Yes Capt. that's what step by step is all about.

Absolutely. And I imagine it's no less of a struggle to keep on top of all the mods needed to make this game work - and then to explain them to us

Hi Capt.

Yes your right, especially with Sober as he will frequently update more than 1 mod list within a few hours or a day later, so he keeps me on my toes.

Don't forget also the modders put in countless hours that unlike mine you can't see.

1. In this Tutorial I have chosen sobers’s green crew training v4 SH5 Mod as the Tutorial example.

2. This Mod contains the Folder in Folder situation that causes a number of problems to newcomers to JSGME.

3. The Subsim Forum is constantly being posted with this type of problem where the Mod has been Enabled but does not work.

4. This Tutorial will show you how to spot this problem with any Mod that you download.

5. It is also good practice to have your Mods all in one place so they can be found easily.

6. In this Tutorial we will be using a Folder called SH5 Mods Store.

7. Download the sobers green crew training V4 SH5 Mod to the SH5 Mods Store Folder. (Picture 1)

24. This means that the sobers green crew training V4 SH5 Folder that we saw in Picture 8 is the Folder that needs to go in the JSGME Mod Folder.

25. The rule is look for the data Folder and it is the Folder behind the data Folder that always needs to go in the JSGME Mod Folder.

26. Use the Arrow in the Left Top Corner to go back to the sobers green crew training V4 SH5 Folder.

27. Open the Mod Folder and select Copy. (Picture 11)

35. This action can also be done directly from the Mod Folder see Picture 12 by opening the Mod Folder and opening the Mod and Deleting from there.

36. At this point if you cannot see the data Folder then the Mod will not work if it is Enabled.

37. If there are any Text Files or Document Folders showing then these should be Deleted by right clicking with your mouse and selecting the Delete function.

45. You still have the original Zip File of the Mod as a backup as well as the Copied Mod sobers green crew training V4 SH5 all in the SH5 Mods Store Folder.

46. How we got there:

47. (1) Zip File > (2) sobers green crew training V4 SH5 Folder > (3) Documents Folder + (3) Mods Folder > (4) sobers green crew training V4 SH5 Folder > (5) data Folder

48. The usual position for a Folder to be copied to the JSGME Mods Folder would be in position (2) and the data Folder in position (3).

49. As you can see with this particular Mod you have 2 Folders with the same name in positions (2) and (4).

50. This is why you need to pay careful attention with any Mods that you intend to use so you know what to put in the JSGME Mod Folder for the Mod to work.

TIP
If you shade this information and then copy and paste it to your PC Notepad you can then edit it.

Hi THEBERBSTER,

I am new to modding sh5 and I find your thread here are invaluable.
Thank you very much for doing it.

However, I have a question about TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_164_0.
Do you patch it in the beginning before all the mods in JSGME 2.6.0 or at the end after all the JSGME mods?

Here are my steps:
1. TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_164_0

then under JSGME:
2. NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_TheDarkWraith
3. Open Horizon II v2.5
4. Trevally Tutorial - All v0.2(for OHIIv1.3)

However, when playing the tutorial, I get random CTD quite often.
I have tried Basic Sub Maneuvering, Activate Stations and Automation and I have get CTD about 5 or 6 times.

What do I do wrong?
Please advise.

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi tirta

TDW's GFP is a stand-alone Patcher it has nothing to do with JSGME

Do not put it in JSGME

Do not put in your Mods Folder

This comes from the installation instructions from my Post #2

TDW’s Generic File Patcher’ is a ‘Stand-alone’ Application.

DO NOT put this in “JSGME” or in any SH5 folders.

Right click and delete the Patcher from JSGME

Look at my instructions again

Peter

[tirta]

yes I have read your post no.2.

I have not put TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_164_0 under jgsme,
but on separate folder, but the tutorial still cause me CTDs.

I do not have CTD when using stock game.
What caused CTD? Do you know?

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi tirta

Post your mod list to me

In “JSGME”

Go to “Tasks”

Go to “Export activated mod lists to”

Click on “Clipboard”

Paste to my Post.

Can you explain a little better what you mean by the tutorial is causing a ctd?

Is the Patcher opening and showing you the 9 patch files?

Peter
