What determines career length ?

[Reece]

Hi, the last 2 careers consisted of only 3 patrols, then, End of War :-? I have been using SH3 Commander & not sure if the problem is here "Simulate a realistic career length" is not ticked. Is there an adjustment here so that I can start a career in 39 & end in 45 ? :D
Thanks.

A few people have been having this problem lately. But one thing that is for sure, it's not SH3Cmdr related. How do I know?

a) you have the realistic career length option unselected;
b) the "war is over" message originates from *within* SH3. If you are retired by SH3Cmdr, you receive a message when you attempt to launch SH3 from SH3Cmdr.
c) even if you have the option selected, unless you're in an IX and have spent a squillion days at sea, you will not be retired after only three patrols.
d) there's been no changes in SH3Cmdr since R2.0 that could "suddenly" cause this problem.

What mods are you running?

Ahhhhh! What mods aren't I running you mean Jaesen :D

SH3 & Commander are the only things, I thought, would effect the career length. If there is a particular file would you let me know, maybe it's corrupt or something. :dead:
Thanks. :up:

Yeah, I thought you had a lot running. :D

But IIRC you're not the only one that's raised this "anomaly" recently. So it would be good to know what mods users with the problem are running (why does this seem like de ja vu to me?!? ;)).

Believe it or not, there is not one mod used that overwrites another, if that happens I either have to manually combine mods (eg. mods that use menu_1024_768.ini) or I take a pick as to which one I want! :D
Lets hope others with this problem post there mods as you suggest. :up:
