Written Records

IronOutlaw · 01-21-06, 08:50 PM

Sehr Geehrt Kameraden!

Is anyone able to advise me where abouts in the SH III program I can find and extract the written records on diplay during a patrol? I do not know if they are retained within the game or not, but if they are, I would like to recover the text messages that appear at the bottom of the screen, the radio log and messages, the KapitÃ¤n's log and the statistical data of the patrol.

Many thanks!

1. **_menu.txt stores all the boilerplate text used for messages
2. The .crp file, located in a career save sub-folder (ie 0 = patrol 1 etc) contains the messages of that patrol. Open in any text editor. Of course, the file only exists if you have saved mid-patrol.

Thanks JScones!

I hope you will forgive my ignorance on these matters (old age I think), but where will I find the career save sub folder? If you can tell me the path I should be able to follow it.

I have searched through the folders in the game but to no avail.

I did save several times mid game so hopefully all the data is there.

The reason I want to extract the data is that I write up realistic looking KTB's based on photocopies of real ones that I have obtained. I would like to also include a radio log as well. It is my conribution to a re-enacting group with whom I am involved.

How' sunny Melbourne? I moved to Gosford from Mitcham 6 years ago!

Many thanks for helping out mate!

Cheers, Brad

Hehe, I moved from Lake Macquarie to Blackburn 6 years ago! Actually, my wife's family are your way.

We're movin' to Canberra in a few weeks though.

Anyway, full path to your save games will be: C:\Documents and Settings\<Login Name>\My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\<Commander Name>\<Patrol Nb>\

FYI the next release of SH3Cmdr will largely automate what you are wanting to achieve.

Thanks heaps mate!

If you are going to Canberra did you know there will be a big RC Model Sub fest in Woden over Easter? It would be great to catch up.

I can scan my still blank registration application and forward it to you if you would like. Email me on <hmsironduke@ozemail.com.au> and I can forward them to you.

The other thing you can see in Canberra is in the AWM extension, the Treloar Centre in Mitchell where they have the tank I commanded in Vietnam, along with a stack of other good gear.

Cheers

Brad
