Taking SH3 Commander to 2.7 ?

JScones · 08-31-06, 08:06 AM

I actually have a prototype of an "expanded patrol log" plug-in for SH3Cmdr which I developed back in January this year. Works quite nicely and by supporting user-defined filters and editing, turns the default SH3 event log into a fully personalised patrol log. And it supports any language.

The problem is though, with only one of me, explaining how to edit the filters and the like would be too time consuming (as even the most elaborate readme would go unread). I was contemplating releasing a less functional version, but I couldn't bring myself to releasing anything that wasn't up to scratch.

Unfortunately, I have stopped development on the plug-in and have no plans on ever releasing it.

Boo!

I found this thread looking for exactly that! A personalized logger.

Can you tell me where the default event log is held? All I can find is the 'ships sunk' stuff, not the "chat log".

Here Here!!

Even without all the technicalities of torpedo's fired, etc, a log that you could actually type in would be great. I can write in for myself when I fired torpedo's, etc, or at least, I could if I could write in my patrol log.

Heck, I would even settle for somebody telling me where the file is that allows me to edit my old patrol logs, then I could keep a scratch pad and import the information.

This is a great concept that hopefully will be integrated someday.

Thanks for all the SH3 Commander work, it is an awesome program that still makes the game refreshing. I just "discovered" the malfunction function, which I love.

Thanks again,
Yarre.

Thanks for the replies JScones, and everyone else. Good suggestions there.

It would be great if we could find out where the actual log in, we can just fill it in.

Notewire · 09-09-06, 07:04 PM

JScones, do you know where we can just manually add to the log by any chance?

Thanks if you do, and thanks for all the mods if you don't.

Highest Regards,

Manually editing the file would be a pain considering how it's stored.

How's this: I'll be interstate with RL work for the next two weeks, but when I get back I'll release a basic log editor.

It will be basic - it won't include auto-filtering - but it will allow you to easily manipulate the file and add, edit or delete entries.

It will save your edited log as a separate (ie outside of SH3) CSV file so you can take it from there and import it into MS Office, Frontpage or wherever to further format and manipulate. Maybe I'll also provide the ability to export the log into SH3 format, so you can plug it back into SH3 as well. Dunno yet.

It will be a stand alone product, ie NOT integrated with SH3Cmdr.

It will look somewhat like this:

Hopefully it will be considered useful.

I stumbled on this last night while I was looking for something else - the "chat log" seems to be kept in the file called "<savedgamename>.crp" in the My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\<nameofKaleun>\<hig hestpatrolnumber> folder.

Been counting the days till JScones returns - his two weeks away IRL should be just about up

Can't wait to see what sort of goodies he comes up with on this
