DESCRIPTION
SH3 Patrol Log Editor is a plug-in for SH3 Commander R3. It allows you to add unique entries to your Silent Hunter III patrol logs. The unique entries will display in both Silent Hunter III and in Personnel Files created through SH3 Commander.

You must have SH3 Commander R3 installed in order to run SH3 Patrol Log Editor.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Simply unzip directly into your SH3 Commander folder. When you next run SH3 Commander you will notice a new action titled 'Review patrol logs...'. Selecting it will load SH3 Patrol Log Editor.

WHERE TO WITH THIS?
The editor is quite basic at the moment, so I have deliberately released it outside of SH3 Commander in order to allow it to be updated as your suggestions and ideas come forward...and my time allows. So, as always, post your feedback here.

I should also point out that if anyone else wants to create an even fancier editor, feel free. I'll happily advise what needs to be done to make it a compatible SH3 Commander plug-in.

And LASTLY, pls keep in mind that this is a post-patrol editor. It allows you to edit your patrol log *after* you have completed a patrol. You will need to record any during-patrol comments elsewhere, say in Notepad, and add to your patrol log via the editor once finalised.

Thank you.

[JScones]

Cool. :up: I guess at some point I'll add an "import" option so output from stuff like this can be effortlessly imported straight into the logs via the editor.

Which reminds me - another thing players can do is save their game just before final docking.

Then they can open their save game's .crp file and copy and paste the significant entries, like weather reports (assuming they called for them in game), or ship sightings or whatever, as new log entries via the editor.

In fact, my original intention was to grab the .crp file and filter out all the rubbish, leaving behind just the relevant stuff. But alas, time was the problem.

[JScones]

Hmmm...expanding on my point above, I guess I could write a separate mid-patrol editor that players could use during the patrol and then when finished they could save and then import via this editor.

That way players who take hand written notes will be happy with what they have now, but players who prefer to record notes electronically while they play (via alt-tabbing) will benefit from being able to quickly import them directly into the patrol log via this editor.

Perhaps just a text file in format

yyyymmdd,hhmm,eventstring1
yyyymmdd,hhmm,eventstring2
etc
Means that players won't even need a special tool to do it if they don't want to - just Notepad and some discipline would be sufficient. Heck, even Excel or any spreadsheet that saves to csv or tab limited format would work fine; I won't even need to write a specific tool then (bonus :)).

But I'll only consider an import function if enough players want it...

[melnibonian]

Jaesen this is a fantastic tool. I'm sure loads of people will find it very useful.

Thanks a lot for all your efforts and support to the community :up:

On my last patrol, I Alt-tab to desktop and kept a running log in notepad with entries every day. For appearances, I felt the entries should not exceed 30 or 40 characters; and each line must be followed by | not period (.)
At the end of the patrol, I then copied and pasted the notepad log entries into the patrol log.
I ended with a detailed, day by day log, followed by ship sinking dates, ship names, time of sinking, tonnage, and then the partol summary.
All in all a very satisfactory log.

Great work, JSCones; thanks.

Thanks.

FYI if you start recording your notepad entries in a format like this:


19400125,130,"Grid AN 44|This is a real event"
19400125,1211,"Grid AN 54|Another real event"
19400128,2200,"Grid AN 54|Real event, number 3"
19400129,1715,"Grid AL 24|Real event 4"

you'll be able to import them in bulk with the next release of the editor.

Alternatively, you can use any tool that allows export to comma or tab delimited files (in other words I'm no longer planning on developing a dedicated tool just for this task).

Thanks for this addition to an already excellent SH3 Commander 3.However i cannot help but ask if there is some way by which log entries could have been made within the game itself so as to increase the immersion factor.

Thanks again!

Source code needed.

[JScones]

Well, I guess I was expecting more complaints or problems with the editor, but as all seems fine (either that or no-one is using it), I guess I won't wait any longer to release v1.1.

v1.1 includes the previously promised import feature. It also includes a spreadsheet template set up specifically to help you get the most out of the import feature. If you plan on using the spreadsheet, please (in pleading voice) read the instructions first; the spreadsheet even opens up with them on display.

If anyone wants to develop their own mid-patrol log editor, pls feel free. If you provide the ability to save the contents in comma or tab delimited format, with the structure YYYYMMDD,HMM,event text (pls use common delimiter conventions) then the patrol log editor will pick them up and treat them as SH3Cmdr entries.

