Jaesen, you're simply amazing!

Forget medals, I vote we kick out that Chaplin-esque loon that's running the show and make JScones the new Fuerher in SH3!

Well JS, now I can switch from my method editable pdf file with foxitreader (see screenshot) to yours. Thank you will definitely try it out.

Thank you.

Cool.

I guess at some point I'll add an "import" option so output from stuff like this can be effortlessly imported straight into the logs via the editor.

Which reminds me - another thing players can do is save their game just before final docking.

Then they can open their save game's .crp file and copy and paste the significant entries, like weather reports (assuming they called for them in game), or ship sightings or whatever, as new log entries via the editor.

In fact, my original intention was to grab the .crp file and filter out all the rubbish, leaving behind just the relevant stuff. But alas, time was the problem.

Hmmm...expanding on my point above, I guess I could write a separate mid-patrol editor that players could use during the patrol and then when finished they could save and then import via this editor.

That way players who take hand written notes will be happy with what they have now, but players who prefer to record notes electronically while they play (via alt-tabbing) will benefit from being able to quickly import them directly into the patrol log via this editor.

Perhaps just a text file in format

Code:

yyyymmdd,hhmm,eventstring1
yyyymmdd,hhmm,eventstring2
etc

Means that players won't even need a special tool to do it if they don't want to - just Notepad and some discipline would be sufficient. Heck, even Excel or any spreadsheet that saves to csv or tab limited format would work fine; I won't even need to write a specific tool then (bonus

).

But I'll only consider an import function if enough players want it...
