[Pr0metheus 1962]

An updated version of SH3 Commander is now available. This is a minor core engine update - you must already have release 2 of SH3 Commander installed (available at http://www.beerymod.com/SH3Cmdr2.7z - the latest full download includes this patch).

Release notes:
- Now allows for the Silent Hunter III installation path to be forced via a /l switch, or manually entered if SH3 Commander cannot find it
- To accommodate future growth, career options are now contained in a pop-up menu, retitled "Actions"
- Now recognises and supports French text language setting in Silent Hunter III
- Added realistic crew transfers option; you may lose up to one crewman per patrol
- Added ability to force (corrected) ranks, medals and badges to display in Silent Hunter III in English (with American or British ranks) or German, regardless of in-game language setting
- Added ability to adjust deck gun reload times
- Added ability to adjust water density
- Now displays last patrol end date on existing career screen to allow for easier "specific days in base" calculations when wanting a specific next patrol start date
- Added new fatigue model based on RUb's 1x TC model
- Added new background image for generated HTML files
- Added new banner image

<span class="ev_code_RED">To download, use your SH3 Commander "Updates" feature. As this is a minor release, once you have downloaded the 418kb file just simply unzip over your current installation and then read "SH3Cmdr Help.html".</span> Whilst performing a "Rollback" prior to installing this update is not necessary, it is always recommended as good practice.

Notes:
-When you first load this version, please review the "SH3 Options" screen. There are new options available and failing to review prior to launching Silent Hunter III may result in unwanted (albeit temporary) gameplay experience.
-"Fatigue.cfg" is no longer used - Fatigue models are now stored in a file called "Crew fatigue models.cfg", located in the SH3 Commander "Cfg" folder. If you have added your own fatigue models to "Fatigue.cfg", you will need to copy and paste them to the new file.
-"U-boat numbers.cfg" has also been moved to the "Cfg" folder.

As always, pls post your questions/feedback/problems to this thread...

What does this mean?

SH3 Commander offers several different fatigue models. You may choose one of these, or use a custom file. If you choose to use a custom file, then you must follow the procedure outlined in order to use it.

What I do is for the first patrol use the "no fatigue" model, until I get back to port and set up my crew according to how I detailed in my other post and then afterwards I choose the normal fatigue model. You can try different fatigue models that are offered by modders, but after going through the process Beeryus details.

In earlier versions of the SH3 Commander mod a file called 'Fatigue.cfg' was used to store fatigue models. Now that file is no longer used and a new file called 'Crew fatigue models.cfg' is used instead. If you ever saved a 3rd party fatigue model to SH3 Commander's Fatigue.cfg file you will want to move it to the new file if you want it to be used in the game. Most players won't need to worry about this, as SH3 Commander already gives three fatigue models from which to choose, and these models suit most tastes. This instruction is for people who have modded their own fatigue model and added it to SH3 Commander, or who have inserted another unsupported fatigue model into SH3 Commander.

Thanks Beeryus.

Thanks Beeryus!

Hey Beeryus,

It may sound like a very stupid question, but if I download your SH3 Commander-file, it has extension .7z.

How or with which program can you unpack it?

Thanks in advance!
Great job...

At my website (http://www.beerymod.com) you can find a link to the 7zip program download. 7zip is a freeware compression utility that gets much better compression than zip or rar. When compressing large files it's essential.
