Just a side note, this is used by the mod "Just Following Orders" or "JFO" which makes a difference in how you approach things, because of those orders. It shows just how thoroughly they research their material for use. A great mod that I think should be used.

I downloaded it a long time ago, just haven't got around to trying it yet. Thanks for the tip.

John, it is a must for me, as one who keeps a real full KTB, does both manual and Weapons Officer targeting ( depends on what is going on ), and try to follow orders coming from BdU. Keeps the SH3 interesting, at least for me.

Try figuring out some of those orders and implement them, it can be interesting.

Sounds good, once I get this campaign over I'll give it a try ! Though fishing season and summer is around the corner too.....

Have an installation question about this mod. In reading the instructions about editing the menu.ini file, it seems he's saying you must use the items listed in the gui he used for the relevant .ini editing.
I.e., OLC this and that.tgas. (convoy map, etc.).

I have the FLB .tga equivalents in my current install; can I use those still with the needed to do so .ini editing of course, instead of the OLC ones the author lists ?
If not, which makman gui version is he referencing to get the .tga files from ?

If you have those items already installed , I would think then, you would need to change the location to OLC. According to the directions :

It is important that the location of the files (data/Menu/OLC/) remain unchanged as that directory is used to update the orders using the new executable file (see Section 4.2.2.1).

Its been a while since I installed this and went back to look at the file. I believe the .exe for JFO will look for and place the needed information on the drop downs so I would think the .ini needs to be pointing to OLC file.

Trust this helps.

Yes, I was wondering about that. I'll make a OLC path jsgme folder with the tgas I already have and give it a try, thanks.

Not sure as I do not use this.

In looking at the .exe for JFO in is dated 03/03/2013 and looking at Makman Gui's It appears that version 3.4 or earlier would be your choice.

Thanks, in doing some more digging I came across a post where rude warrior says he's using Magui F.
Think I'll download that and pull the needed .tga files from it vs using the one's I already have.

John Pancoast · 04-24-20, 11:54 AM

Or maybe the JFO executable provides the needed files. Lots of testing to come.

FUBAR295 · 04-24-20, 12:19 PM

John, sorry for not be better help as it was a while ago I set JFO up and the details fail to come to memory. But the effort will pay off in keeping SH3 challenging.

One thing I did do was set up a different JFO file for GWX, NYGM and WAC.

Not a problem ! I don't think it will be to difficult to figure out. Yes, just reading the read me has me looking forward to trying it out.
