Thanks for the new release

Again sorry to bother with the same question, but after reading the readme it does not mention H.Sie's fixes. Can I understand that the Range estimation and Crew rotation features work directly on any SH3 exe file, without any need to use H.Sie's work?

A suggestion for the crew rotation:

It would be nice to see the crew rotate in full watch sections, i.e. in the german UBoats there was a "Port" and a "Starbord" watch, which rotated every 4 hours (I think it was 4, NYGM readme has accurate information about this). Even if the player wants to drag a crewmember around for exceptional situations (Attacks), could you make the crew rotate in those 2 watches

This is a little embarrassing...

I was unaware of Fader_Berg's new work, and I have delivered to H.sie a general purpose Options Selector so that users can toggle on and off the options that he wants from H.sie's patch updates as they become available. (H.sie needs only to change a text file for each upgrade). This program will be released with H.sie's new patch updates for SH3.exe in a week or two.

Naturally, this Option Selector does not contain any of Fader_Berg's work. Indeed, the Option Selector is intended to work only with a *permanently patched* SH3.exe file, so I suppose it would be valueless with Fader-Berg's work anyway.

But I thought that I'd better announce this, so that no one thinks either H.sie or I are trying to negate Fader_Berg's work.

That is what happens when the same kind of work is done in two different threads...

...merged both works together...

Or is this not possible ?

Yes, or at least most of the V1.4 exe-files. You don't need a V15D (h.sie) patched exe-file if you only intend to use features in patSH3r. In this case a range estimation fix and a beta crew rotation fix.

I'll put it on the wishlist and we'll see. I'll have to find a way to track in-game time.

Don't be embarressed. The h.sie patch switching is not a key feature of patSH3r, as I see it. I just added it because it was so simple and I saw there was a need for it. You're more than welcome to bring your own solution to this and I'll drop mine.
