GWX 3.0 color coded contacts

Red Neck · 07-17-20, 04:01 PM

Here is my mod list in order:
GWX- 16K Atmosphere
GWX- Captain America's Officer Icons
GWX- English Nav Map and Grid Refs (this one doesn't work)
GWX- Enhanced Damage Effects
GWX- Open Hatch Mod
WB's Renown Replacement
GWX- Contact Color

I will be removing Nav Map, Enhanced Damage, Open Hatch and Renown Replacement Mods and see if that does it then I can add them back in one at a time until it breaks.

Thanks Jim

That modlist doesn't look like it changes the same file, but I am not familiar with all those. As you enabled those mods, did JSGME tell you that files were in conflict at some point? If not, then it is not due to mod order issue. I don't know why this does not appear in your game.

Maybe check if the files in the mod folder are the same as in the SilenthunterIII folder structure after enabling the mods. But just comparing names and filesizes won't be sufficient. One would need to compare a hash of the entire file. (special calculation that gives different results based on order of the bytes) Unfortunately that is not built-in to Explorer. You need 3rd party file comparison tools. I have used this tool in the past to do it for a bunch of files: https://www.exactfile.com/

If the files match (a whole bunch won't as they are not part of the mod folder) then JSGME did it's work and something else is wrong. Or if they don't match entirely then something went wrong in the enabling of the mod by JSGME.

I'm going again with color contacts. I was ready to uninstall GWX 3.0 and reinstall it. I went to SH3 Commander to get the path to GWX 3.0 and found that I had 2 installs, one on C: and one on D:. The path in Commander was to C:, and I was changing the mod list on D:. I corrected the path and it now works properly. My thanks to every one for your help and time. This forum has some great folks on it!
I'm off to sink some ships.
Thanks again.
Jim
