GWX Patch 1.02 RELEASED - Page 2

Dante80 · 02-20-07, 07:22 AM

Yep. First thing I did was to read carefully the info and do all of the above. Why the error message?...as I show, no mods are enabled in JSGME. Sh3Cmmdr is rolled back, and my last save is in a patrol. Should I delete my last saves too? (that would be a disaster, I'm returning from the most nerve shattering and breathtaking patrol in my carreer)

Always Rollback SH3Cmdr

then

Disable/Enable Mods via JSGME.

You appear to have done this in the wrong order.

Do you have a 'clean' copy of SH3 and/or GWX saved on your HDD?

EDIT - You may need to read MORE carefully, YOU MUST BE DOCKED & IN PORT.

Captain Nemo · 02-20-07, 07:28 AM

You must be in port when you apply the patch. I've just left port on my current patrol so won't be able to apply the patch until I get back to Kiel.

Yes I know what you mean, but its not a problem. SH3cmmdr was rolled back BEFORE the mods were de-activated. As I always try new mods, I have the habit to rollback SH3cmmdr every time I finish playing (A pop up is shown just as you exit the game or crash to DT). There is no way that I installed or uninstalled mods with SH3cmmdr enabled.

Hm...now that I remember, I have changed manually some files (added Queen Mary without JSGME and slightly increased renown alloted for airplanes). Could the patch see these changes as JSGME mods enabled?...if that is correct, I'll go to full uninstall - re-install *sigh*...

edit: If the midpatrol saved game does it, I'll finish the patrol and try the patch then. Thanks for the help mate....

Assuming that you've opened the JSGME that is installed in the same folder as the SilentHunterIII that you want to patch, then you must have residual files left under that JSGME install, most likely from manually deleting mods that were still installed.

To check, open up the SilentHunterIII folder that you want to install the patch into (in Windows Explorer). You should see a MODS sub folder. Under it will be a !BACKUP folder. If you have ANY FILES under that backup folder, then, based on your screenshot above, you have residual files left over from previous mods. To be blunt, this would be indicative of poor housekeeping (not disabling or enabling mods correctly or deleting mods that are still enabled).

*If* this is the case, then you have two options:

1. Delete everything under the !BACKUP folder and "hope for the best", recognising that any subsequent CTDs will most likely be caused by conflicting files (if the installer doesn't pick it up of course).

2. Trash the install and start again.

Personally, I'd go the latter (your CTD comment above, whilst perhaps flippant, seems suggestive of an unstable installation).

Now if you *don't* have any files under !BACKUP then your problem is most likely easier to correct - simply make sure that the installation you selected in the installer is the same as the installation for which you disabled the mods.

EDIT: No, you won't get this error if you manually modified files directly in your SH3. You may, however, get another error (which does not look to be the case here) saying that you don't have a proper GWX install. However, simply installing a new ship and editing renown should not upset the installer. But you will need to re-add the ship to your *Names.cfg file afterwards, but that should be all that is required.

Thanks JScones for the feedback. Will finish patrol and reinstall...I had a few CTDs in the past, mainly because I tested 20+ mods at any given time together...

Will report findings later. Thank you all for your help...

On a totally unrelated matter, do you know that there is an updated JSGME? One that would let you view the interface in Greek no less (courtesy of melnibonian)? If a Greek JSGME appeals to you, read http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=105421

Thank you, Modders (not to be confused with mothers). I just left on patrol so will have to either get killed or wait 'til I'm back.

charlesmester · 02-20-07, 09:45 AM

Just a quick question, after applying the new patch do you reapply the dec23rd patch via jsgme or just use the new patch by its self?

Regards

Chuck

bigboywooly · 02-20-07, 09:47 AM

The Dec 23rd patch should be deleted by the patch

danlisa · 02-20-07, 09:56 AM

@ BBW

You might want to remove the listing under your sig.

bigboywooly · 02-20-07, 10:00 AM

Yeah I will mate
In process of uploading the patch to my FF now then will redo the sig

OneTinSoldier · 02-20-07, 10:25 AM

Cheers

Hi all!
Thanks a lot to the GWX-team for the new patch!

I got an installation problem with it.
Before patch execution, i docked in port, disabled all mods with JGSME and rolled back SH3Commander. As i have read so far, maybe i did it in the wrong order and rolled back the Commander-files after disabling the mods

Now i always recieve errormessage: GWX-keyfiles not found. Of course they are installed!

GWXInstErr.log says:

Quote:

Verification of "C:\...\SilentHunterIII" by The Grey Wolves Expansion failed.
Test 1 = PASSED
Test 2 = PASSED
Test 3 = PASSED
Test 4 = PASSED
Test 5 = FAILED - 7926dfba48a3c9d7ec69b9acf6f066bc

What can i do now? Thanks for all help

edit: the only mod i installed manually is Carotios_World_Map_for_GWX-1.3
