Campaign question

[Hornet]

Hi all, I have wanted to start writing a campaign and I have figured out some questions that I will need answered and was hoping you guys could help me out.....

Question:

1. Can I change the uboat type I start with in the campaign? and where do I change it? What directories is it, and under what files?

2. Can I change the date from which my campaign starts, or is it auto defaulted at Sept 1st, 1939 and we are stuck with that?

3. Can I change the grid assignment I'm given on each patrol?

Any help would be appreciated.....

There are two files that need editing to support this - Basic.cfg and Flotilla.cfg. The complexity of changes depends on what you are trying to achieve - ie changing a VIIB to a VIIC is easy, but starting in an XXI in 1939 requires more changes. It's a tutorial in itself, which I won't go into here. However, the next release of SH3 Commander will allow the captain to select any U-boat type that was available to the selected Flotilla up to the chosen campaign start date.

SH3 Commander allows you to start campaigns in any month of the year from 9/1939 through 12/1943 (5/1945 if you have the Flotilla or RUb mods installed). Note that it is an SH3 limitation that careers will always start on the first day of the month.

I clicked on that link, and it said "no website can be found" is there another link to SH3 commander mod?

Also, when installing this mod, do I have to be in port during the campaign so I don't loose the patrol stats?

and if its possible, can you tell me the directories to go to and change the things i mentioned above?

Thanks man,

Hornet
