I can answer that. No, the auto-rollback that happens every time is not the same. You must click the button that says "Rollback SHIII" before installing anything new, or you might have problems.

Ok, and I've just found that out before reading your answer. I put in the SHIII Bearing mod but not by using JSGME to install it. It didn't work so I put the original tga back in. Now no tga is found for the sub when in the nav map and the TDC map. And I know why now... I didn't Roll back. ;)

Rather than automatically rolling back each time SH3 exits perhaps you could consider making a list of available SH3 installations and storing each installation's data in different sections of the existing SH3 Commander ini files. That way each time you start SH3 from SH3 Commander with a given installation selected it would automatically go to the appropriate data. This would mean users would only ever need to have one installation of SH3 Commander and one shortcut to it (making the /l switch redundant). It may also save on code modification since the only real change to data access is that first an installation selection must be made and the appropriate data subsection identifed accordingly.

IOW, in the main SH3 Commander screen there would be an expandable tree list or drop-down list of available installations, from which the user selects one. The appropriate careers and SH3 Commander options would appear. From then on it would work as it does now (although I do like the suggestion of making the randomisation and sabotage options appear as SH3 Commander options like the others do).

I've been asked to expand MultiSH3 to make the process of creating multiple installations of SH3 easier for less experienced users. Please post suggestions, etc, in the MultiSH3 thread (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...883#post356883).

What your saying in the above post would...IMHO be the perfect answer/way for most people :yep: ...keep it as simple as poss :D :up:
