I recommend that you upgrade SH3Cmdr to the latest release, which is R3.1.2. Many changes since R2.7:
Quote:
- New graphical interface
- New user guide
- Added ability to continue career with new commander
- Now transfers crew IN to u-boat as well as out (when realistic crew transfers option is selected)
- Added ability to recognise user-added patrol log text and include in Personnel Files
- Added link to the FAQ on the TC adjust screen reminding users to read the FAQ first
- Added ability to start careers anytime during 1939. For this feature to be available, players must have installed a mod that adds pre-September 1939 start dates
- Improved handling of SH3's NULL patrol grid problem. When in port, users will not be able to adjust NULL grids because SH3 will just overwrite it again with NULL. However, if saved in-patrol SH3 Commander will support NULL grid changes in exactly the same way as it supports any other grid change
- Personnel File fonts and background image can now be changed through SH3 Commander Options
- Replaced hard-coded absolute offsets to binary files with dynamic searching. Note however that offsets will still be required for the randomised and static events files (less chance of ambiguity and confusion)
- Removed SS## patrol grid masking providing compatibility with non-gridded theatres
- Submarines now included in "Use real ship names" feature
- New option: "SH3 Path". Previous /l: switch no longer supported
- New option: "Skip intro movies"
- New option: "Rollback automatically after exiting SH3"
- New option: "Randomise ship tonnage"
- New option: "Randomise U-boat crush depth"
- Randomised renown linked to randomised tonnage
- Personnel File Postings now list each back-and-forth Flotilla transfer
- Added rank, medals, badges and qualification graphics to Crew List
- Many internal code enhancements
- New option: "Start patrols at sea"
- Removed options to set preferred rank or medal language. SH3 Commander will now reference whatever rank labels are in the game (refer to User Guide for potential compatibility problems)
- Now prompts to save outstanding changes if another crewman is selected in the Crew Manager screen
- Added ability to change the Patrol Log "Grid" column title through SH3 Commander, in the same manner as the other two column titles (via SH3Cmdr_*.txt file)
- Added ability to modify date format used in Patrol Log (via SH3Cmdr_*.txt file)
- Demotions now recorded in Personnel File
- 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
- HTML file names for Personnel Files now conform to UNIX standards
- Crew Manager screen now lists the compartment each crewman is in
- Internal code modifications to better support third party added playable boats
- Medal images now only display in the Crew Manager when they were historically available
