I'll have to agree with Steve, having randomized tunes would make a great mod.

Do you guys know that if you are running SH3Cmdr, then you have the ability to randomise fanfares, as well as basically any element of SH3?

You can start every patrol no matter where you are with a different fanfare!

Check the SH3Cmdr readme or search this forum for further detail on how to set it up. It's been raised and answered a number of times.

There's nothing you can't randomise with SH3Cmdr.

I have SH3Cmdr and I found the post where you gave an example like this:

Random\0\Date\19390901\data\Sound\Fanfara_01.wav
Random\1\Date\19390901\data\Sound\Fanfara_01.wav
Random\2\Date\19390901\data\Sound\Fanfara_01.wav
Random\3\Date\19390901\data\Sound\Fanfara_01.wav

But Im not quite sure where Im suppose add those lines and do I need to make the fanfares all different numbers?

They're not "lines", they're "files".

Basically, you add one copy of fanfara01.wav (let's say the "Gruß an Kiel" one) to a folder called "SH3 Commander\Random\0\Date\19390901\data\Sound\ (you create the latter three sub-folders).

You add one copy of fanfara01.wav (this time it's "Erzherzog-Albrecht-Marsch") to a folder called "SH3 Commander\Random\1\Date\19390901\data\Sound\. Whilst the file is different, it is important that it remain titled fanfara01.wav.

You add one copy of fanfara01.wav (this time it's "Muss I denn...") to a folder called "SH3 Commander\Random\2\Date\19390901\data\Sound\.

Repeat as many times as desired. Note: whilst SH3Cmdr "comes with" 5 random folders (numbered 0 to 4) you can add as many more as you like.

And that's it - SH3Cmdr will pick at random a fanfara01.wav file every time it runs. And the more fanfara01.wav files you have, the more variety you will get.

*NB, the example above assumes you haven't installed Rowi58's mod.

Now the cool thing is, if you install Rowi58's mod *plus* utilise SH3Cmdr's Random file structure, you can randomise tracks for each base (just add extra fanfara02...fanfara06.wav files to the Random folders). So you can have an exclusive set of files that you only want to play at say, Brest, and get them randomly each time you start a patrol there, but never get them at say, Bergen.
