SH3 GWX COMMANDER MOD INSTALL GUIDE

1. Unistall SH3 GWX and the Commander Mod if you would like to save your SH3 Carrer SH3 Folder move it to USB Memory Stick then install CC Cleaner download link below https://www.ccleaner.com/download
search for SilentHunterIII and anything SH3 it Finds anything Delete it do same for GWX and also the Commander Mod.
This is to Ensure theres no fragments of a previous install now you have a blank canvas so to speak.


2. Make a Games Folder on Drive C:/ (but outside Program Files X86)
then place the SH3 download from the link i sent you in your Games Folder
then unpack it with 7zip once unpacked open the SilentHunterIII Folder with all the SH3 Files inside that folder double click on the SH3.Exe and launch the game fire up a single mission like the happy time once that mission fires up SH3 Creates a SH3 Folder in your Documents for all your Carrer saves you dont have to play the full mission just for a few minutes then quit the mission.


3.next download the 4Gig Patch and all seven GWX bin files or the Big GWX all in one file also patch SH3 with the 4gig Patch then launch the GWX Exe GWX should install with no error messages.


4. Then download the Commander Mod 3.2 and the Commander Mod Config File place the Commander Mod 3.2 in the Games Folder below the SH3 Folder and unpack it but dont run it yet.


5. place the Commander Mod Config File inside your SH3 Game folder with all your GWX/SH3 Files and lauch it now you have two white wolf paw prints one is the GWX Exe and the other is the Commander Mod GWX Config file so GWX and the Commander Mod talk to each other.


6. now you can launch the Commander Mod pick your Uboat Kapitan Flotilla you want to join year month of the war and Type of uboat.
or if you want to use your Old SH3 Carrer save folder you put on the Usb memory stick use that one and continue your old Carrer.

Doesn't just running the Commander mod 3.2 placed all the gwx commander files where they need to go ? According to it's instructions, this is so.

You WILL need to point the GWX installer to the PROPER folder!
Or you WILL get an error message!

You ALSO need to tell the Commander files for GWX where it needs to install!

Default for both is C:\Program Files (x86)\Blah blah blah

It's at THIS POINT you need to put the Beer down and take control!
No just clicky clicky!!! I call it reading the freaking screens!

Next whine will be "Why don't it find the proper path on it's own?"
Let me see........
13+ years ago I wrote the installer based on systems of the time.
The Grey Wolves decided NOT to scan registry files OR the hard Drives because of how slow that may be installing GWX 3
So here We are now and everyone wants a run and go solution.
You'd probably be surprise that I STILL have ALL THE ORIGINAL CODE to MAYBE upgrade the installer to cover laziness.
On today's systems? You'd probably never see the system hit.

You want that? PM Jimbuna and ask for it! He is still Chief of the Boat for GWX Team Members.
If he tells me 'Make it so." I'll do it. Until then? I'll leave things as they are.

No problem My Friend.

But We do need to explain things clearly.


Another thing I will say.
GWX has NEVER included the Base SH3 files. You need to have that on your own.
Nor will I ever INCLUDE those files should I build a new installer! Abandoned Software or not.

I personally do not approve of that practice. So will not assist others with ANY Mod that does so.
I find it as lazy work by people that just want to get a Fame Name. I don't need that.

Hi Jeff when Onkel Neal had that phone call with Ubisofts Ceo when LSH-2020 came out last year and the Ceo said that SH3 was Abandonware and he did'nt care what modders did with it.
I uploaded a stock SH3 Install to my Mediafire Acount to send that link to Subsim Members that were having trouble installing SH3 in the past I had ten original copies of SH3 that I bought from Woolworths the day before it closed for good but ive given them all away to folks who needed them but that SH3 Dvd on the revival lable is copyable.
When I used to send SH3 Dvds to guys in UK and USA i did't charge them anything but some wanted my address to send me the postage.
Theres nothing worse than wanting your favorite game SH3 to install and run and no matter what you do you can't get it to run we have all been there.
I just wanted to help guys that are having a spot of bother even more so when they have supported Subsim with donations and put their money where thier mouth is.
