Sh3Gen campaign enhancement (version 0.6.0)

[GlobalExplorer]

UPDATE 2006-05-17:

Today I have released version 0.6.0 and it is available from here:

http://www.global-explorer.de/Sh3Gen%20Beta%200.6.0.zip

As usual, it comes with the nifty installer, and it now includes the complete standing orders 1.0 for the whole war. The output has also been more optimized for GW.

The inprogram documentation is improved and there is also much more information about Sh3Gen features and usage on my site.

www.global-explorer.de

FEATURESET:

+ standing operational orders 1939-1945, german and english language
+ improved customizing options
+ new reliability slider
+ option to toggle parsing of RND_Layer to greatly improve reliablity of intelligence
+ reduced default assessment period and other values to improve target reliablity of intelligence
+ improved balance with GW1.1
+ re-enabled airbase plotting

CREDITS:

This version wouldn't have been possible without the help of several people:
- Hans Abbadon, who gave me the permission to use his excellent U-Boaters Guide for the Standing Orders Addon. Thanks!
- Brad Golding, who invested lots of time into the completely revised Standing Orders for Sh3Gen
- Georg Unterberg, who translated the Standing Orders to German.
- Thanks go to Boris Gerasimon for his translation services.

Cheers, love your mod :up:

I've been using the beta so it's update time.

Looks very, very cool. I have been watching the program (and your posts) closely for some time now. Looks like its time to take the plunge and start using it.

Will d/l and give it a shot. Thx for your time and effort.

Do I have to uninstall SH#gen v 0.5.2 first, or do I just overwrite the files in the SH3Gen folder?

Please uninstal first, ot there might be some little things leftover from 0.5.2

Uninstalling takes just a few seconds ..

This is a great little program. I like how the intelligence inst very accurate. It doesnt give you god like abilities. It gives you possible opportunities only.

[Sailor Steve]

Looks great! I'll be downloading it Saturday.

[Ripper]

This looks pretty cool. Thanks. :up:

[Scorpius]

Why saturday? Why not today? Now?

This is a great little program. I like how the intelligence inst very accurate. It doesnt give you god like abilities. It gives you possible opportunities only.

The new version can generate almost god-like information if you uncheck RND_Layer and set reliability to maximum. That was a feature requested by a lot of people, and it's important that every Sh3Gen user knows this.

If you leave the RND_Layer on Sh3Gen has some problems with getting the reliability of these targets to a satisfiying level, and that is not going to change, because it is an issue with the randomization of campaign data in SHIII. But using both layer works pretty well because usually the player doesn't know if the info comes from the SCR or RND leayer, so on average you have reliability thats pretty realistic.

Sh3Gen will generate uncertainty if you leave intelligence settings at the default values (or lower), and I have some wicked ideas how to add even more surprise ..

Hello GE!

I just can't understand I haven't know anything about your program! :o

It looks like you have done really great work - I have been so unsatisfied because lack of any proper info coming from intelligency and lack of standing orders. I even considered to build up my own system (have to say I'm not that skilled...) or at least to creat a backround info based on BdUs war diaries to be used by mod builders if wanted.

Thank you for what you + others have done!

I downloaded 0.6 and I'm on midpatrol. I assume there's no problem to give it a try before my next patrol?

Greetings,

Hello Rosencrantz,

Unfortunately, this program is not well known outside of subsim.com, and I don't go around advertising it.

You can use it anytime during patrol, and multiple times if you want, but create a backup of your savegame when you use it the first time - just to be save.

Just when I thought I had the ultimate mod package, along comes another great idea.

Thank you very much.

Hello, ultra n00b to MODs here.

Just started using GW, but like the sound of this one. So I can add this one to GW, right? I don't have to pick one or the other?

Can I just use this latest update, or would I have to download a previous one as well?

SH3Gen is independent of any mods you use. You can as well use it with GW as with NYGM or with both merged, etc. Thats the beauty of it.
