SH3 Commander Patrol Log Editor

12-31-11, 10:23 PM

Meh!
I tried to use SH3Commander and the Patrol log thing but it's not working for me.
Probably need to actually do a patrol or something instead of just saveing in base at the start of a new Career.
Too busy working on the 12pdr to mess with it much right now, but isn't there some other file it saves to?

It seems to be a long time since anyone posted here - but I didn't find any solution to the "bootmless page" problem reported by Bootlegger, which is the same I find myself.

Any clues on why buttons are not displayed in our Log Editors?

Solved:

If anyone is having this issue with SH3 Commander, its a Windows setting issue, not with Commander.

You have to change the text size to the default (100%) size in the control panel.

Control Panel -> Appearance and Personification -> Display

Hope it helps the few of us who weren't getting everything out of SH3 Commander.

Woohoo! Now that's the way to bring back an old thread!

Thanks for working on that until you found an answer.

Brilliant Tupolev - brilliant!

It works like described.

Sad to say I still can't use it. The default setting with my Win7 (1920x1080) is 125%.
Switching down to 100% all displayed fonts turn fuzzy and I need a magnifying glass to read any text.

I'll live with it...

@Steve - I was really wanting to not necro, but this was bugging me so much I couldn't quite help it!

@Mittelwaechter - I'm running 1680x1050 so I don't have that particular problem. Two possible solutions, and I'm really just taking a stab at it...

1) Try a custom text size:
Control Panel -> Appearance and Personification -> Display
Its an option on the left of the window that says "Set custom text size (DPI)". Maybe setting 105% or 110% might work?

2) Fine tune the text:
Just above the "Set custom text size" option should be "Adjust ClearType text". Running through that might clear up the text?

Hope one of these helps you!

Thanks for your suggestions. I tried 110% and got the text line to show but not the buttons.
It doesn't matter.
If I urgently feel the want to alter any records, I can do now by switching to 100% - thanks to your discovery.

Great find!

Edit: I have an elegant solution for the problem, but I'd have to ask Jaeson Jones for his permission to sidestep the license agreement.
