GWX- Marks for Ships Sunk

Tikigod · 01-04-07, 03:09 PM

How do I re-enable the plotting of ships that are sunk? Things like this should be a JSGME option included with GWX. I kinda miss keeping track of seeing where the ships I attack sink. Or is there historical records showing that uboat captains didn't do this back in ww2? :p

You talking about the displayed symbol on the Nav Map after the "she's going down" message appears?

If so, they are still there. (well most of them anyways)

I would like to be able to have this in GWX also. Its the only thing from vanilla that I miss!

That is my experience as well.

I play at 100% realism (GWX) with no map updates, but wondering is there any mod which enables only sunken ships updates on Nav Map?
Thanks for reply and sorry for my poor english.

Yeah, the ship icon that looks like a broken ship that appears on the nav map. I didn't think "nomap updates" option removes that. I thought it just keeps the contacts from moving in real time on your map. In GWX I think they removed all map contacts. Even the broken ships. I'm just wondering if I can get the broken ships back.

Currently when I sink a ship using "no map updates" I don't see the broken ship icon after I sink a ship.

TG, try turning on the map updates and see if you have them then. I have the sunken ships icon in GWX but my updates are on.

For the sake of realism, I'd think having updates on would be ok. Didn't they keep track of what they sank and where, plus where ships/convoys were when they received radio reports?

Yes, but it's any possibility to have only those symbols when updates option it's off?

Yes, they tracked, but they was doing this mannualy. When you don't have turn on your nav map updates you must manually determine speed, distance and course of enemy ship. I think this is more real then just a spy sat view whitch you have when you map updates are on.
Sorry for my poor english.

I wasn't aware there was an option to disable the 'dunken ship' icon :hmm:

Tikigod · 01-05-07, 01:07 PM

There isn't an option in game...but, usually someone makes a "mod" that you enable or disable with JSGME that patches the game files.

TK, in the 80+ moods I have in my Vanilla SHIII, there are none that delete the sunken ship icons.

Nor do any of the original mods with GWX delete them, as far as I can see.

Tikigod · 01-05-07, 03:45 PM

Ok, do you have map updates turned on or off? Its nice you have 80+ mods installed with vanilla but, it still doesn't help me understand why GWX removes them with map updates turned off. There are several people here that say it happens to them with the GWX install when map updates are turned off.

The original Vanilla install when map updates were turned off only stopped the ships contact marks from moving in real time on your navmap. It did not disable the ship kill icons. It appears in GWX it removes the ship kill marks when map updates are turned off.

Of the people who are experiencing this, how many have 3rd party mods installed:hmm:

Tikigod · 01-05-07, 04:38 PM

Are you saying you aren't experiencing this with your GWX install? I'd like to know how many people are using "no map updates" using GWX that do see Ship Kill Icons.

Just because someone installs a texture or sound file on top of GWX doesn't mean it will corrupt the install. 3rd party mods could be anything and asking a general question like that doesn't narrow down the problem here.
