Actualy, it is, just as it is for any one from the GW Mod Team.

Potoroo,

From this professional. Do not think for one moment that I do not have a say in the form the installer takes. Furthermore, I do listen to my team and the concerns they voice matter to me when I make decisions.

Again, thanks for peeing all over a thread that was meant to be positive. If you are such an intellectual and professional, you would have identified the logical requirement to handle things further in private.

Take your hoity toity elitist attitude and stick it in yer.... favorite orifice.

Anyone can talk a thing to death. So feel free. I'm done with this thread and with you. After 12 hours of real drama... I have no more time for yours. The floor is now COMPLETELY yours to spout whatever crap you like.

To get back to a positive note......

I don't care what kind of installer it has, so long as it can get GWX onto my computer somehow that will allow me to play!!!

It wouldn't matter if it came as 27 different Zipped-up files that I needed to decompress and merge first!

Or even if it was on 488 floppies that I had to shove, one by one, into my non-existent Floppy Drive (Remember the good old days?)

Even if my system got screwed up by it, I wouldn't complain about it, I would just get my CDs out and reinstall whatever I needed to.Some may say "Why wouldn't you complain that your system had been screwed by this $&^*($£ Mod"....my reply would be.......

"COS IT'S FREE!!! And I was the one who decided to run it"

So long as I can have this fab-sounding "X-pansion" to my SH3 and GW (and also NYGM

) playing......I AM ONE HAPPY BUNNY!!

Thank you, GW Team, for all your hard work.

Signed,

One extremely grateful Kaleun

According to UBRS GWX will be out in the second half of december? Thats not a few weeks?

How about this "In a few weeks it will be just a few weeks"

Thanks guys for all your hard work. I for one am very happy you are doing this for us.

Allowing for a user to have a convenient place to dump the GWX files for the sake of picking and choosing does not concern us.

In that case I think you've radically misunderstood what I've said. I have said I have no problem with the requirement GWX be installed intact. I have said I have no problem with the requirement GWX be installed over a clean 1.4b. I just want that clean 1.4b to be somewhere other than the default path. That's it. No deconstruction of GWX is involved.

In my scenario, for which (as I said way back) I purposely keep my default 1.4b pristine, is that I copy that to another folder and subsequently install GWX over the copy. Very simple, very clean. No reinstallation of anything is required.

Really WTF is ur problem....a Path.
I have 3 Installations on my computer
I have 3 Icons on my Desktop
3 Icons that lead to the right Path
Launching is no problem
and why do u care where its installed anyway? really wtf!

and now most of the Auto installers are ''Default path'' some others let u choose
live with what you get an stfu about it.

Hope you don't mind me asking but do you launch a particular version of the game by clicking on the associated icon ? The answer is important to me as I have 1 version on my Computer and 2 on my external Hard Drive but do not have a stock SHIII with 1.4 [I accidentally deleted it] Basically, I have 3 Frankenstein Monsters then killed the creator ! .. and .. I can't bring him back to life; when I put the DVD in and try to install or repair, I get error messages so I will wait until the GWX release then take it from there.

Several things. He´ll be back in seven days.

mr chris · 11-01-06, 12:51 PM

Well i look forward to next thursday it will be a duller place without him around.

It is a shame he is in the brig for seven days for speaking his mind. That is if he is in the brig for what he posted on this thread?

First of all when I reinstalled my computer I installed 1 Fresh SH3 installation.
and that one I copied/Paste 2 times in the same folder but with different names
Before Pasting change the name of the Original Folder first to SH3 Stock or else Windows will ask to Overwrite that map

1.SH3 Stock
2.SH3 +MM (MM = Minor Mods)
3.SH3 GW

I copied 3 Icons on the Desktop with the corresponding names
Sh3 Stock
Sh3 MM
Sh3 GW

first they are pointing to the same SH3 folder , so you right click
select Properties and then you change the Target to for example
"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3GW\sh3.exe"
and the Start In field
"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3GW\"

Gibbs sent the moderator (Gizz) a PM quoting some arguing in this thread: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...084#post337084

Gibbs meant that as "reporting a bad post", which is fine. But Gizzmoe didn't know that, he thought Gibbs sent the PM by mistake, that is was meant for "thepoon", so Gizz replied "Wrong address"

Instead of explaining, Gibbs fired back some very rude and unacceptable remarks aimed personally at Gizz. Gibbs has been asked in the past to be more cordial, by me and other mods. It's just not helpful for people to abuse other people in PM.

mr chris · 11-01-06, 01:39 PM

Thanks Neal for letting us know the details of what he done wrong.

WilhelmSchulz. · 11-01-06, 03:20 PM

oh. I was starting to get the felling that the mods just suspend people for jolies. I was wrong.

I still use floppy disks! I am a writer, and large portions of text fits just nicely on a floppy. (No, I am not ashamed :rotfl

On topic:

Looking foreward to GWX and countless hours of hunting.

Agh ... waiting just plain sucks, it always does.
