Bugs in sh3

Sgt_Raa · 07-19-10, 11:53 PM

i started a new carreer the other day so im back in 39... sailed to my grid ref for patrol only finding one merchant.
started to head home found a total of 6 more merchants... sunk em all... got detected by a dd and depth charged so i went to send crew to damage control using the auto sort buttons and CRASH!... CTD!!!!!!!

This happened to anyone else?..
im told this is a known bug so is there a fix for it?

This is a bug from when the game first came out, and has never been fixed. It is hard coded so we can't fix it with a mod either.

You can send a group of crew to a compartment in one go. Select the destination section, then right-click on the compartmnt with the crew. Or it is the other way around, I allways forget this. But this is the idea.

I think it is correct, right click on compartment name and OK to man it with crew from quarters, and the same again to send crew to rest (handy if the compartment is taking damage rather than lose your crew). I always end up dragging and dropping crew which seems to take an age, especially if you drop in the wrong place and start again

Check out the post above....I'm not sure either of right or left mouse buttons but it does work....much quicker than dragging men individually.

I'm sure it's right click the compartment name, a box pops up and you then click OK to have the compartment manned.

I sure!

99 % sure!

98 % will somebody quickly check...

You have to right click on one compartment and then left click on the other one, to move everybody back and forth. But I can't remember which compartment gets which click or in which order.

I'm pretty sure it's in the stickied thread for SH3 Hints & Keyboard tricks though.

Hang on, found it:

Left clicking one compartment and then right clicking another will completely fill up the left clicked compartment with crew from the right clicked compartment.

I need to put that trick on a Post-it note and stick it to my monitor. Because I can NEVER remember it in the game. I just keep right- and left-clicking each compartment, back and forth, until I finally hit on the correct combination.

Altho at this point I have enough crew to keep a bunch on damage control all the time. Plus my newb trainee engineering officer what I bought - er, recruited - a coupla patrols ago. I figger I'll let him get all experienced up and then maybe I can let my current chief move on so's Commander will stop nagging me about it.

It's one of those ingame operations that you automatically perform without any prior thought but are nigh on impossible to recall or explain when asked
