My saved compressed files show SH3Cmdr 2.3.exe to be 44,227 KB (44.2 MB) and SHCmdr 2.3.7z as 32.076 KB (32.1 MB).

As a result, the SH3Cmdr 2.4.exe at 20,266 KB without the ship skins is about correct, especially since the CSP.7z is 20.944 KB.

Since the compression ration of "exe" to ".7z" is about 73% that would make the CSP.7z about 26,600 KB if it was an "exe", for a total of 46,866 KB (46.9 MB) if SH3Cmdr 2.4 & CSP were all together. That makes 2.4 & CSP 2,639 KB larger than 2.3.

Hope this relieves your questions.

SH Cmdr
 
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!!!
I installed Cmdr 2.4 and enabled seasonable waves. I am on patrol in the North Atlantic in Feb. and the weather is awful. It's cold and miserable and the boat is bouncing around. The waves are washing over the deck and the watch crew is getting soaked. (I got so cold I went and put on a sweater.) I assigned the SOB weapons officer who missed a C3 cargo at 600 meters to watch and left him there.

A convoy is approaching and I'm sure I'll get sea sick when I try to line up a shot.

Thanks for this mod Mr. Scones

Cool! Now I have to get back from my current patrol so I can run the thing! Cain't hardly wait!

Big thanks from me too Jaesen. ~S!~ It looks great. :up:

I've asked the Queen that you be made a Knight for your hard work on the SHIII Commander series. :D Tho somehow I don't think she'll listen to me. I'm only a very very distant cousin, And besides that, I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic. But I tried at least. ;)

Uh-oh - I was all fired up about trying this out (I've loved the previous version) and was even prepared to just jettison my current patrol so I could start back in port, but when I ran 2.3 one last time to roll it back per the instructions above, the "rollback" button is grayed out and it won't let me do that.

Is there something else I should do in order to get that "rollback" option lit up, or should I just uninstall 2.3 and press on with 2.4 at this point?

Thanks for all this great work, BTW :up:

LOL - I just noticed that my avatar has gone Oriental for some reason - maybe I'm supposed to take my u-boat and deliver some Me-262 plans and atomic bomb materials to our Japanese allies or something now

Sounds great. I have to echo that thank you. In a couple of months or so I'm going to sit back, relax, and have a nice long career with SH3Cmdr and all the other new mods I've missed out on. :up:

Thanks and great work once again JScones.

A question for you -

I have decided (for various reasons) to do a complete fresh install of everything, including SH3. I've installed the game, patched it, installed SH3 commander (latest version) and then installed IuB 1.02 using JSGME.

The problem is that now my modified fatigue models no longer seem to be having any effect. The file I originally modified was 'crew fatigue models.cfg' (I made edits so my crew fatigue at a much slower rate.)

I kept this file and replaced it into C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander\Cfg after doing all the new installing. When I run the new version of SH3 commander my model is showing as one of the available fatigue models to choose from and I have selected it but it doesn't seem to be having any effect in game.

More than likely i've stuffed up somewhere but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

Try deleting the two 0 byte wmv files from ...\SilentHunterIII\data\Movies\Intro. Some systems don't like these files. It's inherant with both RUb and IUB (not SH3Cmdr).

Yes, No. Simply unzip straight into your SH3 Commander folder.

It appears only with active in port careers. For obvious reasons, it doesn't appear for retired, dead, or in patrol careers.

Yeah, exactly what he said!

That's fine - a greyed Rollback button means that there are no SH3Cmdr files in SH3. Proceed to the next step. ;)

BTW, if you are upgrading from an earlier version of SH3Cmdr, you can safely install and run the upgrade when mid-patrol. You prolly can too if you have never installed SH3Cmdr before, but I haven't tested that aspect thoroughly.
