Problem with NYGM officer icons blocks of colour...

[RevReese]

Hey, no i haven't installed SH3 to program files, it is under F:\Steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunter 3.


I installed MultiSH3 and SH3 Commander to each a separate install to each copy of the game (F:\Silent Hunter 3 NYGM and F:\Silent Hunter 3 GWX).


I clicked "save" on the multish3 dialog box after entering a 3 digit name so i have no idea why it is not working.


ah well, where would i be without mod troubles?
The annoying thing is it will turn out to be some silly mistake on my part!

When starting SH3Commander, make sure that you are launching Silent Hunter 3 NYGM (GWX) in the upper left corner.

Thanks for your reply.
On launching SH3C, there is nothing in the upper left, and it does not appear to load my mods (at least not Captain America's Icons).
There is no NYGM splash screen as there is when i launch the sh3.exe directly but it does show NYGM TW loaded with sh3 commander on the banner at the bottom of the main menu.


The game version still reads 1.4 as well even though i used the Hsie and Stiebler patches when launching via SH3C, this number is correct when loaded directly (V16B1).


Having a read through your linked post, i will try S3F out instead.


Edit: Tried S3F and i like it so far despite needing to edit the config file to add in the mission editor and SH3Commander.
I am trying a fresh install of NYGM though i would still appreciate if anyone could let me know whether to use SH3Commander every time and if it does in fact actually load NYGM as it says it does on the main menu but evidently actually doesn't.


Loading SH3Commander via S3F does not detect my saved career though.

Where do you have SH3Commander installed? Perhaps at startup you need to select the NYGM installation folder (GWX) in the settings.

I have it installed to F:\Silent Hunter 3 NYGM\SH3 Commander and F:\Silent Hunter 3 GWX\SH3 Commander


I don't see any options to change the installation folder though.

Good. I'm doing the same thing despite the fact that this is an independent program.. Nevertheless, when starting SH3Commander, go to the general settings and make sure that the correct game installation folder is selected.

I'm an idiot.
I was using an old version from a backup, downloaded new version and all has become clear!
Thanks for the assist!
