SH3Gen question

[GreyBeard]

I recently started using this program again, because I had always liked it. Should I generate a new report and map with every game save or just once during a patrol? Twice now i tried generating a new report and map on the 2nd game save which resulted in a ctd. So I'm wondering if the program might be corrupted or if it can be used only once during a patrol?

You should have a different MOD folder for each installation eg: SH3, GWX.

I have a different directory for SH3 Stock and GWX. I use MultiSH3 to create the proper folder for game saves in My Documents. I have SH3Gen installed along side SH3-GWX and pointed it too the proper installation and to the game save. Since SH3Gen is an external utility that is not installed with JSGME I'm not really sure what you're getting at.

What did CTD, the game, or SH3Gen?

SH3Gen reads information out of your savegames. And if the settings allow, can insert markers of probable Intel-locactions into the savegamename.map file. So, yeah, it would be prudent to generate a new report if you want that. But the game may need to be closed down before you do because of file-acces limitations (allready opened .map file)

I discovered recently that a mod I had installed at just about the same time was causing the problem, the Depth Charge Water Disturbance Mod, not SH3Gen. It would cause a ctd when loading a game save, without using SH3Gen. Since uninstalling that mod the ctds have stopped and SH3Gen functions as originally intended without problem, although I haven't tried using it a second time on the same patrol "yet." Before returning to base, that is. Next time out from port I'll probably try doing that.
