In Commander itself. They never show up in the game itself iirc.

As Frau Kaleun said, once they're in the Commander log they will show up in-game if you reopen that screen.





All that said, I'm trying to think why the details wouldn't be showing up for you.

Actually I didn't say that, or at least I didn't mean it, since I always forget that you can actually see that stuff in the game screens once you exit and reload your career with the updated logs. It didn't even occur to me that he might mean "in the game" and not just in Commander until you mentioned it.

Judging from his last post, he's not seeing the updated logs in Commander either. Which explains why they're not in the game screens, but nothing else. Especially if he's updating Personnel Files first, since that should take care of it.

@Wintahs: sorry for another obvious question, but you do have the Use Real Ship Names options checked, correct? That's the only other thing I can think of.

Well, that's more than I thought of.

@ Steve: If the option is checked, and the names are there, the rest of it should also get added by default, right? There's nothing you have to do to the ShipNames.cfg file to make that happen, I know there are some tweaks you can select/deselect by editing the actual file but I didn't think that was one of them. Don't have a copy of the file to look at on this computer or I'd check it.

What version of Commander are you using? I think only the latest, 3.2, adds the details.

Hmm, that's a problem then.

Yeah, I don't know what to blame it on now. I'm wavering between Bush and sunspots.

If you are already using SH3 Commander, select the Use Real Ship Names option.

After you finish a patrol and exit the game, open Commander and update your kaleun's Personnel File. That will update the record of his individual career AND populate your game patrol logs with real ship data.

If you want to fill in even more data yourself, you can use Commander's utility for editing your patrol logs.

Any information added to the logs by Commander or by you manually using Commander is written into the game's files for your career and logs, so when you relaunch the game and go back to look at previous patrol logs in the game screen, the added info shows up there too.

^^^ True. Just remember that all that takes place after the patrol is over. You still can't write in the log while playing the game. I write it all down by hand as it happens, then type up a copy in Commander and a copy for myself to keep in my files.

Sorry to jump in but when I click the update personel file I get an "invalid arguement to date encode" message. Also when I try to add a new entry in the log it adds the new entry above the last entry. I'm using Silent Hunter Gen as well (is this causing a conflict?).
