v4.7.0 is available here: http://www.filefront.com/17402654/Ne...DarkWraith.7z/

the changes in this version are something I should've done a long time ago.

I'll update the ship's journal import/save boxes with a patch after I get confirmation that everything is working good with this version. There were many files changed/altered and I don't like making too many changes in each version release.

Options file CHANGED from v4.6.x

changelog for v4.7.0:

v4.7.0 - added the ability to select ship's journal at game start from the menu screen. At game end the current ship's journal will be remembered and will be restored at next game start
- added the ability to call up the ShipsJournalEditor application from the menu screen
- updated Ship's journal page and code
- updated ShipsJournalEditor application

At game start I get overlapping grey windows involved with the game journal loading and I can't select anything. Is there a way for me to disable this? It won't allow me do do anything but quit the game because the boxes are laying on top of the load game option of the menu.



It does not allow me to select Ships Journal to create a journal either.

Did you run your game with 4.7.0 + 4.7.2 patchfix?

[McHub532]

Is there a link to a "Before Ship Journal at Startup" version I can download to revert back until we can figure this out?

run the game with admin rights and see if the problem goes away

EDIT:

Looks like I've finally figured out the regional settings problem with the ship's journal. I was very annoyed with the fact that users whose regional settings weren't english-us had to change their system regional settings to english-us to make the ship's journal functional. That, to me, was absurd and not user friendly in any way. An end user should not have to change anything on their system to make an app work - the app should do 'all the work'. Thus, after spending all day reading and testing, I've found what appears to be a solution. I'll be posting a link to that solution here soon so those of you who wish to test it for me can.

A thing to note is that the changes made to make this appear to work involve rendering all previous ship's journal files invalid. That means you have to start new ship's journals - the old ones will not work anymore. Their is also a new extension to differentiate the 'new' way from the old way. The old way's file extension was .dat, the new way file extension is .sje.

I will try and work on a migrater app to migrate the old ship's journals to the new style ship's journals.

Thank you kindly!I also downloaded the #2 patch,I hope I got it right.

The admin trick is the way I've always run the game.
Any other suggestions super-awesome-narly-dude?

Now it sounds like your patched files are incorrect. How did you apply the patch?


Regarding the ship's journal: I have been in a C# programming mood so I worked on the ShipsJournalEditor app some more. To me it was an injustice to force the english-US style of date format on the end user. Problem was I wasn't really sure how to do it correctly. I've also figured that out from today's exploits and the ShipsJournalEditor app will display the date format in the format your regional settings are. I will make changes to the ingame ship's journal editor code to reflect this also.

I also coded in a migrater to the ShipsJournalEditor app. You will be able to select the 'old' style format extension in the open file dialog box so you can open up your old style ship's journals. Upon saving they will be saved in the 'new' style ship's journal format.

Oh, yes, class. And you can still ask, remember you do to beat the names of ships are visible in the center pereskopa, but you can make when you click on the name as SH3 leaped directory with the correct name of the ship. Yes or no, you do so?

I put it in the mods directory and then loaded it with JSGME. Was that wrong?

[McHub532]

The documentation in the Patch says its for patching 4.7.2
I only have 4.7.0
Is that why it's all messed up on the load screen and won't let me run the game now?
I've read the documentation (txt file) in the patch and done what it said.. but no fix.
