Hi BBW,

I thought of SH3Cmdr, too. But I see two potential problems with that:

1) In RandomizedEvents.cfg I see that only numbers can be generated randomly. I fear, that a special date format like 19390101 is not supported.

2) Even if the above date format is supported, there remains a second problem: In the .eqp file the first value (StartDate) is an independent random number, no problem, but the second value (EndDate) is a dependent random number. it depends on the StartDate (it may not be smaller than that) and depends on the desired (also random?) duration of the availability. I fear, that SH3Cmdr does not support such dependencies for random variables, but I may be wrong in this point. JScones surely knows better.

Edit: Currently read the SH3Cmdr Manual and found something about a random folder function. But I cannot see how it works.

Edit #2: Found an old post which describes the random folder function:

This could really work. Searchlights and weapons could be varied randomly, but that is a really big bunch of hard work.
