I imagine you come from England cause here there are a lot of british people living and working among us.

One more thing... i heared that sh3 commander let you create patrol logs with informations about ships sunken (names, cargo and crew lost) but i only get the names of the ships. How must i do in order to obtain the informations about crew lost and cargo?

Thanks

Bottom right of Commander, actions, update career then patrol logs.

[Mysanthropus]

Yes i do that, but my problem is that in my personal file i only obtain information about ship's names but no info about crew and cargo. In fact, the only options in action's menu are:update your personal file, review patrol logs,manage your crew,nightclub and delete carrer.


I have activated the option use real ship names in patrol logs and in the pdf manual of sh3 commander said that:

"Use real ship names in patrol logs: Select this option to replace the generic Silent Hunter III
ship names (ie ‘C3 Cargo’) in the patrol logs with real ship names and (where known) cargo and crew details."

Have you tried reviewing the patrol and then selecting the update option?

Which version of Commander are you using? If 2.7 then you won't get details, just names. Only the latest 3.2 version http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=2923 gives the details.

I'm using last version of sh3 (3.2)

Here is my first log, i thought that crew information of sunken ships was offered (deads, survivors...) and information about cargo but maybe i'm wrong.

So, it's just this information what we get from personal files log in sh3?

Thanks

No, it should say something like:

SS Fantasmagorica (Medium Tanker) 5872 tons. Cargo: Crude Oil. Crew: 48. Crew Lost: 17.

I can't show you a Commander log because I rewrite mine to tell the story of the attack, and relist all the sinkings together at the bottom, so it doesn't look the same.

[edit] Here is the last page from one of my patrol logs. You can see how I've written in my notes so it reads like a real log, with the sinkings collected at the bottom. I didn't change anything, just grouped them together. Also note that after you've saved your log it will show up in SH3 when you reload the game.



Check that you have Commander set to Auto Rollback. That may make a difference.

Steve,
How do you get that info to show up in your in-game logs? I've never seen that happen.

I think I have 3.2 but I'm not 100% sure right now. I need to double check the version of SH3Commander I'm using.

[Sailor Steve]

Once you've saved your Commander log, the next time you boot up SH3 just go into your career and look at the log. It will be there.

[sharkbit]

Wow! I knew you could edit things in the patrol results in Commander but I never knew it would show up in game. That is cool, I'll have to play around with it some.
Thanks.

The things that are possible with Commander are amazing. A big to JScones for developing this addition to SH3(as well as JSGME).

[Jimbuna]

Yes...two pieces of essential kit

[Mysanthropus]

Well, i've been investigating and i've finally found the problem, but i'm not sure of doing the right even if i get my personal files with all the informations (name,cargo and crew).

I realized that the file called ship_names i had in my cfg folder of sh3 commander (after executing sh3commander config for gwx) hadn't cargo and crew informations. So what i've done is just replace this file with the old file (wich had all the infos) and voilà. Now it's everything ok apparently. But i don't understand why the exe file for cfg with gwx install the file without cargo and crew (288kb) and the old one has all the informations (211kb)

I also would like to know if this mod called "Sailor Steve's ships name mod" is better and come with more names, cargos and crew, where can i find it and how to install (¿via jgme or overwritting ship_names file in sh3 commander?).

Thank you very much for your help

[Jimbuna]

GWX was released before the other mod so go to the downloads section and grab Steve's latest file update...you won't be disappointed.

D'OH!

I should have thought of that. The 3.2 version should have all the information, but if yours didn't, then it didn't. Sorry about that.

Yes. I've dedicated a large part of my time to adding names to the Commander files. I was doing an update every month, but last year that was put on hold. Now it's back and all is explained in this thread.

How to install it is explained in the readme, but it doesn't hurt to expain it again. Just put it in the SH3 Commander folder and overwrite it. I will have a new one for the first of May.

Thanks a lot Sailor Steve.

It's a real big job and you use your time for improving this mod. People like you makes things easier and better for everybody. You are my hero
