MultiSh4 and add-on

swdw · 03-01-08, 04:39 PM

Because some people want to run the addon but keep their older install for the current mods, I've seen some questions on this.

Also saw a post where MultiSH4 does not work with 1.5 . . . but there is a workaround.

Copy your 1.4 install to create a second install and point that to a new save game folder using MultiSH4 per the instructions.

AFTER that is done, patch the original install and let it save to the default folder. I'm running a 1.4 and 1.5 version with no problems after doing it this way.

Just wanted to post the same thing...yeah it's working perfectly this way.

One 1.5 running, unmodified so far.
One 1.4, fully modified.

I also managed to keep my running 1.4 USN-career active, in 1.5:

- just make sure you are back in port, and then backup your SH4-folder that is in MyDoc.
- Install addon, run it once to create a new entry in MyDoc...(I do this, by disabling the ingame-music...hit Apply, and exit game)
- overwrite this new SH4-folder, with the one from your backup.

Now your career, and all save-games and settings are carried over to 1.5
