SH3 Commander Crew Reports

[Reinhard Dietz]

OK, so I've got a stock installation of SHIII that's being used along with the titanium release of SH3 Commander. I've pulled back into Kiel after a pleasant 40 days at sea and I check my crew list in the updated personnel file.

In-game and in the "manage your crew" section of SH3C, I see the proper, randomized, names and statistics for my crew. In the crew report, it's 01 SEP 1939 instead of 10 OKT 1039 and I have the default SHIII crew names and so forth.

SH3C's ship names and randomized crew, along with maybe the realistic crew, are the only changes I've made to the default installation. What am I doing wrong here?

That's a good one. If you were using GWX I'd remind you that you start out at the first of August, but I don't think Commander does that by itself.

Did you try exiting the patrol, then loading it again to see what the date in the office is?

Or starting a new patrol to see what the start date is?

Other than that I can't think of a thing.

I have not tried either of those suggestions; I will do so and report back.

The funny thing is that SH3C is perfectly up-to-date where my commander is concerned; as best I can tell, only the crew is strange. It already knows where I'll be going for my next patrol (BF19) and considers the date to be the same day I made port.

NB: Oddly enough, I was in the SH3C crew management panel as I was typing this and hit 'Crew List'; it has generated a list that's dated the right time and has the right names. Apparently, the one that was created when I created my SH3C commander's file was never updated until just then. Problem solved, I suppose.

One other question: I intend to hand out a couple of (useless) qualifications in SH3C to some enlisted men so I can remember who belongs in what slot. Those will show up in-game, despite being meaningless on the effectiveness of the enlisted, right? I've got a guy who I'm going to make the default funkmaat and I want to give the sonar duties to a pair of guys who can rotate, but I forget what they're called.

I didn't think of that part!:damn:

Yes they will show up in-game.
