Genius!

Ummm, how do I do that?

Easy! Just copy the file Cfg\Randomized events.cfg from your SH3C folder to your desktop. Open it in Notepad and add the following lines at the end:

;--------------------BdU REVIEWS NEUTRAL SINKING
[NEU0

ata\Cfg\Basic.cfg]
ApplyToPeriod=19390101|19400131
ChooseFrom=5
RndMidPat=1
0_RENOWN|NEUTRAL=-1
1_RENOWN|NEUTRAL=0
2_RENOWN|NEUTRAL=0
;-------------------------
[NEU1

ata\Cfg\Basic.cfg]
ApplyToPeriod=19400201|19401231
ChooseFrom=5
RndMidPat=1
0_RENOWN|NEUTRAL=0
1_RENOWN|NEUTRAL=0
;------------------------------
[NEU2

ata\Cfg\Basic.cfg]
ApplyToPeriod=19410101|19411231
ChooseFrom=5
RndMidPat=1
0_RENOWN|NEUTRAL=0
;------------------------------------
[NEU3

ata\Cfg\Basic.cfg]
ApplyToPeriod=19420101|19451231
ChooseFrom=10
RndMidPat=1
0_RENOWN|NEUTRAL=0
;--------------------end BdU REVIEWS NEUTRAL SINKING

[/QUOTE] Make the file into a JSGME-compatible mod for SH3C and activate it. Or just drop the file into the \Cfg folder of your SH3C.

Oh, and don't forget to set NEUTRAL=1 in the Data\Cfg\Basic.cfg file of your SH3 folder.

EDIT: For Heaven's sake, the "smart" software puts a

in every time I want to put in a <colon>D! How do I make it stop? Anyway Steve, that's a : followed by a D.

EDIT 1/22/2015: LGN1 posted a similar version about 3 years ago. Full credit to him.

I don't think you can.

:+D - got it.

Thanks.

[edit] Here's a funny part: When I copied and pasted the whole column into a new text file, it didn't recognize the symbol and dropped the colon and the 'D' altogether. I had to manually type each one back in.

BTW, Steve, I have similar little randomized blocks for the esrly-war torpedo depth problem (You know they generally run deep, but you can't be sure how much.) and boat trim (Does your LI have her trimmed heavy or light today? Need to make a trim dive to know for sure.). Just short blocks that copy and paste into SH3C Randomized events.cfg. I can post them if anyone is interested.

Just FYI for those playing the Merchant Fleet Mod - the neutral paint schemes can be deliberately deceptive. This was intended to represent neutral ships that sailed in convoy with British escorts or traded with the enemy. Under maritime law they were legitimate targets. It is up to you to pay attention to factors like a ship's location, reaction to your submarine, deck cargo, and presence in a convoy.

Are you open to a faster way to do this?

On small files the time saved is not much but on big files?
It can save you major headaches!

This could be another blithering genius post!!

I hope you're familiar with the term "Yes, please".

Do a big post for Steve so I can show him an easy trick.

Apologies, LGN1. I was not aware of your post. I didn't mean to poach.

LGN1 · 01-22-15, 02:36 PM

Hi BigWalleye,

no problem at all! I didn't want to 'claim' this idea for me. Chances are high that someone else did it even earlier!

I just read the conversation and it reminded me of the old conversation. And because it was so similar, I thought it's funny.

I'm happy for everyone who shares his ideas here! That's what a forum is for

Regards, LGN1

@Sailor Steve: I hope you don't feel offended by my post.

And I see that I was the one who asked the question.

I think the problem was that while I was always on Subsim I wasn't actually playing at all. I probably have it written down somewhere I'll never find it again.

Clearly, you had a very good idea!

It amazes me how much can be done with SH3 Commander, and how easily! Wish Jscones were still around to thank.

What's that Jimbuna always says?
I need another Beer!

NO! Not that one!
None of us is as smart as all of us.
Or something like that.
