GREAT :up:

I've got a request for some of the more artistic people here. With R2.5 I'd like to revamp the SH3Cmdr banner, so if anyone would like to create one, feel free. Size needs to be 596 x 65 pixels (or proportionally scalable, but not too big or it impacts file size, either directly or indirectly). Nicest one will be used for R2.5.

I'll try to do that tomorow, if I have time.

I have to finish my new Recognition Manual and I am hoping to release it tomorow.

Then I will proceed to new things :smug:

And maybe re-do that nasty icon.

I know it could be considered as a cheat, but I'd love to see a direct way to change renown.

I'm in my 8th patrol in a type II and after doing a full wipe/reinstall due to installing the GW mod, I am having a difficult time raising renown enough to buy a VII. With the default game install, you go through the tutorials and gain renown by completing them but when installing a fresh version, all these settings are reverted to ensign status so even though I've done 30+ patrols, it doesn't count and I can't buy a VII to increase my tube or eel count. Installing the GW mod makes the tutorials nearly impossible due to some deck gun damage problems. It's almost a catch 22. Can't raise renown because I'm only sinking 2-3 boats per patrol and using all my fish, but I can't get a better boat with more tubes and increased payload until I get more renown. :damn:

:up: Please do!

I didn't save my color version before switching it to black and white so I'll redo it and post the color version later if you're more interested. I think the black and white is more old-seeming.

JScones,

Love SH3 commander! Like what I see for release 2.5 also, but the following I would really like to see done before the next release.

You see I have a career for the Wolves At War site. And they assign patrol grids, which for an existing Captain is no problem, but a new captain it is.

Also I would love a way to preset the equipment for a Uboat, as they also preset the equipment you can have before each patrol. For instance they simulate some equipment not being available for all boats at the same time. An example is "a shipment of snorkels was destroyed in transit to the docks by allied bombers therefore only 2 are available for the more experienced captains". I spent 4 hours Saturday trying to get the right equipment on my Uboat, and for the equipment to be completed on the date I needed for the patrol. I actually had to leave 3 days later than the patrol start date. Oh, and can you also put a patrol start time (ie 13:40) with the date?

I am running the GW mods with the combined NYGM mod done by Rubini so if you need someone to help test I be more than happy to help.

Hmmm. Are these changes limited to Basic.cfg? If so, you can already achieve this. The best process would be for the WAW Administrator (or whoever) to post the Basic.cfg changes required and ask that players copy and paste directly into "Medals and Renown.cfg". They'll then be copied into the game until the next lot of changes are published. Easy! ;)

I might actually change the name of "Medals and Renown.cfg", 'cause whilst it currently only includes medals and renown changes, it can include *any* valid Basic.cfg key and value, meaning you can use it to create an entirely new Basic.cfg file if you so wanted to.

No, not possible (well, yes, you can write a start time, but SH3 ignores it).

I have to agree that setting a patrol start date (I am aware that SHIII randomizes start time) would be a big help to many WaW players - I don't think I have started a patrol on the appointed date yet (I keep blaming the dockyard workers).

Can you make this into an option similar to how fatigue is currently done?

OK, it's in.

The release candidate has been bundled up ready to go. Just a bit of associated admin to do first...

Sweet! Can't wait for the new release. :up:
