I worked on an external program that was called up by SH3 Commander.

There was a weather mod, think it was something to do with persistent bad weather when leaving port. Well that mod was called up by SH3 Commander, when the weather mod closed it passed back to Sh3 commander which launched the SH3. I don't know if the latest SH3 Commander still has that command in, but I'd bet it is. You can make an external program to collect data from the saved files and do anything you want with it, then update SH3 similar to how Commander does it. The possibilities of what a program like this can do is enormous using the collected saved game data. I know this works, as I tested it out.
I even edited the weather name in SH3 Commander to my own program name and it worked, but leaving it as named is a lot easier for everybody.
