SH3 Commander-The Complete Super Deluxe Thallium Commander's Special Ultimate Edition

[onelifecrisis]

Thanks JS!
But, I have a question... what is Thallium?

[Awful Smutje]

It's better than "Ultra"!
:rotfl:

[Stingray67]

So I installed according to the instructions (slavishly) :-)
I completed my first patrol with it using an old career that was in port when I installed the new SH3 Commander.

All was well and I got a beautiful personnell profile and promoted deserving crew through the crew manager.

But when I accessed the crew manager today ALL CREW IS GONE!!!!!!

A IXC is big and lonely when you are the only one aboard. What gives.
Have I screwed up or is there a flaw?

I am using GWX2.1 and am using only GWX included mods except life boats 4.

Have received 6 PM's today asking the position/procedure if one is using GWX3.0 and never had any version of SH3Commander installed.

Jaesen or anyone else care to advise :hmm:

Install SH3Commander as any new program
Then follow his instructions for adding the GWX3 cfgs in - IE run the GWX3 cfg installer to point at a any folder you choose just not SH3commander
Then manually copy over all the cfgs EXCEPT ship names

Though Jaesen explains it much better

[Awful Smutje]

Maybe he adds some diagramms... :p
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sorry... Must have swallowed a clown...

Yes, one could simply follow the 8 steps I listed in my first post. Not sure why people would think that there'd be different steps. :hmm:

Dunno. If it was a flaw though I highly suspect that a few hundred other people would have mentioned it by now.

Email me the career files (not the files in any sub folders titled 0, 1, 2 etc). Email address as per JoneSoft.txt.

Maybe it was a temporary glitch
I went back and loaded the previous save "In base after mission" instead of "In base before mission" and got my crew back through that. I guess that means I don't have a usable career file to send you. I'll come back with the issue if it presents itself again.

I am also getting warning messages about three .act files (action, camera-something and a third I can't remember off-hand. They started after installing SH3 Commander 3.2, but I don't know if that would be related or if it is a case of my SH3 install that has just been bollixed for other reasons. They don't seem to affect loading or playing of the game though. Your Commander is the only change I have made.

Thanks for the reply...and for your absolutely fantastic mod. It bears repeating.

If you like, pls send to me anyway. I can try to replicate a problem (let me know, if you remember, what changes you made).

I suspect the latter. SH3Cmdr doesn't directly touch any .act files, but I know people from time-to-time post error screens when running SH3/GWX that refer to specific .act files. BBW I think is the expert on fault-finding those kinda errors.

The first q I'd ask though is have you (re)installed the GWX compatibility files? If you don't that will certainly cause random CTDs with GWX. And I think the camera file is one of them.

Either way, this problem may also be the cause of your crew config problem. :hmm:

Thanks for the reply. I'll mail them this evening (European Time) when I get back from work.

I did install the GWX compatibility files. I am running GWX2.1 so maybe if this problem persists I will install GWX3. I am hesitant about doing it since I had problems getting it to work on my Vista machine (if it ain't broke...) Also I am unsure about the effects of GWX3 graphics enhancements effects om my computer performance. I guess I will cross that bridge when I get to it. :-)

Neither do I. Thallium is a highly toxic metal. See here: http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thallium.

It's almost ironic with all the error reports that have been posted
