So much for R3.1.1 being my last release...
I have just released R3.1.2. Broadly:
- Reverted back to using "N/a" as the current date with lost or surrendered careers
- Posting dates in Personnel Files now more accurate
- Personnel Files now report U-boat as lost in all instances where the U-boat is lost at sea
In essence, these changes "hide" some of SH3's internal mechanics to avoid player confusion. For example, if your U-boat is lost, the HI value is irrelevant and just causes angst as it did for one player recently.
Downloading and installing
R3.1.2 is cumulative, in that it includes the changes made in R3.1.1. So installation is EXACTLY the same...
IF YOU ARE RUNNING SH3CMDR R3.1.x simply use SH3Cmdr's "Updates" feature. It will download a small zip file. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS UNZIP THE CONTENTS OF THE ZIP FILE INTO YOUR
\SH3 COMMANDER FOLDER, OVERWRITING the files already there (only two will be updated). Nothing else needs to be done. You don't even need to rollback. And you certainly don't need to reinstall GWX or NYGM config files.
IF YOU ARE RUNNING SH3CMDR R3.0 OR EARLIER you must download the
FULL installation to get these improvements. Go to the first page in this thread and follow the instructions. Do not download via SH3Cmdr's "Updates" feature. PLEASE pay particular attention to the instructions if you are a GWX or NYGM user and PLEASE read through this thread before posting that it's all too confusing.
