Taking SH3 Commander to 2.7 ?

Thanks, JScones, that will be excellent!

Wow, Talk about answering the mail, that is GREAT!!!

Man - this sounds awesome! I don't really understand the implications of the statement that "It will be basic - it won't include auto-filtering - but it will allow you to easily manipulate the file and add, edit or delete entries." - but then again, I don't care! Anything like this would be better than what we have now, so I'm really looking forward to this whatever it winds up being able to do.

It would be even more awesome to be able to have some tiny bit of integration or whatever it would take to maybe have the patrol entries in the personnel file created by SH3 Commander be able to have a link to the appropriate war diary/patrol log entry/file for that patrol, but as I said above I'm not about to look this gift horse in the mouth and will be extremely grateful for anything along these lines.

Gonna be tough to wait these next couple of weeks

I'll even volunteer to perform the necessary operation on kylania if that would help speed up the process

Jones thank you - I know that you have said you will not work on SH3 commander after all the trouble you had because your support was superior. Answering a lot of our questions had made many ppl thinking sh3cmdr is responsible for quite a lot.
That is not really wrong, but they thought about bugs - and I think there is a lot good potential that has not been explored by us.

So now that you have been talked into doing this great log - any chance 2.7 is a possibility?

Is it impudent of me if I would like to see a feature where you can manually promote your crew - even if experience is not high enough.
I am doing the increase of experience manually for now and then I use SH3 Cmdr. You can award medals as you please but not promotions. And it would be a great thing to promote a long time Stabsgefreiter to a Bootsmann...

Actually JS's SHIII Commander already does most of this, and I just found it recently. If you "Clilck for Available Actions", then "Update Your Personel File", and once in, select a patrol you've completed.
Here's the Captain's Log for my 26th patrol, 16FEB43 - 28FEB43


Once in that section you'll see Date/Time, Grid and Occurances. Even the time you've sank an enemy ship is shown. It's all saved in Internet Explore somehow, but could it saved to a document file without having to use the internet? If that's how it works.

For me everything done while on a patrol and the time isn't necessary as I keep a paper log of dates/times of the important "happenings", like JS has shown above with his new logfile form. Just changing the way it's saved in SHIII Commander JS might save you more work in the longrun, I think.

Aye, SH3 commander does do all of that, as does SH3, but it misses important events like, getting depthcharged, diving to the bottom for repairs, etc.

I think that is what we were getting at with the Log updates, that and the ability to add things into your log as a Kapitan would.

Awesome! I am just wondering, is SH3 Commander compatiable with the mod "U-boat War Ace Campaign v1.92" ?

I stumbled on this last night while I was looking for something else - the "chat log" seems to be kept in the file called "<savedgamename>.crp" in the My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\<nameofKaleun>\<hig hestpatrolnumber> folder.

Been counting the days till JScones returns - his two weeks away IRL should be just about up Can't wait to see what sort of goodies he comes up with on this
