Thanks for the new version - I've been going through an unscheduled PC rebuild/upgrade, so haven't been playing SH3 for a few days, but I managed to get things restored enough to finally get back to port from my Murmansk patrol and decided to go ahead and upgrade/prepare my SH3 install for the upcoming GWX release. So far so good - I rolled back SH3 Com.2.6, uninstalled it and installed 2.7, and everything seemed to go fine.
One odd thing I noticed however - when I created a new Personnel File for my current Kaleun everything seemed to be captured just fine except for the line that talks about the boats he has commanded. He actually started with a VIIB for 15 patrols, switched to a IXB in late 1941 for 5 patrols, and then switched to a VIIC for the last 3 patrols, but his personnel file only listed the original VIIB for all 23 patrols - I can't remember looking at that particular line before, but isn't it supposed to show each boat commanded, with the start date and number of patrols done in each? I changed the boat numbers from those randomly assigned when I switched boats, so maybe I messed up SH3Com's tracking function by doing that somehow? Any ideas on how I might fix that so it would report correctly on each boat my Kaleun has commanded? I love this personnel file feature but would like it to be as "historically accurate" as possible for my guy's career.
Also, in a previous thread about the captain's log feature in the game, there was some discussion about whether SH3Commander could be tweaked or configured somehow to recognize and include the personal log entries that can be added to the <saved game name>.clg files so that they show up in the in-game KTB screens but which don't currently show up in the personnel file generated by SH3 Commander. However, that discussion sort of petered out and I never saw an actual answer/solution for that. Does anybody know how SH3Commander decides what part of the data from the game's log files to flow into its personnel file and whether it could be made to pick up and repeat the other log entries from those game files (if the player has added them as noted in that previous thread)? Obviously a small point that's not "mainstream" for most SH3 Commander users, so I'm not surprised it didn't make it into 2.7 as an official feature, but I'm just wondering if it might be something that could be done for/by those of us who are "log junkies"
In any event, thanks so much for this great utility and for continuing to support us with these updates
