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?

Pls try these in place of the current ones and advise... http://members.iinet.net.au/~jscones...crew_config.7z

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.

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.

:hmm: must have been the rollback then - some of the best I have seen in a long while - but I do change out drivers each time Omega offers a new one.

BTW just installed the latest incarnation of Omega 3.8.205; it seems to improve my image quality even more on SH3.

Fair warning however unless you have experience with beta drivers they can be tricky to use/install....so not for everyone....

In any case JScones thanks seems to be working just fine for me.

I have a small problem with the new v2.4 that I hope someone can help me with.

I did as instructed by (returning from patrol) rolling back v2.3, uninstalling it, then installing v2.4 and everything works great except for one item. The problem is that v2.4 has assigned a new photo of "me".

Is there anyway that I can get v2.4 to use the same old photo of "me" that v2.3 assigned me ???

Yes, thanks! This solved the problem. Speech is ok with realistic crew now.

Double-click on the photo. This will bring up a menu that lets you look through all of them and select the one you want.

Thanks, I'll give it a try tonight when I get home.

I think the problem is more fundamental - installing a new version of SH3Cmdr will not alter the image used UNLESS...

a) the user deleted SH3Cmdr.ini when uninstalling the previous version. This file can only be removed manually, and will most likely only be removed if the user doesn't read the "!!PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING!!" installation instructions (ie point 2). This file stores all your Commander history info and if it is deleted, so are your Commander histories.

b) the user replaced a stock image (one of the 00 to 77 titled ones) with one of their own. Of course, upon uninstallation the image will be removed and upon reinstallation the original default image will be used. If the unique image was backed up first (again, point 2 of the installation instructions), the fix is simply just to recopy it back into the SH3Cmdr Images folder.

OK everyone, if you've downloaded SH3Cmdr24.exe or SH3Cmdr24.7z prior to now and you use the Realistic crew configuration when starting new careers, pls download updated crew configurations here and unzip into your SH3 Commander installation folder.

The new configurations correct some missing crew voices.

They have been added to the full d/l files.

I finally installed SH3cmdr (I know, I catch up slow). And I think I like it, gonna give it a try for a couple of patrols.

But I am wondering about 3 things:

- What happens when I start SHIII the normal way (so not via the SH3Cmdr) ?
- Can I only go to the night club via SH3Cmdr or is it also somewhere within SHIII ?
- When closing theSH3Cmdr it says "game files will not be updated ........." ? why?

Enfilade · 01-21-06, 04:48 PM

One thing that I'm confused about... after uninstalling the previous version of Commander (which leaves the .ini file and personnel records behind to maintain an existing career), do I simply run the Commander 2.4 exe and install directly over the top of the remnant Commander 2.3 folder?

Yep.

- Depends. Ordinarily nothing, but if you have SH3Cmdr files already copied into the game from a previous session, you may find that they are out of date. For example, your news file may give info for April when it is in fact now June (remembering the news file is always a month behind for obvious reasons). But the game will still run with absolutely no problems.
- SH3Cmdr only.
- To remind people that closing SH3Cmdr will not update SH3 files. SH3 files are only ever updated when "Launch SH3!" is pressed.
