I opened it and doubleclick on your exe file and got the error message? I'm as confused as you are dude.

So then I fixed it by going to your website and downloading the actual program which works now. But your update link to your program option for the file is corrupted.

You don't even need to rollback. And you certainly don't need to reinstall GWX or NYGM config files.

Okay. I clicked the 'Updates' button. It tells me I have 3.1.1.179, and the available version is 3.1.2.181. So I click 'Download' and Commander goes away, just as if I had clicked the little red box with the 'x' in it. So I look again, and it gives me the same message. So I went to your website and tried to download 3.1.2 directly, and got a message saying it wants to run the full 3.1 Setup Wizard, not just overwrite two files. So I did that, and it still says I don't have 3.1.2.

Did you both closely read the message that SH3Cmdr gave you when it said that there was an update available? It tells you what to do after you've d/l.

JScones,

Without telling me where exactly you work, I noticed that you are a "Executive Director", what type of field are you in ?

JScones · 05-22-08, 06:29 AM

Customer Service / Public Relations.

Nah, just joking. :rotfl:

In broad terms, Project Management.

Does this have to do with SH3Cmdr? I couldn't figure out why this had happened.

When you click "continue career with a new commander" you have to check that it gives you the right boat. If your old commander was in an IX called U-65, and it generates a new commander in (for example) a II called U-125, do not launch the game! Go back to your old commander and click the "continue career with a new commander" button again and check the type and U-boat number again. Sometimes you have to do this several times before it gives you the right boat. It's a small quirk and easy to work-around (as I just described) once you know about it.
HTH
OLC

This is exactly what i wanted to point out but i wasn't sure for the workaround!
I just wasn't persistent enough to ensure this little trick works. This is also the reason i asked JScones if SH3Cmdr had anything to do with it and now i have to admit that the reason i mentioned the type of the boat and the date (IIA/1940) was for JScones to tell me if The IIA type seemed right for this date. Of course JScones didn't ought to understand all these and that because i wasn't clear enough. Why i was not clear? I had already been bothering JScones with some silly questions ...

So, excuse moi JScones.
Thanks again OLC.

End of confession. Forgive me father....

I have problem with new career and SH3Commander (the newest version).
I select name of Kaleun and flotilla - everything is OK in game. But when I choose crew configuration file (realistic for instance) and enable randomising crew names and experience options I always have stock SH3 crew names (Kopp, Smyczek etc.). What's wrong?

I've run into the same problem. "Realistic crew" seems to be ignored if checked.

I went back to version 3.0 and the realistic names feature works. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost my version 3.1.1. Can someone provide me with the sh3cmdr.exe for version 3.1.1 or the entire 3.1.1 file?

TIA

Dunno, seems pretty clear to me:

A new version of SH3 Commander is available. This is a minor update. After downloading SIMPLY UNZIP THE TWO FILES INTO YOUR SH3 COMMANDER FOLDER, overwriting the existing files. NB: If you are not running R3.1, you must download the full version from the JoneSoft website.

FIREWALL · 05-22-08, 08:43 PM

Hi JScones

A quick Thank You for a wonderful mod.

Btw I am not useing your GWX 2.1 cfg files and have not had a ctd in 8 patrols and don't foresee haveing any.

I'm not useing the GWX 2.1 bug fix either.

Just so there's no confusion in my post I'm useing GWX2.1 & SHC 3.1 and a handfull of other mods.

I betcha the SH4 fans on the other forum would KILL for a SHC Wolves 3.1 :p

JScones · 05-22-08, 08:52 PM

OK, thanks to a few recent posts, I have ascertained a few things:

1. In making SH3Cmdr fully compatible with the S-Boot mod, or indeed any as-yet-unreleased playable unit, ironically it seems that I broke compatibility when starting new careers for existing playable u-boats (with the exception of the Type II) insofar as the randomised crewmen names and experience option goes (works fine still without this option selected).

2. When continuing a career with a new commander, under certain (now identified) circumstances, the correct u-boat type will not be selected. Just follow OLC's suggestion above and all will be fine.

I'll have both problems fixed sometime this weekend.

I don't remember seeing all that...:hmm: Well thank for the clarification JScones.

JScones, could you fix this bug?

He says in an earlier post that he will fix this over the weekend.

JScones · 05-23-08, 05:59 AM

It didn't take long to fix the problems - tested and working fine my end, now just waiting for a few others to report back that all's well their end.