If you cannot get your entries to import properly, post the csv file contents here and I'll point out the problem(s).

[Gairith]

Most excellent, Thanks Jaeson! :up:
Use the template that Jaeson provides, excellent work Sir!

I actually have a small request about the format of the KTB and the usability of the editor. It's concenrning both the editor and SH3Cmdr actually.

Right now the second column reads only "Planquadrat" according to two fotos of real u-boat logs I've seen (pic below) the second column should read "Angabe des Ortes, Wind, Wetter, Seegang, Beleuchtung, Sichtigkeit der Luft, Mondschein, usw."
Meaning "Location, wind, weather, sea state, lighting, visibility, moon light, etc"
The last column is ok again "Vorkommnisse".
Actually I'd like to be able to manually edit the titles of those columns. This way they are adjustable and you don't have to change them. And I can add something that is important to myself.. I use a Fraktur font, which has a special character for the 2nd Fraktur "s" which is not the one used at the end of a word, so right now the ss in Vorkomnisse is wrong, which I could correct if the title was editable :P
Anyway... that would just be a bonus.
About the second column.. with the change of the title also comes the need to be able to put location AND weather report two the second column. Right now only the first line is added to that column, the rest appears in the last column. The first two might be better. Any way to make that and still have it appear nice in the ingame log too?

Also it would be nice if one could have a title of the KTB (as displayed in the book "Auf Feindfahrt mit U-170 und Ritterkreuzträger Rudolf Mühlbauer" by Ulrich Lange).
The tile reads:

GEHEIME KOMMANDOSACHE

K r i e g s t a g e b u c h

* U 170 *

4. Unternehmung


Kommandant:

Ob.Lt.z.S.d.R. H a u b e r

SECRET DOCUMENT

* U ### *

Ended: D. M. YYYY


Right now such a title is not quite possible because if made it will appear in the SH3Cmdr generated log with a date next to it like a normal entry. The possibility for a seperate first entry like above would be nice.

About the weather, it seems that a standard weather entry looked something like this:

W: OSO 2, S: 1, sehr gute Sicht

which was in long form:

Wind: [rough compass direction] [wind strength beaufort scale], Sea: [seastate beaufort scale], [visibility: very good, good, medium, bad]

It was in several documents roughly like this, never completely the same, I'd recommend probably adding something about moon phase and rain in there.
Or leave it completely open to the player to write it up himself without a standard way of generating it in the log editor.

Also.. the log editor automatically sorts the entries.. but it doesn't always keep the screen on the last entered entry.. I have to scroll around a lot in there.
Also it would be nicer to be able to edit the entries where they are, not first mark them and then edit them in a special edit place. More like in a normal text editor, I don't know, the usuability right now is a bit rough.

Also I once lost all entries because I switched to patrol log 2 before pressing "save" on log 3. if the player switches logs, please add a warning message asking the player to save the old log first or something.



These comments are all meant as requests and productive criticism. I'm a programmer myself so I know how hard it is to make the user interface of a tool really well :P So I tried to give as much input as possible.
The tool is for me right now not so useful, I like to edit the logs with a text editor right now, and I tried to summarize why and how to improve the interface so it comes closer to a really well experience :)

If you have any questions about some of my suggestions/critical points, please ask :)
Otherwise thanks so far for your tools, I begin to really really like SH3Cmdr :) Just started to use it recently.


Oh.. and a last question.. if automatic rollback is activated and SH3 crashes instead of being left by normal means.. will SH3Cmdr still do its rollback?

[Murr44]

Hi Jaesen:
I just wanted to say that your SH III add-ons are really appreciated.:up: As far I'm concerned Ubi ought to be paying you for giving SH III a new lease on life (that isn't going to happen I know). Just my 2 cents...:)

[JScones]

Right now the second column reads only "Planquadrat" according to two fotos of real u-boat logs I've seen (pic below) the second column should read "Angabe des Ortes, Wind, Wetter, Seegang, Beleuchtung, Sichtigkeit der Luft, Mondschein, usw."
Meaning "Location, wind, weather, sea state, lighting, visibility, moon light, etc"
The last column is ok again "Vorkommnisse".
There were many variations in KTB format. While the majority utilise similar text to your examples, there were numerous other formats adopted throughout the course of the war. The format I have adopted is based on a ~1942/3 variant (btw this is explained here in the forum archives) which uses columns titled "Tag/Uhrzeit", "Ort/Wetter", and "Verkommnisse". By this stage too, Fraktur fonts had been replaced by Antiqua fonts, as directed by Hitler in Jan 41.

