Well, I'm back

KeybdFlyer · 05-09-07, 01:17 PM

Hi again everyone. After 8 months shore-leave (I wish - it was actually a crashed computer which I couldn't replace), I've finally got myself back in action. Unfortunately, I can't remember most of SH3 (at my age I struggle to remember my name!), so could somebody please remind me how to install The Grey Wolves 1.1a over a fresh SH3 install? I have all the files backed-up on a CD, so I just want to know if all that's required is to run TGW11a.exe Then I'll have to go scouring distant shores for the various other mods I had installed. Not that I know what they were! Hopefully some names will jog my poor aching brain. Good to be back - wish me luck, 'cause I'm a nooby again!

Do yourself a favor and get GWX, the Grey Wolves Expansion that was released in Dec 2006, it is now at version 1.03, with 1.04 in the works.

Welcome back

Welcome back, 8 months

well I second the GWX motion nothing better on the "market" right now.

KeybdFlyer · 05-09-07, 01:35 PM

You're really throwing me in at the deep-end, aren't you?

I've already d/l GWX and was all set to install it last night - then I read the threads! Now, I wasn't the greatest Commander 8 months ago - GWX would probably have me lying "full fathoms five" in the Naval Academy sectionl!! Seriously though - do you think I could survive? If there's a chance, I'll give it a go. (Maybe I'd even keep you informed of a 60yr old captain's progress? LOL) Thanks for the WB - I need all the encouragement I can get!

Yes, go for GWX

As for surviving, well I´m 50 and all is well, sort of

Ok. It would seem that the error 87 message was coming from the Starforce driver. Working on the assumption that I was going to have to uninstall SH3 anyway, I downloaded & ran the Starforce Driver Removal software at about 05:00 today and was preparing to uninstall when this little voice whispered "Just give it another try" - so I did. The game re-applied the Starforce drivers and requested a re-boot to complete, then loaded normally and worked fine. I then collapsed in relief. Of course, after a three-hour sleep break, I have yet to ascertain if it is STILL working, but all being well, I might actually be able to leave port and examine GWX's wonders! One other question. I installed the Integrated Orders optional Mod. Where is the menu? I can see nothing different, certainly not an additional menu. Bear in mind that I AM very tired

just tell me how to access it! Going to try SH3 again now, if it fails again I'll be right back!

The integrated orders mod only adds extra functionality to the existing User Interface. Basically, extra buttons so you don't have to use the keyboard shortcuts.

Click on the Officer Icons for the added options.

Oh, do yourself a favour, get rid of StarForce once and for all. You must know how.

Good Morning KF.

Glad to hear things are looking up. One thing I don't recall others saying if they do or don't do while installing Game, mods or whatever is I turn off my Virus protection and any other programs I don't need. And I leave them off during gameplay. Btw I use the IO mod myself. I like it's features.

Good luck and keep in touch how things are going. Me and many others will be standing by to offer any assitance we can to get you up and running. Were looking forward to hearing your reports on high tonnage
