Questions about mods

I'm goin' down · 01-19-10, 03:28 PM

I found the links to the screen shots. Below are the links. This should get you going.

To make things simple, I would download one of Webster's individual mods initially. They should load into JSGME without delay due to the size of the mod being activated. Choose a mod to activate that you can observe as you play, such as fewer air patrols better sub marker, better guns, etc.

JGSME--I assume you have downloaded JGSME. Download it to you SH4 main folder. Do not download it into another folder within SH4's main folder. Copy your download folder icon and drag the copy to your desk top so it will be available for easy access. Alternative: download it directly to the desk top.

Mod - When you download a mod, upon opening the download folder you should get a message it will create and insert your mod into MODS folder in SH4 main file. If not, you should create a MODS folder. Thereafter, you can download your mods into the MODS folder. A downloaded mod is usually in a zip format. You will need to get a free program to unzip it (j-zip??).

Read each of the following posts re JGSME which are copies of thse posts: [REL] Trigger Maru Overhauled 1.9
#1808, #1809 , #1811 , #1824, and #1827. These posts deal with a captain who has download a mod, but does not know how to activate it. It covers his situation and how to open the mod downloadedin zipped format into the MODS folder, which is your situation if I am reading you correctly.

Hint: Print the five posts so you have them in front of you. Read the posts in their entirety, so you understand the issues and have an idea of what JSGME will look like when it is opened on the desk top. Then start with posts 1824 and 1827.

The foregoing should explain what JGSME looks like and how to activate a mod. You know you are on the right track when you drag the mod you want open from its location in the MOD file to JGSME on the desk top and the mod's name appears in the right side window of JGSME.

I sent you links and you should be up and running with mods in no time ... well, it may take some time to get your sea legs working with choosing mods, downloading them into the right folders, unzipping them, transferring them to the desktop JGSME program, and activating them, but what the hell, you are a SUBSIM captain. We are hardcore and you will be soon. Welcome aboard.

Here is a step by step mod install. It's older, but the steps are right, so when you get to the part to load a mod, just load the mod you want, not the old ones listed.

That will do it, if my instructions don't get the job done. What I especially like about it is the second post in the linked thread. It is by lane. Isn't he the captain who put up the post years ago on how to decorate your office with pin ups? That was the funniest post I have ever read, bar none. He even added the Rockettes in place of the crew picture and pinups adorned various pages of the Captain's log! A true sailor! That post should be in the Naval Museum under the subject "Crew Morale." Makes me wish my motherboard had not crashed.

More fun, just make the posters shots of your girlfriend of wife. I converted most of the posters to pics of my wife. All the posters in my sub are of my wife....but only my crew gets to pat her fanny

I think this weekend I'll begin downloading and start off with Webster's deck gun mod.

Again, thanks so much for all of the help.

downloading JGSME, a program to unzip files, and Websters mod should take less than five minutes. If you downloaded a major mod, it takes time to download and to activate. You can test the gun. If you download Rockin Robbins subnuclear gun you can go after battleships. No realistic, but it is one hell of screen show that is impressive if you like fireworks.
