HW3, no I haven't bought any upgrades. I'm aware that doing so pushes back the patrol start date.

Why did you alter the end date of the last patrol? Doing so makes it much harder to fault find - the previous date was there for a reason!

In the online campaign I'm in (
www.wolvesatwar.com) we have three month patrol periods, the current one starting March 1st and ending May 31st 1942. This is so we are all sailing in the same period in the war. In order to get the required patrol start date, I would edit the end date of the previous patrol so that after the default number of days in port which is 31.
I thought that as I could now use SH3 Commander to specify the number of days in port, and so set it at 14 ( as a convenient number ), editing my last patrol end date to 14 days prior to March 1st would mean my next patrol start date would be March 1st...which is what I want.

-"Set number of days spent in base to:" option is checked?

-After you changed the date in Patrols.cfg, did it correctly display as the "Last Patrol End" date in SH3Cmdr?
|
No. It shows the last patrol end date to be Wed Feb 4th 1942, not what I edited it to in patrols.cfg, which is Feb 15th 1942

-What was the original end date that you overwrote?

Feb 4th 1942

-You didn't upgrade after going into SH3? For if you do and your in-base date goes beyond the 14 days, your next patrol will (logically) start on the later date.
|
No, didn't upgrade anything.

-In your game's Basic.cfg file, what is the value assigned to (under TIME block) - both pre and post rollback?
|
I launched the game from SH3 Commander, started a patrol , exited and docked immediately, and the value for was 14. After rollback it returned to 31.
I think what I'll do is uninstall SH3 Commander, reinstall the back up copy of my career folder, change the end patrol date to 15th Feb, manually edit the NbDaysInBase to 14 days, then install SH3 Commander again and set the number of days in base to 14, so matching the manually edited value. Clearly, the number of days in base value selected in SH3 Commander doesn't come into effect till after you return from the first SH3 Commander-launched patrol ( Read that carefully, it does make sense
)
Other than that, is there anything glaringly wrong that you think I've done ?
Very grateful for your response to this, BTW
