SH3 Commander excludes the two NCOs without Portepee (Unteroffiziere ohne Portepee) ranks and Oberbootsmann. There's no way to add more ranks to SH3 - the only option is to change the text labels for the current ranks (then, you'd have the change the images as well and three ranks would still need to be dropped).

Both RUb and SH3 Commander correct the rank labels for English language players using German ranks (the v1.4b patch fixes the German ranks for German players). SH3 Commander includes more accurate player rank labels for US and UK players, but due to the rigid 3-3-3 rank approach of SH3, the comparison against the lowest three rank levels is not quite right. But it's about the best possible.

OK. 1 for the idea is better than none!

I've made the change - it's in r2.4. I'd prefer to save what is effectively user created data in an identified user created data area anyway. I was tempted to save them to the SH3 folder, but I don't want to introduce potential "side effects" within the game itself.

JScones · 12-25-05, 03:03 AM

I've updated the r2.4 change list - two new features added today.

Mikkow · 12-26-05, 04:12 PM

I'm most grateful for being allowed such amazing improvements all for free.

Looks like you pretty much are implementing every thing I dreamed of. How could I be anything but bloody pleased? My hands thank you too - no more need to rename crews so massively after a death - I have Repetitive strain injury in the hands!

About putting stuff in 'my documents' - I prefer to keep that to personal files, not game saves. Though other games are in there already anyway...

Type941 · 12-26-05, 04:34 PM

I encourage/ask if you include my skin updates, including the passenger liners. :|\

gdogghenrikson · 12-26-05, 07:29 PM

1. how about including setkeys (or something like that, or a light version of setkeys) in the next release

2. Is there any way to let us pick our torpedo loadout using sh3 commander. Like when you start from a base that isnt home base and you cant pick you loadout. maybe sh3 commander can do that before sh3 launches.

Like SH3 hehe. Only Personnel Files will go in there, under the same structure that currently exists under "\SH3 Commander\" (ie "\Personnel Files\<Career Name>". I think they are more accessible to all players there.

I'll talk to Beery...

Type941 · 12-26-05, 07:47 PM

Yes, for instance I plan to make an early war skin releases for the capital ships, some time at some stage...

Damn, so little time.

JScones · 12-27-05, 11:18 PM

OK. Release 2.4 should be available ~ first week of January. The coding's done, just now finalising new mod inclusions. Curiously, has anyone here created their own "add-ons" for SH3Cmdr? ie, language packs, added fatigue models, historically accurate ship or crew names, file tweaks, etc etc. If so, pls let me know - some may be worthy inclusions or at least "SH3 Commander add-ons"!

Anyone know what values to change in what files to remove say, the deck gun, or radar? What else should be able to be removed?

OK. One would hence expect that if I set these values to -1 in Careers_0.cfg, they will be gone from the next patrol in the current career. I'll try it. Seems easy enough.

Curiously, in Careers_0.cfg, what do the following keys refer to/mean:

E02=NULL
Z01=3 <conning tower>
M01=1 <deck gun>
A01=8 <flak gun>
A02=-100 <flak gun>
S01=-100 <flak gun>
S02=-100 <flak gun>
S03=-100 <flak gun>
ALB=-1 <alberich - educated guess!>
TAR=-1 <tarnmatte - educated guess!>

<for the below, not so much what the keys mean, but what is the significance of the values? No matter what I set them to, SH3 sets them back to 0>
AttackPeriscope=0.000000
ObservationPeriscope=0.000000
RadioAntenna=0.000000

An answer will allow me to determine whether an idea I have is worth pursuing... More importantly, it may also just put the "continuing career with new commander" feature back on the schedule (I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that)!

EDIT: I see you responded to my now deleted post
