23rdDecember patch

Vanishingpoint · 01-18-07, 05:04 PM

Another simple ? question from a novice :

Downloaded the 23rd dec patch which is a 7z file (what the hell is a 7z file !!!). Now what .....? Tried to extract to mods folder in jgsme using winzip - doesnt recognize. What am I obviously doing wrong ?.

I thought I was fairly intelligent - 41/uni degree/two cars/loving wife etc etc. However, since I entered the broadband age and started actually downloading, I did not realise how easy it was to attain veeeeerrrrryyyyyy high blood pressure.

Shall read any replies after lying down with cuppa and rich tea biccy !!!.

First of all you need to download the 7z from here it's free http://www.7-zip.org/

Once you have the patch put it inside the C\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3\MODS directory. After that you enable it with JSGME. Just make sure the folder structure is C\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3\MODS\Dec-Patch\data etc and not C\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3\MODS\Dec-Patch\Dec-Patch\data etc

To enable it you must disable all other mods you have and enable it first. After that you can enable all the mods you need. If you need to see how to use JSGME check out these tutorials http://forums.ubi.com/eve/ubb.x/a/tp...3/r/4231040223 and http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?p=1009484

Can I install the updates on patrol or do I have to return to port?

Return to port first
Rollback SH3commander - if you use it
Disable any mods through JSGME
Enable Dec 23rd patch
Re enable any of your favourite mods

Done

ALWAYS BE IN PORT WHEN ALTERING ANYTHING

Sorry about the size, but thats just as important as:

STAY AWAY FROM DER KANAL

Edit: Go away, Wooly! You are stalking me :rotfl:
