Enhanced Damage, LRT, & Hitman's Optics

Hi Uber Gruber,
Forgot to answer your other questions.

S3D doesn't have a compare but you can open many files. You can still use winmerge to compare most files even if it appears garbage, this shows the area which you can then edit in S3D.

My main installation, say GWX 3.0 unmodded is what I compare each mod against and then note the changes (Comparing mod against mod makes it too difficult).

Lets say I was modding the Cameras.dat in 2 mods ACM & LRT.
In winmerge open the GWX 3.0 camera.dat and compare with LRT, it will highlight were the differences are.
Then in S3D you open GWX 3.0 + ACM + LRT, then open each at the first winmerge difference. If GWX 3.0 & ACM is the same then you know the latter hasn't modified that part and so you are reasonable safe to copy the setting from LRT to ACM.
You work down the winmerge differences transfering from LRT to ACM with S3D and thus merge them as one. Notice I always compare both mods to the GWX 3.0 camera.dat if both mods have the changes in the same place then you have to find a setting that will suit both mods.

hope this helps

PLEASE NOTE
When I said:-
It also enables "LWS - LRT 2.04 Full patch", this is the late war sensor patch for LRT
I mean it will be available in the JSGME MOD folder ready to enable at the right time.
