Hey guys, I have always used SH3Gen with Sh3, but I noticed I was using an older version. There is one with the Tracking Room option. So, decided to install it, and now when I load a savegame into sh3Gen, the 'Generate' button remains grey and unclickable...
And yes, I started a new patrol, saved when more than 50km out of the harbor etc.
Anybody know what the problem might be?

*edit* Came across a thread where other people have this problem when using Windows7, but I run XP so that can't be it either....

*edit2* I got it sorted, and it even might be the solution when you're trying to run sh3gen v.0.8.2 on Windows7: In the Sh3gen.cfg and sh3gen.txt file, the first line
says: "Sh3Path=" I thought, that line probably shouldn't be empty so I filled in the path to my sh3 directory and presto! The generate button can be clicked!
Hope this helped someone else.

Iirc there was an entry box for that path in the settings of SH3Gen. Setting that should have been part of the installation procedure steps.

The latest / last version of SH3Gen doesn't come with an installer.It's a self-extracting file. You extract it and it runs. (And I have the original version; it also says so in the instructions added by the original modder) I guess he should have put it in somekind of setup.exe so you would have to fill in the path.

It could have been easier for us that way. But it is a little thing to provide that path in the settings by hand. And I remember GlobalExplorer mentioned that in the set-up steps to be done yourself. But it is so long ago.
