KSDCommander

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Sokolov
Follow sober's instructions > Ubisoft\ Silent Hunter 5
From the main game folder open > KSDCommander XMLDocument.
Open it with the notepad.
Look at the third line down and it should look like this:
<User Login="Danya82" Password="???????" AutoConnect="1" />
You should now be able to change the details.
Go to > File.
Select > Save.

That's not work! There are no login or password and when i change, it not help.

Two small requests Warham, if you're still up to the job...

Type VIIC/41F should be displayed in stats as "U-FLaK"...

Also it would be really useful if you could utilize PlayerCurrentRating from CareerTrack.upc file in overall player stats and at the patrol end too ...

[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusLast]
ID=ID
Reason=CSS_LastStatus
NameDisplayable=NULL
CurrentDate=1944-02-20 17:37:09

TotalTonnageSunk=0.000000
MaximumTonnageOnUnitSunk=0.000000
EndBaseIDLink=F6LaPallice
EndFlotillaIDLink=9thFlotilla

These are quite important because they control when will player actually get new sub offer ect.
1 rating point is earned by achieving 1000 renown points (merit, per single patrol) but also can be easily lost by "skinny" patrols with renown lower than 100.

Hi, Vecko! Good idea. I will make it, but can't say when.

Just had an idea about this.
What if you change the color of the "C" navigation fix to clear. Then you can just have your navigator only plot his "D" fix when you want. He still takes the star shots and plots them...its just you cannot see them.

This only works if the "C" and "D" marks are seperate marks.

And the navigator still secretly knows exactly where he is at save game startup.


EDIT......actually I have a better idea........
1. Before you save and shutdown the computer get a DR fix from your navigator.
2. Put a super mark at the DR fix.
3. Shut down.
4. When you return to play load up mission and load up the super Mark from the last save.
5. Now put a NAV Mark there with the navigation marker. Now your navigator will do all DR fixes from this Mark!
6. When he gets good weather he can do a proper celestial fix but until then you can keep the errors he had before you saved and shutdown!
7. Yes the load up accurate fix will still be there but you can just ignore it and role play a little.

What do you think?

Hi Lanzfeld,

both idea seems good, i already did it like in your second idea before, but still was looking for fix, than just workaround.

I see problem with yur first idea, when i plot position by myself its often drawn like celestial one, so this would be hidden too...

I'd appealed to lazy KSD users to delete their old and unused Captains .
Right now, more than 50% of captains in the list are some 0 merits leftovers from test campaigns or something. KSD loading times are getting pretty long because of this...

Omg, there are 312 captains

I can make you app's moderator. You will be able to:
1) Remove the captains of the other players.
2) Edit their diaries.
3) See player's last date of visit.

That would be very nice...

Any news about "rating points" tweak?

Also, how are 0 merit captains arranged in the list? by date of campaign start or random maybe?

EDIT: Can I Assume that highest ranking 0 merit captains are the oldest actually?
