Pato's bearing mod problem

[Pisces]

Never just move a folder of an installed application. Thesedays Vista and Win7 won't let you do such stuff to the Program Files folder without propper administrator authentication, but it just isn't smart. There are usually important registry settings that point to the folder. If you need a clean SH3 game you have to do a complete rinse and reinstall. For prevention of annoyance, instal the game, as wel as SH3 Commander outside of the Program Files folder next time.

If you want to use the Pato 1500 grid mod with JSGME you have to recreate the folder-structure yourself. You could use the 3000m grid mod as an example/guide on what it should look like. The maps.cfg file might be in conflict with other mods you might have (or will have in the future). But JSGME will advice that it get's overwritten when other mods conflict, so you'll notice soon enough.

here's a thread that describes the error message:

Best is to reinstall the game, patch, GWX, SH3 Commander and don't forget the extra files needed for SH3 Commander due to GWX.

Thank you for that! I checked all the mods which could interfere with bearing mod and as a result I removed the plot assisting mod. Guess what. The Bearing mod works now!

Also I got my career rescued. I apparently exited my career jsut pressing 'exit patrol' button so the game put me in to the base like I had docked to Wilhelmshaven after the patrol. So I launched SH3 without commander, deleted the newest save game (In the base after patrol 3) and loaded the previous 'real' save game 'In a mission, patrol 3' then saved and exited. Now commander shows my career as it should show, no error messages. Quite messily explained but I hope you got the general idea clarified.

Thank you again, Pisces!

And now, off to the sea!

I knew my help in this thread was some how going to turn out being pointless. Good you figured it out yourself. That's all that matters.

Yeah, I kind of knew it as well. Usually in my problems threads it turns out like that. Thank you for your effort trying to help me!

In the end it was your suggestion what the problem was .
