Now I am about to find out if there was a good reason I didn't update all those years ago when I last played but which I have now forgotten. Time to break out WinMerge and compare configuration files...

Just a comment on my own play. I'm in the habit of running multiple careers side by side. One of them started in August, and someone showed me this:
http://www.uboatarchive.net/BDUKTB.htm

I use Commander to assign myself one of the boats that historically left Wilhelmshaven on August 19th. I do a "false patrol" on the 1st, cruising around the harbor for fun, and then set up the boat the way I want it. I set 'Days In Base' to '18', which allows me to leave on the 19th. I also go the long way around, as they were ordered to, and then wait for the war to begin. After that I reset 'Days In Base' to 'Random' and let it have its way. All in fun, of course.

But that's just me.

Hi,

I've just downloaded SH3 Commander (S3C). I have a few questions before using it, because i don't want to corrupt all my precious mods ! So, here they are :

1. Where is located the SH3 Commander folder ?

2. Before changing game options with S3C, should I disable first all my mods installed with JSGME ?

3. When I do a "rollback" of SH3, does it mean that I will then have to reset all the S3C parameters ? How is it with files that I have put in the SH3 Commander folder (like GWX Skin Pack which is a huge folder !!!!!) ?

4. Can I change S3C parameters when playing a career ?

Sorry if some of my questions seem a little stupid, i'm just a newbie..... so be kind with me.

Uboatarchive is a wonderful resource.

I've been using it as a primary source for researching typical crew composition (differs from stock, RUB, or SH3 commander "realistic" crews, all of which, for instance, have too many torpedo personnel), historical patrol grid assignments, and some equipment details.

I'm going to have to go through all those standing orders, someday soon.

I take a similar approach. Usually one career active at a time per active in-game flotilla. We need that short cruise at the beginning of a career to be able to change boat equipment afterwards (so renown isn't lost on the first patrol) and to get promoted to ObLt.z.S. I also set Days in Base to a fixed amount when I want to force a departure date.

It is whereever you downloaded it or installed it to.

Not necessary.

3. When I do a "rollback" of SH3, does it mean that I will then have to reset all the S3C parameters ?

No, SH3 Commander will re-add them when you next start a game with it.

How is it with files that I have put in the SH3 Commander folder (like GWX Skin Pack which is a huge folder !!!!!) ?

I don't understand the question.

4. Can I change S3C parameters when playing a career ?

Yes but avoid doing so when your boat is at sea, unless the help file says you can.

Heyyy ! Thank you very much for answer !

About the GWX Skin Pack, i mean : when you rollback SH3, is this S3C mod uninstalled ? Because if yes, it will take much time, as this is a huge mod ! ... And i would like to rollback everytime i close SH3 ........ you see the problem ?

I have another question :in SH3 option.cfg, you can choose the CRUSH DEPTH. What does mean upper and lower ? For example, if the crush depth is 175 m, then how is it randomized ? Current settings are : Upper=1, Lower=0.9. I don't understand.....

And a last one : do i need to launch SH3 everytime with SH3Commander (i mean if i don't rollback everytime) ?

Excuse me for my questions..... i want just understand well how all this works !

It depends on how the mod was installed. I don't have the mod, so I can't be sure. If you installed the mod with JSGME or by copying the files into the SH3 data folder tree, then it will not be uninstalled every time you roll back SH3 Commander.

Because if yes, it will take much time, as this is a huge mod ! ... And i would like to rollback everytime i close SH3 ........ you see the problem ?

problem understood

I have another question :in SH3 option.cfg, you can choose the CRUSH DEPTH. What does mean upper and lower ? For example, if the crush depth is 175 m, then how is it randomized ? Current settings are : Upper=1, Lower=0.9. I don't understand.....

I think it means that the maximum possible random value will be 1 times 175m, and the minimum will be 0.9 times 175m (157.5m). SH3 commander will randomly pick a crush depth between those two. You won't know the precise crush depth unless you get crushed, and that is the point - sub commanders didn't know at exactly what depth their hull would fail.

And a last one : do i need to launch SH3 everytime with SH3Commander (i mean if i don't rollback everytime) ?

You don't need to launch every time with SH3 Commander. If you have not rolled back, then when you launch without SH3 Commander, all the changes made by SH3 Commander the last time you launched with it will still be in effect. However, you will miss out on any date-based changes that SH3 Commander would apply to your different starting date.

Excuse me for my questions..... i want just understand well how all this works !

It is by asking question, and by answering them, that we learn. This is a helpful community. Give back to it what you can, when you can.

Hey, I am looking to download SH3 Commander, but the links given give me errors. Is there any other place to download it, or does someone have a different download link (such as mediafire, etc.)?

Not a problem. Sometimes I can't find my own head!

First of all press the "Roll Back Buttom" in SH3_Commander. And tart the career information again.

Greetings