This variant better fits SH3's limitations, which have still seen the need for "Ort/Wetter" to become simply "Planquadrat", as defined in the game's de_menu.txt.

Remember, SH3Cmdr must remain true to SH3 and cannot assume that everybody is using a patrol log editor. ;)

However, you can easily change this by editing your de_menu.txt file, string #4272. Just keep in mind that what you enter will prolly show up in the game somewhere else (most likely as a part of the ship sunk/aircraft destroyed entries).

FYI though, despite the inclusion of "Wetter", the majority of the examples I've seen in this format list nothing but patrol grid in this column. Lazy buggers.

And also, by late 1943 some Kaleuns were adopting the approach outlined by Doenitz during 1943 (or was it 1942, can't remember now), that is, free form "story telling" (ie the same format as Doenitz's own war diary).

Actually I'd like to be able to manually edit the titles of those columns. This way they are adjustable and you don't have to change them. And I can add something that is important to myself.. I use a Fraktur font, which has a special character for the 2nd Fraktur "s" which is not the one used at the end of a word, so right now the ss in Vorkomnisse is wrong, which I could correct if the title was editable :P
Titles are editable. :P

Change "Planquadrat" as indicated above. Change "Datum und Uhrzeit" and "Vorkommnisse" by editing lines 240 and 241 in SH3Cmdr_de.txt (located in your SH3Cmdr folder). While you're there, feel free to change any other text you want. ;)

The patrol log editor will still add <Grid>|<Entry> by default when you click "Add New", but that's not a problem and I can change that to be more generic in a later version. Just replace <Grid> with what you want to show in the second column.

Just keep in mind that for the "ship sunk" and "aircraft destroyed" entries, added by SH3, it's the second block of text that is placed in the second column.

About the second column.. with the change of the title also comes the need to be able to put location AND weather report two the second column. Right now only the first line is added to that column, the rest appears in the last column. The first two might be better. Any way to make that and still have it appear nice in the ingame log too?
I don't see a critical problem with it as it is now:

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/3686/ktbjj4.gif (http://imageshack.us)

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/5329/patlogkt4.gif (http://imageshack.us)

Achieved by making one heading change as outlined above and tweaking each entry text through the patrol log editor as outlined above.

Granted the grid and weather are on the same line, which tended not to occur in RL, but again, this is nothing critical. Certainly not worth releasing a new version of SH3Cmdr just for a one character change. ;)

(Bear in mind I have resized the SH3Cmdr KTB screen)

Also it would be nice if one could have a title of the KTB (as displayed in the book "Auf Feindfahrt mit U-170 und Ritterkreuzträger Rudolf Mühlbauer" by Ulrich Lange).
The tile reads:

<snip>

Right now such a title is not quite possible because if made it will appear in the SH3Cmdr generated log with a date next to it like a normal entry. The possibility for a seperate first entry like above would be nice.

Yes, and I'd like to include all 50 odd pages of the Wehrpass. ;) There comes a point of compromise though. And having each patrol log link through such a title page would become laborious for many users very quickly, IMHO.

However, you can change the heading from "KTB" to anything you want though - within reason.

About the weather, it seems that a standard weather entry looked something like this:

W: OSO 2, S: 1, sehr gute Sicht

which was in long form:

Wind: [rough compass direction] [wind strength beaufort scale], Sea: [seastate beaufort scale], [visibility: very good, good, medium, bad]

It was in several documents roughly like this, never completely the same, I'd recommend probably adding something about moon phase and rain in there.
Or leave it completely open to the player to write it up himself without a standard way of generating it in the log editor.
I have no intention of forcing a standard onto SH3 players. Were they Kriegsmarine officers, perhaps. But forcing the average player to record moon phase, or any other entry, when real Kriegsmarine officers were not forced to do so, well, that's going a bit too far.

It will stay as free form for players to enter what they want, how they want; just like a blank piece of paper. Everybody's happy then. :up:

Also.. the log editor automatically sorts the entries.. but it doesn't always keep the screen on the last entered entry.. I have to scroll around a lot in there.
Yep, that's on my "fix" list. :up:

Also it would be nicer to be able to edit the entries where they are, not first mark them and then edit them in a special edit place. More like in a normal text editor, I don't know, the usuability right now is a bit rough.
Pls remember, as I have said all along, that this tool is a quick and dirty way to allow easy editing of the player's patrol logs, borne out of regularly appearing threads titled "How can I edit my patrol logs".

