Um, Mel. The question was 'can it be used without SH3Cmdr'?:rotfl:

The only other way is to pick and choose the skins that you want and arrange them into the correct format for a JSGME mod. This requires knowledge of the file structures needed.

So for a computer thicky like me its either SH3Cmdr or nothing,bugger

It's tricky I'm affraid as there is more than 1 skin per vessel in the pack, unless you choose which ones you want, it's pointless making a JSGME ready pack.

May I ask, why do you not want to use SH3Cmdr?

nikbear · 04-25-07, 03:08 PM

I suppose its because I'm running SH3 patched+GWX1.03 and its running fine with some skins and mods,(minus the longer wakes mod Grrrrrrr

)And I'm of the opinion if its not broke don't fix it,SH3Cmdr gets such high praise I really should download it but I dont want to over complicate things,and I don't really know enough about it to really know if it will make that much of a difference to my gaming experience.What do you reckon?your unbiased and qualified opinion would help plus you could explain what it actually is.

SH3Cmdr is a standalone program which enables alot of extra features and options. As it is standalone you can choose to use it on a particular patrol or not.

There is so much that SH3Cmdr adds, it's hard to recall it all but you can find the readme for SH3Cmdr here - http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/sof...dr%20Help.html and you can see a screenie here - http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/sof...ts/SH3CMDR.gif.

It's at least worth the time to d/l & install to see what the fuss is about.

If you don't feel that it warrants keeping then uninstall it.

I hope this helps.

Oh! Yes it is 160 for the set. I was looking at each one individually!

And thought Jeez there is over 500mb there, thats like another GWX download again!

4)What's the point of including it if the end GWX user does NOT use SH3Cmdr.

I hope that clears that up.

yep.

they should have named it SH3Cmdr skin pack.

Couldn't do that, there is already a SH3Cmdr Skin pack for non GWX users.:rotfl:

Umfuld · 04-26-07, 01:13 PM

Okay, I have the skin pack, the IX open hatch mod and the d/c shake mod sitting on my dest top and my sub is at the equator planning a 4th run at a tough 3 DD 1 Swawn convoy. 6 torps left.

If I survive this last attack can I be forgiven if I just warp back to base to try the new mods I have?

nikbear · 04-26-07, 03:45 PM

If you survive you can be forgiven anything(within reason obviously)

As long as your in base I don't think the game will give a 'flying feck'
