This is only a working title for now as stated in a the first post of this thread. My sincerest apologies for any misdirected PMs to you about this project. Thread title has been changed to *hopefully* avoid further confusion.

No worries on a name change. It will happen. From what skwasjer posted earlier, he doesn't like the previous name suggestions. So, he is also wanting suggestions for a suitable name for this mod/program.

Thanks for all your contributions to SH3, JScones! JSGME is sheer brilliance as is SH3 Commander.

Starting from scratch has it's advantages, but it's also my biggest disadvantage with SH3Cmdr in people's minds

As far as name suggestions, they are welcome. One of the old suggestions I did like: SH4HQ (or Head Quarters), or maybe without H4 joining them together, SHQ (similar to S3D). Any suggestion should not be related to the Pacific, nor US force, because with the upcoming addon, or future mods, such name would not fit (which is why I don't like most of previous suggestions).

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Hello
is there away to make single mission to work like carreer mode. that is
after ending one single mission you can have upgrades etc carry over to next
mission like in carreer mode.I think that a chain of single missions are more
interesting to play than generic carreer mode.

Hello again
How sh4/sh3 launcher can help with chain of missions.
You play mission one and at some point get a radio message to end mission and also a CODE.
You exit game and go back to launcher, and enter CODE.
this CODE will launch your next mission and also maybe install a mod that has
upgrades ,sensor ranges, guns, torpedoes, ammo, crew, etc that are needed in
mission. This next mission is not maybe next one in chain but a jump in chain,
depending on what you did in previous mission.

My suggestion for sh4/sh3 launcher is: one CODE can launch a single mission/patroll
and also istall a MOD that is part of that mission/patrol.

Maybe like this: Code-xab x= remove mod x, a=install mod a. b= run single mission b.

Hello
Maybe in CODE XAB : "run mission b" is not possible, and you can only start
game from launcher. But "run mission b" can be put in a mod this way,
CODE: XA= X=remove mod x, A=load mod a. In mod a is also mission b.
After loadin mod a, launcher will start game and player goes to "single mission"
or "war patroll"and starts mission/patroll b, and mission/patroll chain/series continues.
What do you think is it possible to do??:hmm:
