Problems again for me!!!
After I successfully unzipped the seven parts of the mod I got a folder called Schnellboot Mods, which contains a lot of stuff, including the readme. I followed carefully the instructions, first i created the copy of C/program files/ubisoft/sh3 and i renamed it SBM2
Then when it asked to me to run a .bat file and two .exe files. No traces of .bat and .exe files! Anyone got this problem?

Readme, manual and all that isn't valid, I wrote it for the final thing if I had made an installer, which I didn't

Install procedure should be:

1)
-Have a clean install of SH3, put a copy of JSGME in it and create a "MODS" folder
-copy "SBM Install Step 1.bat.txt" in the main SH3 folder (where SH3.exe is located)
-open that file, delete the first line "FOR %%A IN (Sh3MissionEditor.exe) DO DEL %%A", save and exit
-rename "SBM Install Step 1.bat.txt" into "SBM Install Step 1.bat"
-double-clic on it, let it finish its work, then delete the file

2)
Copy all the submods to your fresh SH3/MODS folder, except the following:
-blank LND
-blank locations mod
-blank RND campaign
-blank SCR campaign
-Campaign files
-KEYS - Easy sub control (this one kind of works, you can try it)
-LifeBoats&Debris_v4

3)
Install all the submods with JSGME, if I remember correctly there should be no conflict and so the order shouldn't matter.

That's it. The two "Skinpack" mods are optionnal

Remember that if you start in Boulogne in 1940/1941 the game will crash because of a bug in the RND campaign layer (haven't found it). The solution is to not start from there, or use the blank RND campaign layer (makes for a boring game), or try to hunt down that bug in that big-ass text file.

Other than that it's unfinished but should play decently.

Hello Guy`s, after the install. according the instructions I got the folowing:

The game starts up and I can go to the Career after I insert a name
I open the career mode and have to manage the Crew
Start 1939 Weddigen.
When I start the mision I have a CTD.

When I start at the Saltzwedel flott. at Wilhelmshaven I have to
manage the crew it is a full U-Boat crew 51 men.
and again after starting the mission i get a CTD.

Thanks Dutchie-one
I have a problem too..started 1939 kiel, upgraded to s-14 (IId) circumnavigated the jutland peninsula and docked at helgoland
i set up for another patrol and successfully concluded it
Set up for the third patrol (november 1939) and after some times the game crashes.
Starting a new career from that point onwards the mission crashes mid-loading. I followed carefully the instructions for the game installation...did someone is experiencing the same problem?

Well Linerkiller, at last you can play a mission I do not.
so I think to reinstall the game and try again.

I hope someone else can solve a solution

all the best, Dutchie-one

Dutchie, there's a problem with your install. Make sure ALL the mods listed in my post above are installed. From your post I can tell that at least "SB Flotillas" and maybe also "SB Cfg" aren't installed.

LK, I'm not sure about your problem, probably another bug in the campaign layer. I tested the 3 layers independently and together for hours and hours and I only found the CTD when starting from Boulogne in 40/41. But I tested alone so I probably missed some others.

Hi Dutchie, glad to hear it
From the screenshot you sent me, I can tell that there was a problem with basic.cfg and possibly some other files.
Basic.cfg has to be the one provided in the mod, or the game will crash, basically none of the submods listed above is optionnal (unless stated otherwise).
