Dunno. I had a release candidate ready (just pending some data file changes) when Rubini came up with a suggestion aimed at better supporting the Milk Cow mod...so I am now waiting to see how that pans out. So, maybe very late this weekend.

what i mean is, can I write some kind of journal inside the SH3 game that I can view on the SH3 Commander after my patrol?
Such a feature has been slated for SH3Cmdr release for quite a while. I even developed a prototype which works nicely.

However, I made a conscious decision a month or so ago not to pursue the functionality any further as I don't have the time or resources available to provide the level of ongoing user support that such a feature would require. Plus, after 12 months of development, I am keen to pursue "new" interests.

If you save your games whilst at sea, simply make a save *just prior* to docking. Exit SH3. Under your Career save game folder will be a sub-folder numbered the same as your patrol, minus 1 (ie 0 represents the first patrol). Inside this folder will be at least 1 .crp file. Open the *latest* one and *every* message that appeared during the patrol will be listed.

Copy the file and edit the copy as you want (don't edit the original as if you even need to go back to that save game, it may crash if you edit incorrectly). But your changes won't be recognised by either SH3 or SH3Cmdr, so this is somewhat a waste of time unless you copy some of the key entries (weather and the like) and paste them into your own created diary.
