Abd_von_Mumit · 02-01-07, 07:18 AM

As in the topic: how to include the crew from anoter career in a completely new one? Any way? I'd like to keep their names (and set all of them: 0 patrols, no medals etc.). Any help appreciated.

I thought maytbe a kind of template... We have such templates allready - there is a possibility to pick one in SH3, but I have no idea, how to make one and where they are stored.

It drives me mad you can set (for example change names) your crew only _after_ completing your first patrol.

Yes there is! Did it last night.

This will work if you tranfer the crew to the same type of boat as you had before.
i.e IXB to IXB.

The first thing to do is load up you new career and load a patrol. Then, before leaving dock just exit and dock at...wherever.

Exit SH3.
Roll back SH3Cmdr.
In the My Documents folder where your career saves are the will be (IIRC) crew cfg files. These basically keep track of your medals & training for your crew.
Find the last one for your old career and copy it your new career.
After you have copied it into your new career rename it to the same as the last one in your new career.

Is that clear?

From memory again so file names won't be exact, but close.

This is something I wanted to ask JScones to include in Cmdr. Crew Transfers:hmm:

Thanks, Dan, I'll give it a try. But what i dislike in this method is wasting 1 patrol in my career. I really don't want to start with retreating before even leaving the port... What would Papa say?

You should always conduct a 'shakedown' patrol, who say's how long it must be.

Besides, this is a workaround for the BUG where, if you update your crew/boat on your first patrol then you get no renown.
