Changing the U Boat number ?

SeaStorm · 05-13-06, 12:17 PM

Hi All,

I've started a new career, made my first patrol,and now i'm docked in Lorient, ready for my second patrol.

I've tried changing the boat's number in :

\My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\Player

--->Patrols,Patrols_0,Careers, careers_0

I still get the boat's older number. Anyone ?
Thanks.

You should use the SH3 Commander utility.

It lets you change all that kind of stuff very easity.

Thanx, Heibges, i just got GW and SH3 Commander and it works pretty fine.

I believe you only need to change the patrols_0 file. Your path looks right, except for the 'player' folder. Do you have a career folder under a name also? I have both the 'player' folder and a folder of my captain's name. That is my 'active' career, and the one I went to to change. That worked for me.

Hi Heibges

I've look in Commander, but I don't see where to change the boat number. I have not started my patrol yet.

robj250,

If you're docked in port, you should be able to change your U-Boat number. Select your current career under Existing Careers and then it should show Rank/Name, Status, Current Date, Last Patrol End, U-Boat, etc.

Next to "U-Boat" line, it should show your U-Boat number and U-Boat Type. I'm currently in a patrol, but if I remember correctly, the U-boat number should be high-lighted blue and underlined if you can change it. When you click on that it gives you an option to change the number.

Good Luck!
