Great idea JSCones! :up: :up: :up:

Yes, exactly the kinda thing I am thinking!

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, the only Das Boot screens I found are emblazoned with the SH3 logo, which I'm not particularly interested in for this screen.

Your new Comanders version is getting me syched (sp?) it is the one program that we have been looking for that keeps getting better and better all of the time and I cant even begin to imagine playing SHIII without it. When did you say the newest version would be out??

Thank you for a great program.

Here ya go JScones sorry it took soooo long.....i had to work late.... :oops:

Let me know if you have specific pic's you want me to get........or quality :|\

@JScones: What size will this Nightclub be? Fullscreen or same size as the current SH3Cmdr?

What size does the background pic have to be?

Thanks! Hey, any chance of there being something similar to the piccy in CWorth's link?

Doesn't matter - SH3 Commander will stretch it as needed. For guidance though, the current screen is a slight bit smaller than the main screen - and would suit a widescreen picture well.

Although if the file size is small enough, I may add a few images and randomise them each time the Nightclub screen is opened. :)

:up: :rock: :up: :rock: :up: :rock:

It realy make you wonder if SH4 will even be this good. :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

Hey JS.......i'll look and see....Not to many shots similar to that one..... :oops: .......But i'll keep looking :up:

Here's a screenshot using one of the piccies HudsonHawk posted...

With the image size looking at being only 60KB, I think I will be able to add a few screenshots and rotate through them so you get different images each time.

When I've finished the text file, I'll ask for volunteers to translate into German (Jochen Mohr?) and French.

Text will be editable, right?

I'm hoping that a future modder will decide to unload a megaton of new text... Fun stuff! :up:

I won't even dignify this with a response! LOL!

How could I not let others have as much fun as I've had the last day or so?

The principle works the same as the Newsmod, in that comments are grouped by month and reflective of the previous month (so something happening in say Jan 40 will be listed under the Feb 40 entry), although common sense prevails. For example, Sep 39 includes comments relevant to the beginning of the war. Anyway, if you word the comment right, it works well (ie "Did you hear last month that...")

Modders will be able to add unlimited entries per month, in addition to adjusting the number of comments displayed each visit. This means, for example, you can add 100 entries to Jan 40, but limit the Nightclub to only showing 10 each visit. SH3Cmdr randomises the comments so you won't keep getting the same comments each time you visit in the same month. But, if you wanted to see all 100 comments each visit, you could do that too.

There's a bit of behind the scenes work happening here! I've always wanted this feature!

Anyway, as a start I'm aiming to add 4 entries per month, although at the moment most months only have 1 or 2 entries. 1942 is the leanest year - 5 months have no entries at all! I've dug out my AoD CD and am hoping that the Rumorlog.dat file can be cracked so I can use it as inspiration to add more! I dunno how Irishred does it with his radiolog!!!

glad to hear it! :up:

You've outdone yourself once again :up:
I've been hoping for little details and things like this that add to the immersion and make it seem that there really is a world out there beyond your boat.

Nice work going on here!

If you need further help translating into German, just ask. I stand ready.
