Thanks for the quick reply. don't know what the non-stock vehicles were so I guess I won't miss them, just happy that the other items in the mod are usable. Now where do I find it? SubGuru had links, but they all showed as file no longer found. Can anyone refer me to a good download link for SCX & SCXIIc? Thanks.


EDIT

This is what I just found at SubGuru.com and it is downloadable.

What it is - SCX is a community-created mod for Sub Command. It adds new subs, ships, aircraft, weapons and sensors, as well as 'tweaking' the originals for added realism. SCU (Sub Changer Utility) is an add-on to SCX II that allows the player to control other sub classes in addition to the 'stock' Los Angeles, Seawolf and Akula subs.

SCX/SCU (Simple Installer Version)
(42 MBytes)

This installer combines the SCX II and SCX IIc update packages as well as the ESM Fix so you don't need to install any of them again. Furthermore all changes for the SCU are done as well, so all you have to do is select your Submarine of choice (don't try to use the InstallPlayableSub.exe - you don't have to). Same goes for the batch files which are still in some of the directories ... simply ignore them. The only optional thing you can do is use the SC SoundEdit Tool (which is included in this installer) and add the buoy sound which is mentioned in one of the ReadMe's.

After installing the SCX Package there is no going back to stock Sub Command unless you deinstall and install it again. There is no JSGME Tool or other such thing included in this installer.

Big Thanks to the SCX Team - you guys did a great job. I just put a new wrapping on the gift package.

Cheers,
Thorsten "OneShot" Bergmann


Do I just have to install this and them I'm good to go? If so, where do I install it ?


EDIT: 1/06/2016

Mod downloaded and installed, now just have to get in there and play. Thanks for all the help, this is a great community!

I never used this simple installer version myself, so I'm not 100% sure of how it works. It's possible that Oneshot's Setup does a file verification check on the subcommand executable and checks if it is modable for the SCU utility. Then likely it cannot be used with Steam. It will probably give a warning. Maybe you can ask Oneshot via PM here on the forum if you cannot get it to work.

Iirc I had to run the batchfiles myself with the older DIY-downloads found on subguru.com. This installer apparently does it for you. I think you just run the setup file and it either finds Subcommand from the registry automatically, or you have to point it to the Subcommand folder inside the Steam folder (probably: c:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Subcommand or something like that). Remember to run the SCXIIc_Installer file as an administrator if it is in the "Program Files" folder structure, or else some things won't stick.

Ahh heck, I still need to finish Subguru/Bill's Scicilian Wedding multi-mission scenario after all those years. I'll try to reinstall subcommand on my win 8.1 and see how far I get with this. As I said, I can't account for the Steam factor in this puzzle though. YMMV

[EDIT]Hmm, not having any luck today trying get the game to run in Windows 8.1. I know others can, but I must be doing something wrong, or I need directx 8.0c which I haven't tried.

To Pisces:

Mod downloaded and installed (and yes the executable runs a batch file during the installation process), now just have to get in there and play. Thanks for all the help, this is a great community!
