OK, this isn't a little nuance or annoyance . . .

...and thus it's out of scope.

Hi JScones,

from my work with SH3 Commander and discussions (see, e.g., http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=169588&page=2 and http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=149513&page=2 )I think that it would be great if Commander had the following additional three features:

1) Copy specified files with a certain probability (similar to the 'Randomized event.cfg' way). This allows more flexibility than the random folder feature.

2) Option for randomization only in port and keeping the effect over complete patrol (I guess difficult because of missing 'memory' feature and several Kaleuns in parallel)

3) Correlated events in Randomized events.cfg, i.e., several files are changed together with some probability (would allow to issue warnings via menu...txt about malfunctions made in *.sim files).

I assume point 2 requires a lot of work, so I guess it's not worth the effort. However, point 1 and 3 might require not that much work

Anyway, SH3 Commander in its present state is already a great tool! Thanks for creating it and all your efforts!

Regards, LGN1

Hi, I posted this already in another thread but now realized that this would be the correct one for my question:

Is there any way to change the commander personal data besides the name, such as place and date of birth, naval entry, crew no., in SH3Commander?

Thanks, Kapitän

Yup, SH3Cmdr keeps all this info in a config file. I can't check it at the moment but if I recall correctly, it's stored in SH3Cdr directory.

You will find the above detail in the SH3Cmdr_en file located at C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander GWX3.0

It's actually SH3Cmdr.ini.

Be aware though that SH3Cmdr doesn't just randomly pick dates from the air - every date relating to your history is calculated based on the Wehrmacht rules of the day. That is, SH3Cmdr works backwards from the career start date to determine your promotion dates and enlistment date, ensuring that the time you spent at each rank is realistic and within the "rules of the day" (which varied obviously as the war went on).

Thus if you change any date you might break historical continuity.
