Pretty heavy accusation. If you see anything you have questions about, ask the designers in private. At this point, all these supermods are chock full of collaborated work. To accuse someone publicly like this is not the most effective nor professional way to go about it.

Default Some advice please

First, thanks for this mod.
I have had to reinstall SH3 and the 1.3 patch. Now I find that any mod I try causes a crash. As I am downloading your new version, I have concerns.
I have noticed that the SH3 folder and contents are all read only and I cannot change them. This may be why the addon manager from Jonesy cannot mod.
I get a crash saying that a menu cannot be found. When I unload all mods, it loads fine!!!

Anybody run into this?

I want to try this new mod and hope for a solution!

I am unsure if the 1.3 is a typo, if not you will need to patch your base installation to 1.4b (note the B).

The latest patches are here http://www.silent-hunteriii.com/uk/updates.php

Read only? Hmmm, select the top folder and righ click and go to properites and in properties unselect read only and a ok to to sub folders.

I am presuming that you downloaded the FULL version and not the upgrade version?

NYGM Tonnage War V2.2 - Upgrade Version
This version is an UPGRADE and requires that the NYGM TW 2.0 or 2.1 to be installed prior to this file being installed. Failure to do so will cause a corrupt SHIII install.

NYGM Tonnage War V2.2 – Full Version
This version has all files from the NYGM TW 2.0/2.1 as well as the NYGM TW 2.2 and does not require the previous versions to be installed.

I hope this helps.

Congrats on the new NYGM, haven't had the time to try it out but can't wait to do so.

On a side note, I'd hate to see the SHIII modding scene degenerate into the petty political conflicts that have tarred the Falcon world. It's a game people.

PD

Agreed. No bickering. I just found out I can suspend people for x number of days, what a neat feature this forum has. It's like giving a hammer to Babe Ruth.

Now, back on topic we go, all together--heave!

Annotating who's work your basing your own work off isnt that hard. There's a couple things missing here. Those two things are INTEGRITY and ACCOUNTABLITY. Much could be solved if select person(s) would show some backbone and adopt those two traits.
Thats all i have to say that is constructive.

I could give a little history about certain events (thats plural) that transpired in this modding community so people would have a basis for this angst that i have expressed; and people would probably agree with me that this angst is not misplaced if they understood the source. However said posting would only be deleted or whitewashed so the proverbial pot wont boil over again. Hence, theres really nothing more to say, but i feel infinatly better for having said this much.

Guys,
Let us re-focus on the topic of this thread, that is the NYGM TW 2.2 Mod

There is no need to be distracted replying to unconstructive posts.

Finally got it installed!!

Got a question though, I have some files floating around in my SHIII folder and I dunno if they're supposed to be enabled via JSGME or if they're just there for no good reason.

They're titled: Nightclub, U-boat, Flotilla, Personnel files, Images, and Random.

They appeared right after I installed SH3Cmdr

Did you try to install SH3 Commander via JSGME? If so, use JSGME to remove that and delete it from your MODS folder.

Then reinstall SH3 Commander into it's normal location, c:\program files\sh3 commander

You'll run it by it's icon on your desktop or program menu. Always be sure to rollback SH3 Commander before making any mod changes to your SH3 install.

Yup, I got the same errors with SH3 Gen that you're seeing there. I believe it has to do with the ship lists in the campaign files but haven't looked into it too much.

I'll take a closer look and see if I can figure it out for ya.

Teddy...any news in the compatibility problem with sub skins and transparent dials and officers ? I really cannot play with those stock skins and with the solid bar.

You don't install SH3Cmdr via JSGME - it's a stand alone, third-party add-on. Following kylania's post above should set you straight.

One suggestion though, please thoroughly read the SH3Cmdr Help.html file BEFORE running SH3Cmdr, so that you know exactly what you "are getting".

I did as you wrote here JScones. And as the readme states. But the game stalls upon load. When ever I launch via SH3C the load screen dies about halfway into the game (not the menu, it loads up first, but you cannot start a patrol or continue a career). If I rollback SH3C I can launch NYGM 2.2 just fine. Any clues to what I should be checking for conflicts?
