Newbie Questions

Just started SH3, and begun the Naval Academy. I've got three things I'd like to find out -

1. Part of the brief is to navigate S.S.E. Despite doing this the mission prompt says it's incomplete??

2. After I resurface, there is no Watch Officer on the conning tower?

3. Despite the mod not being active, 'Captain Americas' Officer Icons are being used in the game? I even deleted the mod, to no avail?

I'd be glad of any help with these points; I'm sure they are elementary problems, but they're above me at the moment! LOL

System and game/mods in my signature.

Incidentally, with regard to my specs below, do you all think 28 FPS (facing forward on the conning tower, empty ocean) is reasonable or should I be looking to tweak that? It seems not too bad 'in game', I was just wanting your thoughts.

I can answer # 2 easily enough: go to F7 and drag the lazy bastard out of his bunk to the conning tower.

I remember the academy problem of going ESE, had to try it again and it worked. Looking forward to seeing you operational.

Thanks, Brag - F7 must be the shortcut key for a bucket of cold water?? That'll soon get him out his bunk!

I answered #1 myself - if I'd read the radio messages (which I now know how to do! LOL) I'd have discovered I'd to change speed whilst keeping course

So Navigation passed, and one step nearer my licence

That just leaves #3 - anybody??

Thanks again Brag, regards, Gavin.

Did you use JSGME to install it? Uninstall it the same way. The mods files are buried in the SH3 directory when it is installed, and JSGME will pull them back out again. The mod in the "MODS" folder is just the source you're installing it from so deleting it won't change anything.

Capa, I deleted it from the SH3 Commander control panel. After I did that I just double checked in the mod folder to make sure it wasn't there; it wasn't.

I'm new to this and sometimes I'm a bit unsure of what file to save mods/expansions in, so I've probably messed up somewhere! LOL

In your silent hunter III folder you need to have all your mods in the MODS sub folder.

It should look something like this:

C:\Program Files\UbiSoft\SilentHunterIII\MODS

Under that directory the files should be in a folder for that mod as long as it was built to be activated by JSGME. If it wasn't packaged for JSGME you'll need to read the instructions for the mod as to how it needs to be installed.
