Milk Cows - any way to collapse patrols back into one?

panthercules · 03-02-06, 02:32 AM

Just tried the milk cow feature in IUB 1.02 (I guess it came with that one since I'm not running any specific milk cow-type mod) for the first time. My Type IXB was down at my patrol zone around the Azores and out of torpedoes (except for a few externals that had been trapped there for 2 weeks because of the bad weather), and I noticed there was a friendly ship docked at one of the nearby neutral ports, so I thought I'd give it a shot rather than head home early (only been out about 3 weeks so far).

I was able to collect my renown, give out my medals and promotions and stuff, but could not configure my torpedo loadout (unfortunate, but expected). As I had suspected, when I headed back out the game was treating me as if I had started a new patrol instead of treating it as a continuation of my current patrol.

Does anybody know if there is a way to edit some .cfg files or something so that when I go back in to the game it will think/act like I'm still on a continuation of my current (11th) patrol instead of saying I'm on my 12th? A small point admittedly, but I would like my career records, personnel file in SH3 Commander, etc. to reflect the correct patrol instead of this fake new one. Any ideas?
