Why two Mods folders

[Coral]

thanks for the explanation. However, why does some of the files in the Generic Mod have red dots? does that mean that they are not implemented? If so, how does one implement them?

I think I remember there are seperate mods in Wolfs of Steel, and in my setup, there was a MODS folder but the JSGME cfg pointed to the WoS Mods folder (TWS_MODS or something) ..

It might be Wolfs of Steel has all the mods checked and fixed for compatibility.

Hi majapahit

You mean the Optional Mods that come with the Main WOS Mod like the food supplies illuminated ships etc . Coral is not referring to that if I understand his post correctly

Hi Coral
The terminology you are using is making it a little confusing, the applications sound very similar this should help

1. JSGME JonesSoft Generic Mod Enabler is an application that allows you to manage addons more easily

2. TDW Generic File Patcher This patches the games Main exe and allows a degree of editable settings. It can done directly with the Patcher or in some cases editing the .py files . The initial settings are determined by the the WOS Mod . This is done by restoring a Snapshot .gps file . You can save your settings as a Snapshot .GPS file and name it whatever you want



3. TDW options file editor/viewer This allows you to see the changes and edit certain settings parameters etc . The default setting are applied with the TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py

Guide 2 : Making changes in the options file Viewer http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...66&postcount=6


I think you are referring to what look like No Entry Sign icons [ The Red Dots ]
In the TDW Generic File Patcher . If its set up correctly [ Automatically ] it should be mostly a Blue circle with a Tick in the middle. Changes need to be made with a degree of caution but things like changing the Map Tool Colours are fairly simple to apply .

This is a Guide on "how to"

I think the changes you can make with the Options FileViewer/Editor will be of main interest for you certainly for a Graphical changes like the GUI Dials and also its good scope for customisation . Its also very easy to impliment and use

It well worth taking a little time out to check out the Guides by TheBerbster [ Link below ] and keeping to the Instructions with the WOLVES OF STEEL mod without deviating

In the long run it will save time and stress getting fully set up

Happy Hunting
