Then, it got worse, as I tried to uninstall SH3 and got a bunch of weird error messages, during which process it wiped out all my saved games and careers before I could stop it :damn:

Fortunately, I had backed up my saved game data just a couple of weeks ago, so I only lost my last couple of patrols :D

Now, a complete re-install of SH3 and SH3 Commander and IUB etc. later, I'm back in business. However, I think I'll just use my RL stopwatch from here on out. Too bad too - it was an intriguing idea. Maybe someone could do a clean, simple JSGME mod for this, in which case I might give it another shot one day

Sorry to hear that. The problem with making a clean version of the menu_1024_768.ini is that it has to be compatible with several different mods that also change the file. For example, do you want it to be compatible with the harbor traffic mod, RUb (don't remember if that still mods the menu_1024_768.ini or not) and so on. This file really is a pain to work with. As I mentioned though I would be happy to post my version of the mod (JSGME format), you'll just get all the other changes I've made to the file as well.

Not knowing what else IUB or SH3 Commander might have already done to that file, I started with the post-modded version of the file as my starting point for making the changes you posted above. But I'm still not sure how SH3 Commander really works in terms of "rollbacks" and stuff so I have been having a little issue with another small change or two "sticking" while using SH3 Commander, so maybe something went wrong there. Also, when I went to get that graphic file, I noticed that the mod also had a "dials.cfg" file in it - since you hadn't mentioned that, and since I thought that might have been changed by IUB/SH3 Commander, I didn't use that new dials.cfg file - maybe I should have? Unfortunately, there were several possible points of failure so it may be pretty tricky to troubleshoot it.

Maybe if you could post your file I could compare it to the other versions and see what has changed, which might help me make sure I get just the changes I need for this. Might be worth a shot
