As mentioned above, I will not be releasing the smaller version of the MFM for now.

Many thanks, The interim version works fine on my SH3.

The MFM Interim Beta (the light version), works fine in my LSH3 V5.

Great! But only MFM Lite? I´ve installed the full MFM version (with 4GbPatch), and I obtain an awful CTD. Only the MFM Interim beta works fine in my Sh3 plus GWX installation.

Unfortunately putting in those other mods,namely the 'Super sub pens' has royally screwed my install up,won't load up at all now
Got a blasted kernel.dll problem popping up Even though I deleted the career and started again
Starting to remember why I went off this game,so damn fragile
One wrong mod and it's 'Goodnight Vienna'

I've produced a 1-page microsoft Word document summarising the merchant ship tonnage and draft data from the interim beta mod's recognition manual. It can be found here:

You can also find similar documents for the WAC4.1 mod and (for SH4 users) Lurker's Operation Monsun mod.

Many thanks. I can use only the MFM Interim.

Dear,
I have a question:
In MFM-INTERIM-BETA/Sea, I have a funny record, the MO1B with DDS files, which record shall come from SH4 or SH5 . Does this matter will not disturb the smooth running of the game?

Because you are using GWX you are probably suffering from the effect of too many units. The game simply cannot handle the SH3 GWX unit roster plus dozens more units from the MFM; I myself got CTD's in campaign and museum (despite meticulous checks of cfg and eqp files) until I manually removed several units I didn't want - thus making the roster smaller. For this reason, any future merchant updates I do will be for SH4 and possibly SH5.

This will not affect the game.

Can I delete this file MO1B without fear, and his name in EnglishName.cfg, and Roster / British / Sea?

Iambecomelife,

MFM: As per your Read Me, can you tell me which file in GWX do I amend..?
I loaded GWX so long ago, I have only some unused GWX options in JSMGE.


You quote; "3.)Then, open the MFM-IMPORTANT.txt file and copy & paste the unit names in your Englishnames.cfg

I recommend you paste the names immediately below the last functional unit - in GWX
this should be "Schute_M2=Small Coal Tender".

Can you advise please?


Thanks
