You installed straight over the top of your previous version didn't you? 'Cause if you didn't, the "Data" option would not be there. ;) If this is the case, I recommend a full uninstall and reinstall as you'll have files in your Date and Random folders that are no longer needed.

Anyway, "Standard SH3" means that the stock (or whatever is already installed into SH3) crew config files are used.

"Realistic" means that the SH3Cmdr crew config files are used - these are based on actually U-boat composition as best as SH3 will allow.

You can add your own crew configs, for example, the crew of U-46 or whatever, quite easily by creating a "U-46" folder under "Crew" and then the "data\cfg" folder structure. See the help file for more details.

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.

From what you are saying you've done the right things.

I assume you upgraded from R2.3? If you upgraded from R2.2, then that could be your problem, but we'll go there only if we need to.

Have you checked your Basic.cfg file after SH3 has loaded (ie alt-tab back out and then check Basic.cfg to see if your values have been correctly inserted)? Try that and let me know.

I guess we gotta wait until someone decides to write a giant nightclub scene that runs throughout the entire war. Well, at least I'm hoping.

Yeah, there was never any intention that the Nightclub would have 100's of entries upon release. I'm quite happy that it has as many as it has - only one month has no entries, the rest have between 1 and 5. I'm sure some imaginative people around here will very shortly have updated files with more entries.

I love the amount of names you have in SH3 Commander. It is crazy how many you put in there. Nice! :up:

It might be a while before we see Fritz Prien again... :rotfl:

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

Aha! Active careers but not in mid-patrol.

Thanks. I was beginning to worry it was one of those 'men-only' clubs. :88)

They still exist, FYI. :down:

Very nice update to SH3CMDR. Thanks for adding the family name to the list. We had a few "Black Sheep".
I will enjoy the game even more so.

Actually Avon Lady, there are still some "ladies only" clubs too. Just saw one open the other day, aerobics, I think.

Nice update to SH3 Commander...downloading now and looking forward to seeing the Nightclub :up:

I don't think there is anything wrong with "men only", "women only", "Blue blooded only" or any "...only" clubs as long as they are private associations.

Anyway, i would like to quote here the great Groucho Marx and his unique sense of humour, as he wrote a letter to a club resigning and saying as the reason: "I don't want to belong to a club that accepts people like me"

:rotfl:

Kalach 01-18-06 11:19 AM

I can't wait to see the nightclub in action :D
Though I don't think they will say anything that will suprise me ;) .

The additional names will be great too, I only managed to add ~100 names to my own list.
Also the seasonal waves :up: .

Actually that was the Beverly Hills Country Club. They had a long-standing "No Jews" policy, which they suspended just to ask Groucho to join. Of course he refused, and it wasn't until a reporter asked him why he would turn down a membership offer to America's most exclusive club that he (being Groucho and not wanting to cause trouble or sound bitter) replied "I have my standards. I wouldn't join any organization that would have me as a member!"

Just a quick question for which i couldn't find an answer.

I currently have 2 careers saved. In the case of one of my careers i was in the middle of a patrol when i installed the latest SH3Cmdr ( By the way, it's absolutely great :rock: ! ) and later on when i finished this patrol the total tonnage for it did not show in the main screen of the personal file.

But the strange thing is that all the details for that patrol can be found after accessing the particular patrol log.

As i continued on other patrols everything shows up in the main screen of the personnel file except the numbers for the patrol i was on when i installed SH3Cmdr.

I've been comparing what i think are the sources on which the personnel file is based but can't find any obvious problems, so i don't have a clue as to why it's no adding up the numbers.

Any idea what it could be ? It's not a big deal but it still kind of irritates me :doh:

Thanks in advance

I have a question concerning adding to the random folder. What file structure should one use? I added some folders with random cloud formations, but I don't know if I did it right.

Thanks so much for SH3 commander2.4. It just keeps getting better. The seasonal weather is outstanding. Winter in the North Atlantic really sucks!! :up: :up: :up:

By R2.3 i'm assuming you mean RuB? I'm currently using IuB 1.02 as my only mod.

Reading one of the above posts, i'm wondering if having selected 'realistic' as the 'use crew' option when starting a career has something to do with the problem. I'm going to try starting a new career, set that to default and have my fatigue model selected as usual.

I'll see how it goes..... :doh:

EDIT - back out to sea and same problem. Zero fatigue. I checked the 'crew fatigue models.cfg' and all seems to be in order. My model is in exactly the same format as all those above it as far as I can tell and the model has been selected for use in SH3 commander.

There's no real reason why it shouldn't be working. It's exactly the same crew config file I was using with the previous version of SH3 commander and it worked fine then... :hmm:

Perhaps I can email you the file and see if you can make any sense of why it won't work.

Wolfram 01-18-06 11:16 PM

Only report was some resets to language and/or text display; also some of the gameplay realism(s) reset but those easy enough to change back to my preferences. :know:

Thus...

Alles sehr gut, danke mein Herr :up:
