[Cmd436]

HasDelayedExecution=Yes
Key0=0x42,s,"B" ;(Shift+B)
Sound_0=ELO_Weapon,MC_CR_SO_01_A (sound for activate battle stations)
***********************************

Sound_0=ELO_Weapon,MC_CR_SO_03 *This line add for me, contains the correct sound to deactivate battle stations. But I don't know if is possible incorporate this line to [Cmd436].

I'd like this:

- first push of key (shift+b) for toggle_battle_stations (on)
with Sound_0=ELO_Weapon,MC_CR_SO_01_A

- second push of key (shift+b) for toggle_battle_stations (off)
with Sound_0=ELO_Weapon,MC_CR_SO_03

If possible do it? How?

**************************
yes i was after that long time ago, it is a known problem...

...there is only one command for battlestations which is toggleing it, there are no seperate commands for battlestations on or off.

but there are maybe 1 old and possible 1 new solution after what we have discovered so far:

1. dont use the key at all, use the weapons officer`s dialog menue.

2. connect the keystroke command with a script (as Rubini did for commanding the crew to go up or below the cunning tower), which can check if crew is on battlestions or not, then you can use the script to play the sounds accordingly. (maybe you just need to add a crew script, which have the exact name as the command).

example:
if Wp:Isbattlestations() then or something similar.

Hi! TheDarkWraith, Could you create one script for this?

And that's beyond my ability I'm afraid. I've managed to fix sh5.exe so the hydrophone is functional again - thank you for the instructions how to do it. But now I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about

TDW,

I've noticed that I'm unable to raise time compression above 32 times even when I have the NAV map open. Any suggestions as to what I should do to regain this indispensible function? If you want my MOD list, just let me know.

Thanks

It's something external to the mod then. You must have edited a cfg file that specifies all the time compression settings or a mod did.

TDW,

Would it be possible to give me directions to this .cfg file and advice as to whether I could open up your NewUIs_TDC_6.9.0 zip, find that same file unaltered, and transfer it into the appropriate folder to overwrite the altered one that is there now? Or will this not work?

Thanks

ask Sober. He knows which file I'm talking about and can probably help you out

Put your dvd in and look at the ini file .
Support/ini/EN/main
Handy to know its there
Paste them to your SH5 save game folder found in my documents .
TimeStop=0

AirEnemyDetected=1,8
SoundEffects=2

Thanks Sober,

Although I do not have the DVD version of SH 5, I have the download version from Amazon.com, and was thus unable to access the .ini file you mentioned. I was, however, able to find an identical .cfg file available in my current SH 5>My Documents>data>cfg>main>main.cfg under [TIME COMPRESSION]. Using the values given above I was able to restore it to it's default SH 5 values and I'm now off to test it.

Several months ago I changed these values to match those which are clickable in your signature but I can no longer recall why I was inspired to do that. (It's hell getting old).

I found an odd thing happening when adding entries to the boat's journal from within the game: I open the journal by pushing the journal button on the top right, then click on add entry, enter whatever babble I think is important and then click "Accept" to add it to the journal. So far, so good.

But what I found is that the added entry has a time stamp exactly one hour later than the time I added it. So if I added it at 16:45 boat time, it will appear in the journal as 17:45 [followed by my entry].

At first I thought it was a "GMT as opposed to local time" issue, so I switched to GMT in the game, but it was still the same.

Not exactly a "huge" issue, but I was wondering if there's a setting somewhere that I either messed up or forgot to enable?

All maritime log entries are always made in GMT time IIRC and that's how I coded this

[misha1967]

Makes sense, TDW, but it still adds an hour when I switch to GMT by clicking on the digital clock. Should I set the game to start in GMT by default through the options.py file, perhaps? (Also, I'm in the Baltic so it ought to subtract an hour to be in GMT).

Sounds like I coded it to record time in local time then. Maybe that's how maritime log entries are made. Actually I think that is how maritime logs are kept because at the start of every day in maritime logs they write how many hours +- GMT they are. Yeah I think this is the correct way and that's how it's coded

Love how the folder setup doesnt make any sort of sense !

[THE_MASK]

Ships journal . What happens if i forget to save and then exit then click on save changes to the journal . The changes will be saved to the journal but that play time doesnt exist because i never saved the game . I know it sounds lame but sometimes it might happen .

Also on the save changes to ships journal panel shown here .

Is there a way to enable the boxes to stay checked or unchecked ?
