options|career options|set numbers of days spent in base to: 4

Now SH3 Commander should load all files til "05.06.40".

"After Sunday June 2, 1940.":

I agree to Wreford Brown´s statement, that neither SH3 nor SH3 Commnander store any mid-patrol data besides the player´s own saves. But these saves were used by none of both, that´s why information ist restricted to "After...".

But obviously, SH Commander adds the numbers of days in base to that patrol date, what i found out when i was messing around with your torpedo.sim and La Vache´s code lines for the radomized_events.cfg.

In general, i would prefer the idea which stands behind SH3 commander because of the automatism instead of manual using JSGME every time, when files have to be exchanged. As most of us see and play SH3 as a sim, few will finish a whole patrol in one evening, so you have to quit and thus to save the game anyway after some ingame days. So updating the Commander isn´t a big thing when restarting the game.

Btw. La vache´s controling of the torpedo.sim via Commander "WAD" if you use the above mentioned updating procedure.

Hi Leitender,

Thanx for the input, but I have managed to deduce all of this, and as a result, I am going to be implementing a fix for JFO! v 2.0. I have written a small .exe that will place the appropriate .tga files into a directory you choose based on the current save game you want to use. The code is basically finished, and I am currently testing it to make sure it works. Once La vache has finished his German translation, and I have incorporated it into the mod, I will be releasing the new version.

Thanx for the input! I hope you like the mod!
