A programmer's skill is what many of us need. If I had the patience to read hex, I would give it a go.

I am particularly interested in creating a dynamic campaign for silent hunter 3. Or any SH game for that reason.

There is a mod created dynamic campaign generator for for IL-2, CF3 and Strike Fighters here:http://www.lowengrin.com/news.php

Perhaps something could be worked out to figure this out. If SH3 Commander can read the Campaign files to give us a sunken ships report, I don't understand why it would be difficult to create a program that deletes a sunken ship from the SCR campaign layer via program. It would just have to delete the ship entry from the campaign layer.

So the short of it is that people want radio reports in MQK format instead of lat./long. for historical accuracy?

As long as people do not want.:D MQK is not over. However, after the release they will need it.:yep:
Must be prepared in advance.
:salute:

This is a good suggestion.:up: But then we have to solve this problem.
Although this is not a problem. But, it is better to solve it. Then it will be professionally.:O:

the campaign can do this already

Yes - a toggle button lat/long off/on would be the best option.
Otherwise - 2 versions may be required

Hi Trevally,

You mean ships are deleted from the SH5 campaign file when they are sunk? Capital ships, etc...

This cannot be done in SH3.

Yes - with each save or campaign adv, all ships marked "Unique" are checked by the campaign and if dead, they are dead:-

This is the roster cfg where unique ships are stated

[UnitClass]
ClassName=BBRoyalSovereign
UnitType=11
AppearanceDate=19160316
DisappearanceDate=19480301
DisplayName=BR BB Royal Sovereign (proxy)
IsUnique=yes
[Texture 1]
TextureName=
LightmapTextureName=data/Sea/NBB_QueenElizabeth/NBB_QE_O01.tga
NormalmapTextureName=

EndDate=19461231

[Unit 1]

DOD=19480901
[Unit 2]

DOC=19160616
DOD=19391014
[Unit 3]

DOD=19490401
[Unit 4]

DOD=19480501
[Unit 5]
Name=HMS Ramillies
DOC=19170916
DOD=19480301

;************* THE END ***************

And here is the campaign profile for that ship:-

[CampaignProgress.MisResult 15.MisKill 6]
Name=HMS Royal Oak
ClassName=BBRoyalSovereign
Type=11
Side=1
KillDate=19390930
Tonnage=31000
Long=-356980.218750
Lat=7070345.000000
Height=-12.800246
IsFromSingleMis=false

[CampaignProgress.UniqueShipsStatus 16]
Name=HMS Royal Oak
ClassName=BBRoyalSovereign
Active=false
Dead=true

As you can see - I sank this ship 30/09/39 and the campaign knows it and will not use it again:know:

Many people here state facts about the campaign engine for SH5, but they have not taken the time to look and thus get it wrong.

so... Still no megamod yet?? Meaning 1 file, 1 thing to install??

I'm waiting till that happens to give it another go..

thanks

Hi, fastfed.:salute:
Donate 5$ Subsim and get Mega Mod in one file.
Sorry. If I understand you correctly.
