Rgr that!
I don't have the game installed atm.I just had some similar problems earlier,and thought this could be the problem.

Hmm this just got a little wierder. I edited the cfg as normal, started SH3 via SH3cmdr and started my patrol (saved prior to leaving port). Paused the game and tab out, checked the cfg and it has reverted back to -1, so it seems my change is being undone as soon as I start running SH3.

This is like asking the TV technician to fix your TV and when he comes to your house, he plugs it in and it is fixed.
Did you save your changes after you edited the file?

hehe I was wondering if someone would ask that

Yep, the file was properly saved etc.

Sounds like a rollback type issue with SHC. Do a rollback, then edit it. IF it changes again, Edit the file after SH3 has loaded, see if it sticks. If it does, you may have to do what I do and leave auto rollback unchecked, and just be real careful with your edits.

Tinman764 · 01-22-11, 10:59 AM

I'll give that a go aswell. I just made the file read only after the edit and it still didn't stick once I loaded my patrol.... is that even possible?

Tinman764 :
Try this: Edit your basic.cfg file as you wish and save it.
In the SH3commander directory you will find a directory named !BACKUP.
Copy the edited basic.cfg file there overwritting the one already in.

This will solve your problems. With me it works just fine.

Check your mods that you have installed, for some may have changed basic cfg. I got tired of editing all the mods cfg. file

so I created my own and installed last on JSGME

After you saved it, do you get the modified result after you open the file again? (don't start the game or SHC yet)

Perhaps you have Vista or Windows 7 and have SH3 installed into the default location in the Program Files folder. Files there are protected from tampering so the operating system might be the cause of the modification-undoing.

Rgr that. Any changes I've made to game files reside in a custom mod that I've created and enabled through JSGME.
