Thanks, JScones, for another outstanding update.

All i need to do is install the lite version straight over the 2.2 version?

kiwi_2005 11-07-05 10:14 PM

No need for that answer i read info when installating.

BTW very nice. And now my second career shows up.

Here we go again :D I am out on patrol using 2.2 guess I need to finsh
patrol and install new 2.3 when I get back to port?
Think I will use the one with no exe :D I lost one cmd install using the
exe set up program :cry: Will I just be able to roll back 2.2 remove
two folders and start 2.3 like I did the last time I moved to a new version?
Looking forward to new 2.3 Cmd :D
Thank's JScones :D
Thank's for any info
Lane :D

I am using a fresh patched install of SH3, over which I have installed the latest IUB mod. (tested it, and working fine)

First, what are the basic steps to install Commander 2.3? (The instructions have a lot of info about installing over previous versions - I just want to do a basic install.)

Grab the full SH3Cmdr23.exe file - it has everything. Install it wherever you feel comfortable (it does *not* need to be installed anywhere near SH3 itself). Just ensure that you are running Windows XP or 2000 and that you are logged in under your Computer Administrator account.

No, not since R2.2. SH3Cmdr R2.2+ recognises mid-patrol careers and ignores the crew transfer/realistic career length options if they are selected. Only caveat is that you don't make crewman changes mid-patrol as they will be ignored and may cause game instability. But such changes are not things that can occur "accidently".

Under SH3Cmdr's "SH3 Options" you can enter any days in base value that you wish.

Simply install the Lite version over your current installation. No career details or settings will be lost. You'll be fine. :up:

Hmmm...these don't sound like the words of a WinXP or Win2000 user. SH3Cmdr is only supported on WinXP or Win2000, much like the actual game itself. Yes, some users have had success running SH3 on Win98 or WinME, but it's not officially supported.

Don't touch them! They're for your wife! :arrgh!:

JScones. First, congrats on the daughter. Sleep is now a sometimes thing (I've got two kids grown and gone).

Ok, I'm a Windows XP user. After the 'few months' of crashes and Blue Screens, all is well. As it turned out, the real culpret (apparently) was the new additional 512MB of RAM I installed at the same time I got the new video card. Took that stuff out, reformatted, got the latest driver for the video card, and life was good. Even the .CAB files that would not load in SH3 loaded just fine. And the reason it took "a few months" is because I'm a truck driver and not home as much as most people.

I assume all I need to know about how to run the SH3 Commander (and other mods) is in the downloaded files. I won't bother asking questions until after, and if, I have problems.

Thanks :D

Generally yep. As a new SH3Cmdr user you can pretty much ignore the !!PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING!! page in the install wizard and simply press "Next". When installed, load SH3Cmdr and press the "?" (bottom left of the screen). That'll take you to the Help file, called SH3Cmdr Help.html. All you need (hopefully) should be in there...If not, you know where we are! ;)

@Avon Lady - my wife says "mangs" which I think is "Thanks" with a mouth full of choccies! :lol:

Hey Lane
Last night the latest RUB + the new Commander came out.
I was in mid patrol too-my solution: warp to base-it was a crummy cruise anyway too much rain. Now if only the the new Hollywood Pro damage mod would get here it would sort of be like Christmas in November.


:lurk:

Skubber 11-08-05 09:52 AM

Wolfram, JScones,

Installed it! Loving it! Great!

What an excellent user interface. There were a few things I was customizing the hard way, and now it is so much easier.
:up: :up: :up:

Can't wait to see how my career progresses....
