Info I learned the hard way to do... & passing it on so others don't have to learn it that way...

As it is, no need to really do a whole lot of in game saves... best if you can avoid doing so... just My .02 cents worth on that subject... unlike SH4, which does game save housekeeping getting rid of older game saves as they add up until a point in which then the housekeeper comes out & tidies up the folder.. only keeping the most current saves , sadly SH3 doesn't.

Hope this info helps.

Thank you both. Im docked up and now trying to get the mods working. backng up the career and save files too

Maybe sure the 4GB patch is installed. If you don't have sufficient RAM, MFM *will* cause CTDs.

Also it *will* take up to 10 minutes to activate the main MFM in JSGME. The skin packs install much quicker.

Anyone have a working link to the skin packs for MFM v3.3?

Well good news. I definitely got the 4 gig patch. When I started messing with this 2 weeks ago I screwed up the hard coded fixes install and had to re do it last weekend. Last night I got a majority of the mods installed that I wanted to get installed but had one bug.
I discovered it when I found an enemy task force of 3 or 4 destroyers, 2 or 3 battleships, and 2 or 3 cruisers. I crash dived like any sane commander would especially when they are shooting at you lol. Then the problem struck. I kept diving and couldn't keep depth without a very high bell. I had to emergency blow just to maintain depth which didn't work. Started a single player mission just to verify it wasn't me doing something wrong. Same thing happened. Went back to my mod list, removed bottom repair mod and Tmt. And everything worked fine after. Kinda wish I could get them working too but pretty sure I got two things doing the same thing to cause it

Hi there, I edited Iambecomelife's MFM 3.3 to work with Onealex's popular compilation mod (its not my mod so I figured i'd post this here instead of making a new thread). Just copy to MODS folder and enable through JSGME.
What I did was:

1. Removed the ships and entries from MFM 3.3 that Onealex already fixed and added to his mod. Also removed all the neutral X ships as it caused too much load time and redundant same ship models.

2. A lot of models had A&B variations (A for American roster and B for British roster) but they were the same exact model and specs so what I did was delete the A entries and added the B.cfg entries to the American Roster folder to lessen the mod weight and loading time (currently 7-10 mins to load patrol depending on what year of the war). Model M31B had issues working so I replaced with same model M31X.

3. Museum does work and loads in around same time as original Onealex (15 mins) but be warned it still can cause crashes if you scroll through it too fast.

4. I kept the skin packs out (a lot of those skin pack folders were empty and half complete anyways) but if you want to use them then go ahead and enable after MFM in jsgme.

If anyone has CTD's then let me know what date, location in game etc where it happened. It is still iambecomelife's mod and files from 5 years ago so odd crashes may happen once in a while. I usually found them to be at port near uboat bunker but out at sea and attacking convoys all seems fine as I start my patrols from sea using SH3 commander option.

P.S. I'm in talks with Toyotagt86 and he's looking at ways to get MFM working with his compilation as well.

.......awaiting feedback

The mod is available there.

I've uploaded the copy I have of MFM v3.3 to a server (MEGA). It will be available for a few days, then I'll remove it.

I've checked that the 2 files you got corrupted are OK in this copy.

Hope this works for you.

OOOPS, nevermind, FUBAR was faster than me
