HELP on Skipper's logs

gazpode_l · 02-11-11, 03:01 PM

I've seen some of the examples posted of people's patrol's and it shows that they are quite detailed.

Mine seem like they are similar to the stock version of SH3 despite the fact I am using GWX 3.0 and "SH3 commander". I would like to use this version of the logs.

What can I do to enable it?

In the SHC options, there are switches for "use real ship names" and "randomize Tonnage". Turn those on, and then update your personnel files under "Click for available actions" on the front page of SHC. Then click view Open. That creates a nice little webpage you can copy and edit if you want.

Also, you can directly edit the logs using the "review your patrol logs" feature on the same menu.

After a patrol is complete, you can edit them and update the files, go back into SH3, and the edits will be added to the log book in game too.

Ok thanks "Gargamel"
I suspected that it could be available from Commander, but I wasn't too sure on how to set it up

Will take a look at it when im at home playing SH3 next.

Ta again G'g'mel

Yep, with 'Review Patrol Logs' you can rewrite everything any way you want, except for the first and last entries. First thing I do is get rid of the stupid "Ship Sunk!" entries. Nobody ever wrote that in a patrol log.

I do. I use lots of exclamation marks. And I dot all my 'i's with little hearts.

hee hee. . .

Pardon me for laughing but I can't help but chuckle at those patrol logs. Not in a bad way though. It's so kawaii.

BDU must've been rolling their eyes while reading your reports.

Raeder finds Onkel Carl curled up in a ball in the corner, sobbing pitifully. On his desk lies patrol reports from FK and Balz.
