Using Commander 3.1 for the first time

[Paul Riley]

I am at this moment dling the Commander 3.1 pack,as I feel its time I finally discarded the old way of playing,and really got into the 'meat' of this game.This is my first step anyway,and if everything goes ok then I will go for the other major add-ons.But for now I will tinker around with Comm for a while.What I need to know is this:

1: I am currently in mid campaign and would like to continue with my current campaign,this I understand is fine with Commander?.
2: It can be installed with no problems over the stock game,with no other add-ons/patches etc?.
3: What else do I need to know?.

Finally,I would like to thank a few individuals in here who have helped me so far in understanding the intricate installation process for all the mods for this game,and this is just a final verification on my part,before I finally install it into my game.

Not too sure about #1. #2 - Yes no problems. It's a stand alone add-on that needs no other mods installed. #3. Check my reply to your thread here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=140859 . Page 2.

Thanks for that murr.
I think my best bet is to just make a backup of my current campaign profile,and install Comm. straight over the current game version i'm using,and if I run into any noticeable problems I still have my old backup.
Lastly,regarding problems during mid campaign,1 or 2 people in here have said that it shouldnt cause any problems,but with the other major add-ons I would need to start a new campaign.
As I say,i'll give comm. a go in about 30mins (dl time remaining) thats bleedin dial up for you

Cheers anyway pal

Tell me about it! I've had dial up for 6 years now & I'm thoroughly sick of it. The only reason that I haven't switched to Hi-Speed is my current pricing plan: unlimited access for less than $20 Cdn per month.

That sounds similar to my setup too.I pay about £10 for 120hrs a month internet access with my current account with BT.That is about $20 also.
I'm fed up of it too,seriously thinking of upgrading to Broadband asap,which is about £20/mth ($40).
Say,I have noticed dial up has degraded quite bad recently,have you?.Seems to be getting slower and slower.When I first signed up about 10yrs ago I was getting 56kbps,now I am averaging at 46-48kbps,very rarely managing 56 anymore.Could also be due to a massive influx of new users globally,putting even more stress on us dialers!

Good job I am patient though

*rubs hands excitedly*
