It says in the SH3Comm help file that the randomisation occurs every time you launch from SH3Comm except when in mid patrol. Does that mean if I start a career with this option checked and it decides to retire me after say 6 patrols, when I get back to base after 1st patrol I must uncheck this option before launching again or it will AGAIN randomly assign me to retire after say 8 patrols? If this is the case if the box is not unchecked after first launch I would never get retired correctly.
Right?

 My brain hurts! I honestly don't understand what you are saying or asking, so I will just explain the feature. Simply, with the option selected, EVERY TIME you press "Launch SH3!" when you are DOCKED (that is, NOT mid-patrol), SH3Cmdr performs a small calculation to determine whether you should be retired. The calculation is based on the number of patrols completed and the number of days spent at sea AT THE TIME OF CALCULATION. If the result of the calculation is true, you are retired. Conversely, if false, SH3 loads and the game continues as usual.
The calculation is ONLY performed AFTER you press the "Launch SH3!" button and ONLY if you are DOCKED. It is performed for that ONE time only and repeated fresh EVERY time you press the "Launch SH3!" button.
The (user adjustable) lookup table that controls this feature can be found in SH3 options.cfg.
I hope this helps. |
I originally thought that if checked and launched it would assign a SET number of patrols, or SET number of days at sea and retire you when reached. If left checked and launched again it would REASSIGN a new SET number.
Example: Launch new career and get a max 7 patrol career. Finish patrol and relaunch and get a new value assigned like 10 patrols. etc.
In short, I thought I had to uncheck it on subsequent launches or get assigned a new random career length.
I think I understand now. Leave it checked and it will eventually retire me.
Thanks for the fast response and the great mod.
