[Borgneface]

Hello;

I have downloaded your SH3 DC and will try it as soon as my game is reinstalled .....It looks fantastic ...I have used dynamic campaign a lot when flying IL2 1946 and it did bring a lot to the campaign!
Thank you for your mod and will post feedback when possible
A merry christmas to all

What are your thoughts mate, btw I'm not asking you to make it compatible ( tho that would be nice ), just wonder if as your mod is a campaign randomiser, if I read it right, it will clash in the normal sense.

Best regards.

As I've stated before, SH3DC is compatible with all mods. The only issue I see would be the real navigaiton mod being that you may not know the exact position of the sinking, but it is still compatible with it. SH3DC doesn't need to know the exact position of the sinking, it just needs to know an estimated guess of where the ship was sunk, and the program will do the rest.

SH3DC is not a campaign randomizer. SH3DC removes the ships you've sunken from the campaign so they don't keep reappearing after you've sunk them.

Hi, this may sound like a dumb question and I think u already answered it indirectly,but just to get a direct and clear answer, I'll ask it anyways. Does SH3DC still include a realistic WW2 campaign with famous invasions (like operation wesurunbung and overloard) and well known battles (like the sinking of the Bismarck)?

SH3DC uses the campaign files you already have. So it will depend on the mods you have installed if you have historical or realistic WW2 campaigns and invasions in your game. I suggest using GWX or WAC.

hey, whenever I install SH3DC and open the dynamic campaign shortcut, there's just a blank page when I click on play with sh3 dynamic campaign. What did I do wrong?

I know what the problem is. Thanks for pointing this bug out. I will fix it as soon as I am able. Until then, just start SH3 normally, and create a career. After that exit SH3. You don't need to go out on a patrol. Then start SH3DC and it should detect that career and work as planned. Thanks for pointing this out!

[avers]

Well I did what u said and I'm still having the bug. I guess I'll have to wait until its fixed.

When you installed the mod, did you put in the correct file path for your SH3 file which is located in your Documents folder.

Go inside your Dynamic Campaign folder and look in the VARIABLES folder. Within this folder you will see the sh3saves.txt file. Open this up and make sure it is the correct path ending in "SH3".

This is an example of what it should look like in Windows 7 with a computer of user John:

C:\Users\John\Documents\SH3

[avers]

Yes, I put in the correct path. It's still not seeing my career.

Hi, I should also mention that my antivirus software does say it detects threats with SH3DC while its installing. I do turn off the software while it install and I open SH3DC while its off, but it still doesn't detect my career. Like I said before the save path is correct.

I'm working on a hotfix. I had finals this week and work is taking my time up. I still don't know why your install isn't working. Do you have partrol folders in your career folder in the SH3 save folder? They should be labeled from 0 and up. 0 being the first patrol. In other words, you have at least one patrol saved under your career?

What anti-virus program do you have. I have ESET and I don't get any warnings. It may be detecting the .exe files as possible viruses, which are the batch scripts for the program. But it's a false positive. This is the first GUI program I've written so it's not 100% professional.

SH3DC only effects your Campaign files, Roster EnglishNames.cfg etc... files, reads from SH3 save directory and has knowledge of SH3 Commander install location in order to launch that program. These are the only folders that SH3DC is in contact with.

Does SH3DC version 1.1 work for you?

If I don't know what is causing the problem I wont be able to fix the problem in the program. I have a few questions in my previous post.

I just wanted everyone to know that I am working on a new release. I am fixing some bugs that I think may be causing some people problems, but I'm a busy guy. I have two jobs and I am a full-time Computer Science student. But I will have a new release up sometime soon. Thanks.

Looks like another great SH3 contribution.
