Captain's Diary Mod?

07-30-11, 02:40 AM

Is there a Captain's diary Mod? Something like a journal that we can type in during our patrols to put down our thoughts, observations, and actions?

This would be handy for the long patrols an people who like to play real time.

Perhaps going to the Captain's bunk and then a journal appears to type with a font that would look like handwriting.

Just a thought.

Hi !

You can do this with SH3-Commander, but NOT during Mid-Patrol, only AFTER each Patrol you can edit via SH3-Commander the Log-Book !

Another solution is unknown to me !

Best regards,
Magic

Every Kaleun here on SubSim is dying for such a mod that would enable people to write Logs while sitting in the captains-bunk!

Looks like something to add to my checklist. I see shortcut conflicts in commands_en would be a problem.

People have been trying to make that one happen for six years now. So far the post-patrol editor in SH3 Commander is the only way. I write everything down longhand and type it up afterward, just like they did in real life.

i think it is possible to keep a running log on a spreadsheet, save it in the correct format and then import it into the patrol log and personnel file. I assume that you would alt-tab SHIII to desktop to make the entries. If one had a suitable image on the desktop, this would help keep the spirit of the game while you did this.
I have never done this, as I use SailorSteve's method to make rather meager entries.
instructions are in the help file of the patrol editor.
