Is there anyway you could have a option inserted where the player can pick which year folder sensor_Dat and sim cfg to use.
Lets say 1939, 1940, 1941, etc etc.
Lets say you create 6 folders to represent the years that can be filled with libary infos that you want changed for that year,
As we mod whats best settings for each year, we can copy into these folders and select through Sh3 commander instead of having to do seperate file moving each time we hit new year.
This also helps with DC power changes,
Sonar arcs,
And in many ways will help control the ai a little better as we can exploit the settings that are best for that time period.
I hope you follow my drift and that this is something that will become very usefull in the future with all the new developments that have been made.
I know eventually we will probably have different libary packs for each year, I will anyway.
Maybe others agree
Either way, if SH3 commander had this option to select different libary packs it will become a great tool for all future sensor work and game settings.

This should already be achievable. Create a folder under "Date" called 19390901 and plonk your 1939 related files in it, then plonk your 1940 files into a folder titled 19400101, your 1941 files into a folder titled 19410101 and so on. You can plonk as many files in each folder as you like (preserving SH3 folder structure of course). The appropriate files will be automatically copied into SH3 based on the next patrol start date (or career start date if starting a new career).
Of course, if you have 2 modified files in the 19390901 folder, you should have the same 2 files (albeit same in name but different in content) in the 19400101 folder, and so on. But it sounds like this would be the case here anyway.
Also, if you want to add a slight element of "randomness" to each file (ie have a few slight variations for each year), add the date folders into each of the five "Random" sub-folders.

I suppose that shouldn't be too hard to code. And if it is, you're exactly the man to do it!  |
Umm. Yeah, I suppose this could be done. It's not as easy as transfering out though - transfering out simply means writing a -1 to the crewman's NrComp entry, transferring in, however, will require randomisation of all possible crewman details (name, rank, voice, image, quals, medals, morale, fatigue etc etc).
