Well, then understand that you are not actually saving mid-patrol and that SH3, and SH3Cmdr, will correctly report you as "in base", because returning to base was your last action.

See that "?" icon on the main SH3Cmdr screen? Click it and all will be revealed. Of course, it assumes that you save mid-patrols correctly. As you have chosen not to, preferring to return to base to exit your game, then you can either reload SH3 directly as you currently are, foregoing all the benefits of SH3Cmdr, or you can reload through SH3Cmdr, but manually disabling the crew transfers and realistic retirement options.

well...I load midpatrol saves via sh3 directly, that is the last save before the base to start the new mission

when I return to base at the end of patrol I load end patrol via sh3cmdr

it looks like it works

Be aware, though, that if you have Commander set to Automatic Rollback, it undoes any functionality/options it added to the game for you when you exit the game. If you start SH3 again without going through Commander, you will not have those options during that gaming session as Commander was not allowed to do its stuff.

Also, if you want to make two saves to guard against the possibility of a corrupt file, you don't need to exit the game (or your patrol) in order to do that.

Just hit Esc and Save to create the first save file, then hit Continue or whatever to return to the game for a couple of seconds. Hit Esc again and then Save & Exit to make a second save before you exit the game. Just make sure you give the second save a different filename or you'll overwrite the first one you just made.

Many thx!

This horrible sh3 save system doesn't allow to delete previous files

Can anyone tell me where can I find this file?

Correct, if you delete a save it automatically deletes every save made after the one you chose to delete.

I'm assuming you want the program, not one specific file from an installation of it?

If so, the first post in this thread contains download links and instructions:

I am too in the process of reinstalling SH3 and now noticed that the download links in the first post of this thread are dead. Could anyone put the SHCommander 3.2 file somewhere for downloading?
