To do mis file checks, you need to place an SH3.exe file in the SH4 folder. Do NOT attempt to run the SH4 game like that though - it will crash when it apparently attempts to load the SH3 file... - no need to ask me how I know this. Just use your imagination...

When you go to use the Mis2Csv function, you will need to add a "Title=" line to the mis file. Just use an SH3 campaign mis file as your example for what is missing in the "header" of an SH4 file, to make it look like an SH3 file. Your results will be similarly cryptic what you find with other aspects of mySH3-Tool, but you will get used to that... lol - Since Hebe uses a CSV file, you can open them in a spreadsheet app, and sort to your heart's content and find out all sorts of little tidbits of info...

One other thing about mySH3-Tool, is that it is a lot like TDW's SH Validator, in that it has one "path" structure, and that is "Campaigns / Campaign", so if you go to check the German side of the SH4 game, you will need to re-structure the files and paths to fit the SH3 or SH4 v1.4 folder structure. ie: like when using TDW's tool for the German side, rename the current "Campaign" folder to something like "CampaignUS", which will then allow you to change the "CampaignGE" folder to "Campaign" so that it will be "Searched". In addition though, you'll need to copy and paste the "CampaignData files directly into the "Campaign" folder, so that the structure is like the US Pacific side of the game... Once you are finished with checks and edits, put things back the way you found them... Piece of cake!

Of primary importance though, prior to starting the Campaign check, you do need to match the sim and cfg file "MaxSpeed" entries, which is a function that can be done prior to doing and folder alterations. Cool stuff Hebe did. s7rikeback is the one who asked Hebe a question, which led to Hebe doing v1.9, and he just keeps improving the functionality.
