Need help with determining mods to use

Kaptain Kanada · 09-12-2011, 12:24 PM

Which mod makes the log show ship names, cargo, crew lost etc. I have sh3 commander and it's not doing that. I'm dling the merchant fleet mod soon so will that do it?
I'm thinking perhaps I'm doing something wrong on my end?
I have vmod installed without any other mods.
I also have a clean install with sh3 commander.
I do not use GWX or anything like that as of yet.
I do have JSGME and it does its job.
I'd really like to see a better log than just date time type tonnage position.

Sorry if this is common knowledge but I just started using mods last week and I haven't found anything that does this so far.

It is indeed SH3 Commander, and only SH3 Commander, that gives the names, cargoes and crews. Do you have Commander properly installed? It needs to go outside of SH3 in its own folder.

Also, even if it is installed properly the names don't show up in your SH3 log during the game. You have to finish the patrol and then open Commander again and look at the captain's profile. The information will appear in the log in SH3 Commander. After that if you go back into the game the info will also show up in the regular SH3 patrol log. You can also edit the Commander log to say what you want, and then that will also show up in SH3.

Ahh, yes that's it!

I did finish the patrol and whatnot but I did not exit the game to view commander afterwords.

I'll test that when I get home today.

Thanks

Oh, and I left a comment on your sig over in the 'Petition For The SDK' thread, so I won't repeat it here.

She's working like a charm!

Also, that link isn't working for me atm, mind just telling me what to look up?

Sorry, I forgot some people can't get YouTube.

Hopefully this link to their homepage will work. If not, look for "Celtae - Merchant Marine".

Good song! I love folk so this will certainly be added to my ipod.

Which is also the reason the link didn't work, Ipods are junk at viewing youtube.

Mod is all up and running but I spent time in the drydocks so my old careers can't get personal files. Looks like I'll be starting yet another one
