With GWX2.0, is SH3commander still worth using?

Tobus · 12-31-07, 08:13 AM

Since there is known compatibility issue with malfunctions/sabotage and GWX2 and minor incompatibility regarding realistic flotilla dates, is SH3 commander still worth using? Or will there be a new SH3 commander, fully compatible with GWX2?

The malfunctions cfg is being worked on now
Just dont use malfunctions till its been tested and released
Was an oversight on our part as all that was changed was a TGA from 1.03
Made a difference we didnt know about till yesterday

Flotilla dates ?
Not heard that one

You've got that around the wrong way - any incompatibility issues between GWX 2 and SH3Cmdr need to be addressed by the GWX team, not by me (as dev of SH3Cmdr).

The Sensors.dat offset error has been fixed by the GWX team and I'm sure a new file will be available soon. Problem 1 solved.

Now realistic Flotilla dates? That ain't SH3Cmdr - it merely uses whatever exists in the game; it doesn't tinker with the dates at all.

However, if you are talking historic U-boat availability dates, again, this is one for the GWX team to investigate as they have released an updated availability file as part of their SH3Cmdr Cfg file set. Having created the file for all previous versions of GWX, I know for 100% certainty that there was no incompatibility problem. However, the file has been changed since then and some things did jump out as odd (nothing major though) when I had a look the other day, but as I don't have GWX 2, I can't compare.

Will have to look at that Jaesen as IIRC nothing was changed in any cfg except the displacements and ship names
Randomised events should have

Certainly not the U-boat availability.cfg to my knowledge

It was last edited on 11 Nov 07. IIRC the main changes were to some sub availability dates (not all) but I could be wrong because I now think that I may have compared the new file to the original SH3Cmdr file and not to the 1.03 one!

Anyway, I would be very surprised if it was causing any compatibility problems, UNLESS you guys didn't reconcile sub availability dates with sub equipment availability dates that are stored elsewhere in Basic.cfg (ie ensuring that a sub doesn't become available before the basic turm etc). But that would surprise me to. And this whole conversation would be moot if Flotilla.cfg hasn't been changed because effectively there's been no changes since the first GWX release.

Either way, this has nothing to do with Flotilla availaility dates, so I'm at a loss to know what the OP is referring to: I'll now hand ball this one back to you guys.

BBW, was Flotilla.cfg changed in GWX2? If not, then I don't see a problem - the same realistic dates and compatibility with SH3Cmdr will still exist as has existed since GWX1 was released over a year ago (even regardless of any "wayward" U-boat availability date changes).

The OP needs to provide more detailed information on this aspect...
