[REL] The Game Fixes Only Mod

yep, the main goal of GFO was to make it as easy as possible to add mods to it so side effects from adding mods "if any" are usually very minor.


adding ISE would lose the small rain but i cant think of anything else.

Well, I did give it a go last night. I fired up SH4 with GFO and ISE and I didn't find any real problems running the game. Although, I did try swapping the order of activation and I think I might prefer to have the ISE first in line with it's two upgrade files, I didn't see all that much differance swapping the two. I didn't really have it going for that long so all I can say at this point is the mods will work together. I also think that the order that they are activated is going to be important in that there are quite a few shared files, more than I thought there would be. So it's probably going to be up to the player and his computer as to which order works better.
Anyway, I really have to play with it some more, I just wanted to say that they do work together so I'm happy about that.
Thanks Webster.

well to each his own but for the most part GFO should always go first because you want to make sure you get everything out of the mod you are adding to it. otherwise GFO will replace files from that mod with its own mostly stock ones. an example of this is you may keep GFO rain by doing that while losing several environmental adjustments intended for the game by ISE. just saying you could be missing visual things from ISE you just arent noticing yet.

if you dont mind would you PM me a list of the files ISE shares with GFO so i could try and figure out what might bo lost without a ISE patch? thanks

Sorry,... Reverse that. Yes I tried them both ways and I am using GFO first. I remember that my thnking was to protect GFO, I then found that it does appear better to keep GFO first and so that is how I left it.
Thanks

wait,... what??

i thought YOU were testing this already.

as i said many times before the smaller rain in gfo will not work if PE4 or ENV 5 is used (i provided a patch to fix it for real environments)

its a very minor detail you may not even notice but thats the only conflict with those environmental mods, now as i understand it the ISE mod goes way beyond the environmental files and makes other changes so i dont know what conflicts exist with that mod and gfo

hope that answers your questions

LOL, No I tested the Improved Stock Environment_v3, which works fine. I was wondering about PE4 because of the camera features, but I'll load it up.
Sorry for the redundant questions, it's just that SH4 mods are a bit cranky at times and I don't want anything messing with the GFO stuff 'cause it works really well so far.
Thanks again.
