Taking requests for the final SH3 Commander

[JScones]

Thanks Baxter! Sounds good to me. Do you wanna have a go at adjusting the figures to be reflective of the preferred logic?

"result between 0-80 = 0 chance of retirement
result between 81-180 = 1 in 6 chance of retirement
result between 181-280 = 1 in 3 chance of retirement
result between 281-380 = 1 in 2 chance of retirement
result between 381-480 = 2 in 3 chance of retirement
result between 481-~ = 5 in 6 chance of retirement "

This is what I came up with:

"result between 0-300 = 0 chance of retirement
result between 301-1000 = 1 in 6 chance of retirement
result between 1001-2200 = 1 in 3 chance of retirement
result between 2201-4000 = 1 in 2 chance of retirement
result between 4001-6500 = 2 in 3 chance of retirement
result between 6501-~ = 5 in 6 chance of retirement "

It seems to work OK...there's no formula, I just tried patrols of different lengths for different boats. Overall it probably represents a slightly lower scale than the one for the "days at sea" method that you developed (meaning with this one high numbers of patrols are a little less likely). Someone doing a full career in a Type II still has a chance of breaking the all-time record of 16 patrols, but to make that unlikely also makes 10 patrols in a Type VII that much harder. Anyway, you said it will be adjustable for each user so people can set it to their preference.

Thanks. These figures will do for starters. They're stored in the data file thus:

[REALISTICLENGTH]
;"Simulate a realistic career length" option
;RANGE=random number range
;PATCMPLTDxDAYS=RNDVALS (between 0 and RANGE - 1)
;where N = nil and RNDVALS are seperated by commas.
;List must be in ascending order and start with 0.
RANGE=6
0=N
301=0
1001=0,1
2201=0,1,2
4001=0,1,2,3
6501=0,1,2,3,4
so are easily changeable.

JScones,

I don't know if this has been brought up in this thread or not (eh, 11 pages...), but with all the new U-boat skins coming out lately - I was wondering if it's possible to add a skin selector utility to commander.

Better yet, it would be great to have a method of giving each career boat a unique skin (so that when loading a specific career, Commander would load a specific skin for it). Sounds like it could be done. Any possibility of that?

Interesting idea CCIP...Something to ponder... :hmm:
