No version of SH3Cmdr has had a no fatigue model that is anything other than a full no fatigue model!

Well,i remember one that would replace my basci.cfg every time i started the game and tried all the combinations.Anyway,the 2.3 works fine.Thanks.

HomeFleet Battleships and Homefleet Carriers & Cruisers skins by type941 also would be a nice addition

JScones, how about a option to not overwrite the en_menu.dat file upon loading the game from SH3 Commander? I have a heavily modified en_menu.dat file I prefer to use. Currently I'll just back out of the game once it is loaded and replace the en_menu file with my own, but this of course takes up extra time.

SH3Cmdr does NOT overwrite the player's "en_menu.dat" file upon loading the game from SH3 Commander.

Make sure you are using SH3Cmdr version 2.3

?? By default, SH3Cmdr only changes the following en_menu.txt entries:

13
46
160-174
260-266
330-338
589
902-904
1740-1744
1988-1997

most of which are based upon your selections and none of which would clash with your modifications. Indeed, even if there were clashes, simply paste the respective values you want into the SH3Cmdr "Menu static.txt" or "Menu variable.txt" files to ensure that, regardless of mods installed, you always get the text you want.

Yep, I figured it out now. Thank you!

Since there are at least 4 different "partly cloudy" sky mods out there, is it possible to add these to the RANDOM section in SH3Cmdr 2.4 and make them work ???

[Crop-Duster]

Can we get a version of SH3 Commander for Win98SE pretty please?

I just tried out your S3Commander 2.3 today. Nice work mate. But i'm thinking it's just another part of what really could be better consolidated into a whole. For instance...

...Are you aware of the game 'Pirates of the Cariibbean'?? You probably are. Well all the most aggressive modders of that game got together to produce an excellent consolidated mega-mod of dozens of mini-mods. The result was a one shot installation that revamped the entire game. It was a sort of half-arse 'hollywood movie-game' to begin with. But the modders made it passable and fun.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

SH3 has a few rough edges. Mainly the "fatigue" factor and it's effect on micromanagement.. The rest of the game is much more than just passable. Unlike POTC the pirate sim. SH3 could even be super-modded into a TOTAL CONVERSION along similar ficticious battle lines as 'Enigma Rising Tide'. Simply re-skinning all the subs and ships and everything else looks easy. The mechanics of the game are rock solid and would be a great base to build upon. I do feel "slightly" uncomfortable playing this game as a Nazi U-boat captain torpedoeing Allied shipping. As i do recall the horrific documentaries that painted that grim pictures. Alot of merchant seaman went overboard in the icy Atlantic and were not rescued by the Germans. But it's just a game and it's the best subsim. Until we can mod this over to perhaps what SH2 was. Americans verses the Axis.

Anyhow your skills creating SH3 Commander 2.3 could be very useful within a mod team to create these ideas and implement them. Really. Modding this games skins and the storyline all look relatively easy. The rest can all be easily compensated for by the players imagination. Operating a USA Submarine in this game only requires an outer game layer makeover. A vast makeover. But all easily doable from any technical aspect...

CaptainKobuk,


The current consolidated mod for SH3 is called Improved U-Boat mod (IUB)... It is a big mix of community mods and other various files.

However there are some new "upgrades" coming out. They are currently being worked on.

SH3Cmdr + IUB or SH3Cmdr + RUb...what more could you ask for?

You could add them to the Random section in r2.3. Although I say this not having (knowingly) seen any of them.
