Changing the U Boat number ?

[SeaStorm]

Hi All,

I've started a new career, made my first patrol,and now i'm docked in Lorient, ready for my second patrol.

I've tried changing the boat's number in :

\My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\Player

--->Patrols,Patrols_0,Careers, careers_0

I still get the boat's older number. Anyone ?
Thanks.

You should use the SH3 Commander utility.

It lets you change all that kind of stuff very easity.

Im gonna get superstitious on ya and say its bad luck to change the number on a uboat thats already been on patrol at least once ;)

Hehehe, :) Ducimus, i shall then put a 'Lucky' Emblem on my Conning tower ;)

Thanx, Heibges, i just got GW and SH3 Commander and it works pretty fine.

I believe you only need to change the patrols_0 file. Your path looks right, except for the 'player' folder. Do you have a career folder under a name also? I have both the 'player' folder and a folder of my captain's name. That is my 'active' career, and the one I went to to change. That worked for me.

Hi Heibges

I've look in Commander, but I don't see where to change the boat number. I have not started my patrol yet.

robj250,

If you're docked in port, you should be able to change your U-Boat number. Select your current career under Existing Careers and then it should show Rank/Name, Status, Current Date, Last Patrol End, U-Boat, etc.

Next to "U-Boat" line, it should show your U-Boat number and U-Boat Type. I'm currently in a patrol, but if I remember correctly, the U-boat number should be high-lighted blue and underlined if you can change it. When you click on that it gives you an option to change the number.

Good Luck! :arrgh!:
