7 Zip

thehiredgun · 09-28-09, 12:25 AM

Does anyone know how to use the 7 zip to extract a supermod for SH3? I have tried everything & it keeps saying can't extract this archive.

Never had any problem with 7-zip. Maybe the file ist corrupt. Did you check integrity ?

@ thehiredgun:

First you need to have the 7zip tool available here as a free download=

http://www.7-zip.org/

(Run the 7zip program and install it on your PC.)

Then you can right-click on documents compressed with 7zip OR win.rar ... then scroll to "7zip" and then "extract files here."

What Supermod?

What is the file extension?

I have only ever had that error message when trying to extract a file that, while defaulted (icon shows as archive) to an extraction program, the file is not a extractable archive......

Oh, lets say you were trying to extract the GWX *.bin files for example.

Also, 7-Zip is not always a skeleton key for archives, sometimes other compression programs are required.

I have that download but when I click right to extract here it still says can not open file c\documents & settings\owner\desktop\War Ace Campaign 3.17z as archive. The file I am trying to get extracted is WarAceCampaigngn.317z001 That has 3 in it & the other is 6 files of LSH3_version7z001

7-Zip files that have numerical extensions like 001, 002, 003 are split archives. All parts need to be contained within the same folder.

However, if one of those parts are corrupted, then none of the archive will extract. Were any MD5 codes given for each part and try running a test on the archive (it might tell you which part is problematic).

Are you talking about War Ace Campaign or LSH3 or the zip files? You can not just open the LSH3 game. I tried. I need help with this zip files.

Do not download WAC 4.1. I am testing it and it is not for public right now. Files are password protected.

You can download LSH3 here.

There is a readme.pdf how to install LSH3. If you read this pdf you will understand how 7.zip works.

Ok this is how you do it Download all 6 parts to a temp folder called LSH4 in your Documents
Once you have all 6 parts point to the file Called LSH3_Version4.7z001 and right click it.
If you have installed 7zip you will see a 7zip short cut with an arrow if you point to this another set of options will appear chose OPEN ARCHIVE.
Click on the SilentHunterIII file so as to highlight it and then on the blue line that has the word extract under it.
Then it’s just a matter of pressing ok.

IF …you get a error message saying something about JSGME not installing then install it yourself and then repeat the steps up above

Remember Living Silent Hunter 3 is a Supermod and will not be friendly to any other version so you need a clean version of SH3 to use it.

Do I open & extract the whole foler or them seperatley into the SH3 file or the SH3 mod file?

Download JSGME if you don't have it.

Put the jsgme_setup.exe C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII.

Start jsgme_setup.exe it will install a JSGME.exe.

Double click on it (install) and it will make a folder MODS.

Put the supermod LSH3 or NYGM etc. in the folder MODS.

Start JSGME.exe and on the left side you will see the supermod.

Click on the supermod (left side) and click on > to enable the mod.

If you want to disable the mod click (when it is on the right side) the << sign.
