Ok, been browsing google and the forums and honestly have only succeeded in giving myself a headache. I have recently reinstalled SH3 after a long hiatus and decided to put SH3 commander back in the lineup. Install of everything went great, up until I started commander.

It starts up, I can manage my settings, but when I try to select my starting flotilla all I see in the drop down is "Error!".

Anyone have a solution? Spent 2 hours on this and can't figure out where the issue is at.

Running SH3 with GWX works fine. Commander is the issue.

Hi Hambone307 when you installed the Commander Mod did you also install the GWX-SH3Commandercfg File if not link below

Just double checked and installed that, still no dice. Still have "error" in the drop down menu for starting base.

First off I want to say I really love this mod and really appreciate all the effort that went into it but I had a few questions. These are really minor things but I figured i'd ask anyway.

Do you still get promoted with this mod installed? I ask because I just recently went through a career for the first time with this and was retired after 8 patrols without getting promoted. I started in September of '39 with a Type II with the 1st Flotilla and got roughly 50,000 tons over 8 patrols. I was awarded the U-boat clasp, German Cross, and the Iron Cross but was never promoted. Main reason I ask this is to find out if this is WAD or if I did something wrong during installation. I haven't noticed any other odd behavior or things out of place but I remember getting promoted to Oberleutnant zur See after one or two patrols in base SH3 + GWX so I wasn't sure if Commander changed the requirements for promotion.

Secondly, am I screwing myself by playing with the Type II regarding the retirement calculation? I'll admit I don't know anything about how often sub commanders were retired but that career seems...rather short. Each patrol was around 10 days at sea due to the limited number of torpedoes I had. I know this is easily fixed by just unchecking the 'realistic career' box but I was mainly just curious about it. I'm planning on doing the former and playing through until I get some time in with the Type VII anyway.

Thanks in advance for your responses and thanks again for this great mod!

Works fine for me. I suspect that sticking with the Type II may be your problem as KL seems over ranked for the canoe operationally in the long term as opposed to a training assignment.

I was promoted KL from OLzS after my second Type VII patrol where I sank two ships for 15,000+ GRT plus a Black Swan frigate and Flower corvette. The warship kills were in desperation after receiving significant damage and running the battery down to <25%. Got a Knight's Cross for the pair and presumably you get Oak Leaves for bagging a third...
