NYGMTW Install Question

[bill clarke]

I have down loaded this and read through the manual, if I just drag the entire TW data folder in to my SHIII program files, will it overwite all the current files and thus install the mod ?

Thanks guys.

Basically yes, there's a more involved but better method of installing that'll allow you to upgrade later, or make changes and addtions, much easier.

Installing NYGM 2.2 via JSGME
1. SH3
2. SH3 Patch 1.4
3. JSGME 1.4.1
4. NYGM 2.2 - Stand Alone
5. SH3 Commander 2.6.1
6. Ensure you apply the SH3 Commander files from the documentation folder in NYGM 2.2.

Step by Step:

1. Install SH3 from DVD.
2. Install the SH3 1.4b patch.
3. Install JSGME by moving the files into your main SH3 install directory (usually c:\program files\ubisoft\silenthunterIII)
4. Run JSGME once. This will create a MODS folder under the ...\silenthunterIII folder.
Close and run JSGME again, this time choose Tasks... option from the middle and create a snapshot of your files. This will ensure JSGME knows what your basic SH3 install should look like. Close JSGME.
5. Unpack NYGM 2.2 Stand Alone and move the entire folder into the ...\silenthunterIII\MODS folder. At this point you should have files structure like this:

C:\program files\ubisoft\silenthunterIII\ -
                                                     MODS\ - 
                                                               NYGM Tonnage War V2.2 – Stand Alone Version\ -
                                                                                                data\...

6. Run JSGME and you should see "NYGM 2.2 Stand Alone" on the left side of the screen now. Click the > button to move it to the right, installing your mod. This will take quite some time! Once it's moved to the right close JSGME.
7. Install SH3 Commander 2.6.1
8. From c:\program files\ubisoft\silenthunterIII\MODS\NYGM Tonnage War V2.2 – Stand Alone Version\documentation\SH3 Commander Optional Updates copy all files into C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander\Cfg.
9. Delete from that same SH3 Commander\Cfg folder all the specifc date files ie, Randomised events_19*.cfg leaving only the one Randomized file you just copied.

You should be good to go now.

Thanks, but looks a bit too complicated for a numpty like me, think I'll take the easy option.

It looks daunting but I did it over the weekend without difficulty. Just follow the instructions and you'll find it's easy and well worth it.
