus). Then I rolled back SH3Cmdr.

Installed the 102 patch, looked in the new mods folder and saw there were only a couple that were there (presumably changed by 102 patch), so I dropped back in the other GWX options, then re-enabled the ones I had installed before. Also put in a new mod ... longer torpedo wakes ... via jsgme. Re-did the file edit mods that I had before, then put the new sh3Cmdr cfg files into the sh3Cmdr folder.

Started up via SH3 into my old career, no problem. I was in base prior new patrol. Messed around a bit with crew awards etc, then started game, but crashed on me about halfway through loading.

I guess I'll work backwards, disabling mods one by one in reverse sequence and seeing if game will start up. I should have tried it before re-installing mods I suppose. ... I'm hoping I don't have to reload the game from scratch, I liked that career.

I hope I can get some comp time later this evening to try it. Anyway in the meantime, just in case anyone has any ideas or sees anything I did wrong ...
