[REL]Kim Ronhof's SH4 Report generator ver. 5102

aanker · 04-24-12, 07:15 PM

Kim Ronhof has graciously released his SH4 Report generator ver. 5102.

When correctly installed it should automatically find all your saved games. Just double click on the appropriate saved game. The program then creates the patrol report and copies it to the Clipboard to paste into Word or a Text file for further editing.

JANAC Tonnage will vary according to your realism settings.

That's all Folks! - Kim Ronhof

Wow!!!!

Is this version compatible with supermods (TMO, RFB, FOTRS) or only for vanilla SH4?

Many thanks and best regards!

Yes, for sure TMO & Stock but as it gathers data from Saved Games and basic SH4 files that are universal to all installs, it should work.

If it doesn't know if a Warship or Maru it will ask.

Kim did an outstanding job with this and it was nice of him to publicly release it. It won't conflict or cause damage either :)

Happy Hunting!

Sounds cool. Is there a sample of a report so we can see what it does?

Best regards!

This tool is great; it's been too long for SH4 without its own SH3 Commander - like tool; this one is close, its simple and is doing what it supposed to do; only thing I would add is some html code added to generated report. Could be perfect.

aanker · 04-27-12, 07:37 PM

You could cheat and use BLOCKQUOTE inside a <P> under <HEAD> with margins and BODY once you get your text edited... and <br>'s at the end of every line and paragraph if you want simple html.

I just did one by hand in Notepad in about 4 minutes.
- or just paste the text into Word or a html email.

Some of these text editors like NoteTab make simple html docs too.

WYSIWYG ..... lol :)

Happy Hunting!

----------------------------------
Edit - I just now selected this #7 message individually and viewed the source code with my browser. Down at the bottom is my (this) message with <br /> tags inserted at the end of every line, paragraph, and space breaks between the sections right where you need them. Copy that message block inside the bottom <DIV> </DIV> tags and paste it into Notepad, do a search and replace to change the <br />'s into <br>'s, and most of the work is done! Then wrap that inside <P> <BLOCKQUOTE> under <BODY> and <HEAD> with % margins, and close it in reverse order: </P> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML> and you have a usable formatted html doc in less time than it took to edit this message.

Of course you would paste your formatted text patrol report into a forum post and use that - not MY message but you get the idea - I hope.
