SH3 Gen

GlobalExplorer,
I love your mod, but I don't have a lot of computer savvy. In your tracking room instructions, you state the GIS is very powerful and you will issue instructions if you can find the time. Are you still going to work on this? I don't have the foggiest idea of how to use all this date, and manipulate it to get the most out of it.
You also mention a property table. When I click on the name, I get a 404 file not found error. Where is it and how do you use it?

Yes. I absolutely recommend to keep intelligence very low, possibly even lower than the default settings, as the value is set to give some instant results for new unexperienced users, if you have experience you will change them anyway.

The reliability param is another thing, and depends on your config. If you configure Sh3Gen to use only the SCR layer, it might be a good idea to lower the reliability until the updates are not always dang on. If you use the RND (with or without the SCR) reliability is a big problem because Sh3Gen can only guess if the game will spawn the unit or not. So it might be best to set reliability to max in that case.

The default setup is intended to be a good compromise of you use all the default features, but depending on whether you're a casual player or a realism freak you must move them into one or the other direction.

I think I am guilty of having promised too much here. I am still very much interested in the subject, but there are a lot of things that have kept me from SHIII and my projects, namely work and a ****ty situation with internet access. Did you know that a lot of people in East Germany have no access to DSL because there is no such option for the expensive fibre optics telephone cables that the Bundesrepublik built for them during the 90s? If I should find a way to get into the internet in the evenings you would see me more often in this place.

There is a guide on how to add/edit marks into the Sh3Gen GIS part, but it involves complicated procedures like editing an xml file and creating approximate marks in SHIII in the correct order. I did not expect a lot of people to use this feature, it was just the only working approach I could come up with.

Maybe you could download the full TatukGIS application (it has a trial period of 30 days) it has full functionality to edit the maps generated with Sh3Gen. You could also get a completely free GIS tool (like QGIS or SAGA), but it requires some knowledge that I cannot teach. Maybe someone else in the forum can do it one day, I know there are some regular users who have cracked it without any trouble.