In fact, total development time so far has been less than one hour.

I actually envisaged the editor, although all my experience says otherwise, as merely a prototype to inspire some other developer with more time on his hands to create a more robust editor. All they need to do is ensure a few minor rules are followed and their tool becomes fully compatible with SH3Cmdr. Other than that, how far they take it, ie to also be a mid-patrol editor, is up to them.

If only I had the time...

Also I once lost all entries because I switched to patrol log 2 before pressing "save" on log 3. if the player switches logs, please add a warning message asking the player to save the old log first or something.
Yep, that's on my "fix" list. :up:

Thank you. I appreciate constructive input such as this.

I would encourage you to take a little longer to become familiar with the tool though, for its use is only really limited by your imagination. I mean, it took merely a minute to create the above log example.

If you still prefer to edit your logs by hand, then go for it. :up:

Oh.. and a last question.. if automatic rollback is activated and SH3 crashes instead of being left by normal means.. will SH3Cmdr still do its rollback?
Yes. It's used to handling SH3 CTDs caused through one way or another. ;)

[Sailor Steve]

Brilliant! Just lovely. Now we even have post-game mods.:rock:

[wildchild]

top work again JS as all ways :|\\

[JScones]

Has anyone tried the import function? If so, what was the experience - good, bad, ugly?

I plan one more release just to clean up a few aspects of the code then I'll consider it finished.

[Graf Paper]

I'm still puzzling out how to set the log's font to something custom that's more like real handwriting.

I wish you had made the editor with a drop box to choose the font and then have SH3 Commander set that as the logbook font in the game. My brain is bewildered! :doh:

I also noticed that you have to add entries in order. You can't go back and insert a new entry previous to the last new entry you add ( or does that only affect entries with the same day but different times? ). :-?

Still a masterful work, regardless. You are, without a doubt, the Grand Master of all SH3 Modding, Jaesen! :rock:

In the editor? It's just a dumb text editor aimed to make adding and editing patrol log entries easier. It's not meant to be a pretty logbook or anything; just a text editor (otherwise I'd have called it something like "SH3 Kriegstagebuch" and wrapped it up in an authentic interface like SH3Cmdr's - would be nice, but time...). SH3Cmdr does the pretty graphical work when you generate a Personnel File. *That's* the output. And that's why you set the display fonts in SH3Cmdr.

I also noticed that you have to add entries in order. You can't go back and insert a new entry previous to the last new entry you add ( or does that only affect entries with the same day but different times? ). :-?
When you add an entry it defaults to the patrol's start date and time. You can then change that to whatever you want and the editor will re-sort it to the right spot.

The only limitations are that you cannot change the date or time on entries that you did not add yourself nor can you add entries before the patrol's start date/time or after the patrol's end date/time. This is simply to maintain integrity and compatibility with default SH3 mechanics.

Now, if you add two entries with the exact date and time, then they are sorted in the order that you added them, for continuity reasons (ie message continuations).

So unless you are entering multiple entries with the same date *and* time, you do not have to add in order.

[JScones]

OK, I've u/l v1.2. Works for me, does what I want it to do, so in the absence of any further bug reports, I'll consider this project now finished.

Enjoy. :up:

[dmlavan]

JSCones,
Just came back to SH3 again (I bounce back and forth between SH4 - SH3/GWX keeps drawing me back to it) and I find this. Absolutely brilliant - adds another great piece of immersion. Thanks (yet again) for your hard work :up:

[Sailor Steve]

I was playing around with the editor last night, having a great time! I just set sail from Kiel, went across the harbor and ended the patrol. My logbook says that in 30 minutes I sank 5 ships and shot down 23 airplanes!:rotfl:

On a serious note, after reading that it also saves to the SH3 logbook, I'm thinking of dumping that typewriter font I found and going back to something handwritey-looking. Hand-written in Commander, typed in SH3; best of both worlds.:sunny:

cool. I'm looking forward to giving this a try. Anyone with the coding talent that can create a mod that will allow us to edit logs mid patrol would be cool.

Some way to log 'damaged' ships would be nice to. Or a way to automatically log the results of each torp fired. Was it a dud? did it 'miss'? or did it hit and go boom?

"I should also point out that if anyone else wants to create an even fancier editor, feel free. I'll happily advise what needs to be done to make it a compatible SH3 Commander plug-in."
