! ) and later on when i finished this patrol the total tonnage for it did not show in the main screen of the personal file.

But the strange thing is that all the details for that patrol can be found after accessing the particular patrol log.

As i continued on other patrols everything shows up in the main screen of the personnel file except the numbers for the patrol i was on when i installed SH3Cmdr.

I've been comparing what i think are the sources on which the personnel file is based but can't find any obvious problems, so i don't have a clue as to why it's no adding up the numbers.

Any idea what it could be ? It's not a big deal but it still kind of irritates me

Thanks in advance

Was it your first patrol in that career? If so, check the last FAQ.

The problem is that now my modified fatigue models no longer seem to be having any effect. The file I originally modified was 'crew fatigue models.cfg' (I made edits so my crew fatigue at a much slower rate.)

I kept this file and replaced it into C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander\Cfg after doing all the new installing. When I run the new version of SH3 commander my model is showing as one of the available fatigue models to choose from and I have selected it but it doesn't seem to be having any effect in game.

More than likely i've stuffed up somewhere but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

From what you are saying you've done the right things.

I assume you upgraded from R2.3? If you upgraded from R2.2, then that could be your problem, but we'll go there only if we need to.

Have you checked your Basic.cfg file after SH3 has loaded (ie alt-tab back out and then check Basic.cfg to see if your values have been correctly inserted)? Try that and let me know.

By R2.3 i'm assuming you mean RuB? I'm currently using IuB 1.02 as my only mod.

Reading one of the above posts, i'm wondering if having selected 'realistic' as the 'use crew' option when starting a career has something to do with the problem. I'm going to try starting a new career, set that to default and have my fatigue model selected as usual.

I'll see how it goes.....

EDIT - back out to sea and same problem. Zero fatigue. I checked the 'crew fatigue models.cfg' and all seems to be in order. My model is in exactly the same format as all those above it as far as I can tell and the model has been selected for use in SH3 commander.

There's no real reason why it shouldn't be working. It's exactly the same crew config file I was using with the previous version of SH3 commander and it worked fine then... :hmm:

Perhaps I can email you the file and see if you can make any sense of why it won't work.

OK. Email to the address in the Help file.

BTW, by R2.3 I mean SH3Cmdr Release 2.3. And no, selecting realistic crew will not have any affect on the fatigue model you use.

Unfortunatly not. I was in the middle of patrol 41 at the time of installation.

It's a career i started from the first day since buying SHIII and i intend to see it through until the end of the war

Much appreciate it if you have any idea what it could be.

I'd try one of three things:
1. Rollback SH3Cmdr, then reload the save patrol straight in SH3. Finish and see what you end up with this time.
2. Sacrifice the patrol and restart from scratch (note, just the patrol NOT the career).
3. Manually update your Patrols.cfg and Careers.cfg files based on your log_40.cfg and keep going.

Unfortunately, you've been exposed to an SH3 bug...generally, it only appears on the first patrol if you upgrade before starting. Curiously, did you upgrade before starting the patrol in question?

Einzelganger · 01-19-06, 04:43 AM

Thank you very much for me pointing in the right direction

I never did check the patrols.cfg....

I was looking for anything odd in the logs and career files and i never figured the problem might be in the patrols.cfg. I've checked the file out and all values for that patrol were listed as 0

So, now that i have adjusted those everything is OK again.

To answer your question, i did not get any upgrade before this patrol. So i don't understand how this could have happened but it's solved now !

Thanks again.

Don't forget to update Careers.cfg too. It's cumulative.

? Any changes made to terrain display - colors?

I am not really sure if it was the rollback, deletion of old then new install of Commander but now I am very pleased so far with the ocean/weather.

North Atlantic looks very close to what I recall from trips to Iceland - the sun/sky/clouds even the water color.

TY again

I must have done something wrong, I downloaded the latest version, I input the right date and type of sub (Single mission) launched SH3 then when the mission started I got a black sky/sun and a funny colour sea.
I rolled back and launched SH3 the normal way and everything was OK again, what have I done wrong or what have I missed?

Wolfram · 01-19-06, 02:20 PM

:hmm: might help out if we post some specs if we have contrasting video results with new Commander.

I am using ATi based x800xt PE running (2.6.87) Omega drivers.

Maybe color issue related to card?

Jscones,

thanks for your continuing work on the excellent SH3Commander!

now there's a little problem with the new Comander 2.4. If I choose realistic crew I have a *speechless* 1WO. That means I don't hear voice from him. this only happens with "realistic crew" setting. Problem seems to be in the crew configs of SH3Commander for the realistic setting:
In all files the CREW_MEMBER_0 has a value VoiceIdx=0

It shouldn't be zero. As Crew_Member_0 is always the 1WO there's no speech assigned to him.

Could you check into this please?

CCIP · 01-19-06, 06:47 PM

Finally I'm back at my SHIII machine, and ah - there it is.

It'll be a pleasure to start up a new career with it (even if it's part for testing mods)

I'd love to take credit for it, but nup, SH3Cmdr doesn't change the terrain.

It does now force the correct water type for 29 Flotilla campaigns, but that's about it.

At some point you haven't rolled back SH3Cmdr before installed a mod that contains "scene.dat".

You'll need to:
1. Rollback SH3Cmdr
2. Disable whatever mod you have installed that modifies scene.dat
3. Re-enable the same mod
4. Try again
