so i just do as you say to uninstall every thing except SH3Cmdr.ini and then install 2.6 is this alright with GW and can i do it mid patrol and also in the same carear.
or would you reccomend a fresh install of SH3 then GW then your great SHC 2.6

Installing whilst in a current career is perfectly OK, but I'd return to base first. Then I'd follow the steps outlined on the previous page of this thread.

You definitely don't need to touch your installation of SH3/GW in any way (indeed, this is regardless of whether you run GW, RUb, NYGM, IUB or vanilla), but I will draw this paragragh from the GW readme file to your attention:

This mod is fully compatible with SH3 Commander. However, in order to maintain the integrity of the destroyer aggression modifications, it is recommended to leave or set the "Lost contact time" to 15 minutes in SH3 Commander’s. Please refer to the SH3 Commander Help file for further instructions.

Awesome! I love this mod so much, great job JScones! If you don't have SH3 Commander and want a more exciting and realistic career in SH3 then I highly recommend you get it.

And whys that ? The flag used in my signature is in SH3 and is historical. I'm not a facist and don't plan on becoming one either I also reread the terms and conditions for this forum and aside from one mention of "objectionable material" it refers mainly to illegal software so I'm well within bounds here.

I don't run any major altering mods via "JSGME" but I would disable them. I also unistalled the previous SH3 Commander and deleted the old folder to start fresh. So far I have not noticed any problems so I hope this helps.

Well, you can install it without screwing your current career up, but please don't install it over your current copy of SH3Cmdr. Follow the steps outlined in http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...0&postcount=15 (from page 1 of this thread).

I'll think you'll find he simply means size wise. Onkel Neals' edict being 120H x 400W (http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopi...age+size+limit or http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=81920 if you can't access the first thread).

It's more of a request than an edict

Yeah, Jager, could you make you sig a little smaller, it would help people with smaller monitors

Thanx Jaesen. Must've been quite some work!!

Can I ask a question about problems with SH3 Commander in here? Yes? Good, as I have one.

The problem is as follows:
Suddenly SH3-Comander won't load SH3 anymore. The reason is, that it can't write into the NSS_Uboat7c.cfg and ends the launch-prrocess with an according error-message. When I look into the file's properties it says "read only". I then uncheck this option and try to launch SH3 again and again the error occures because the "read only"-status has mysteriousely returned... I tried several combinations of unchecking and restarting/rebooting but nothing worked so far. As I said, the error suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

So, what can I do?

Until someone with the real answer shows up, you may want to try this - be sure to do a "search" on your PC for that particular file name, and then make sure you change all instances of the file to uncheck "read only" - it may be that SH3 Commander is copying a different file than the one you changed from some backup location, overwriting the one you changed with one that's still "read only"

Just a thought - I'm not sure if SH3 Commander really does this, but I've had a very similar problem with some other program/application doing something like this, so it may be worth a try.

Good luck!

Are you rolling back SH3Cmdr before removing the r/o attrib? If not, then when SH3Cmdr next rolls back, it will simply return the backed up copy of the file in question, complete with r/o attrib. That's most likely your problem.

Unfortunately, some mods (I don't know which ones) include r/o files. Silly me never foresaw this possibility (perhaps so obvious in hindsight) as stock SH3 files are not r/o and I didn't imagine that modders would add it!

There are also two other possibilities which you may like to pursue:
1. some a/v software "inoculates" files by adding the r/o attrib. Maybe yours is one of them?
2. you must be logged in as a full administrator (this is generally the case, but if you have an account for you and one for anyone else in your house, this may not be the case).

Yes, that was exactly my problem. I just unchecked the r/o (so that's the abbreviation for it?) in SH3-Comm's !BACKUP-folder and everythings alright again. Just don't ask me, how the r/o-status got there in the first way. I installed my last mod almost a month ago and it always worked till yesterday.
However, it works again and I'm happy.
Thank you.

Good. Still would have been better to rollback SH3Cmdr first though, but if everything is working fine now...
