[REL] rudewarrior's "Just Follow Orders!" Mod - NOW 2.0

[Sepp von Ch.]

Thank you rudewarrior for your reply! I am interested in german submarine warfare from my 12 years (I'm 31 years old), I buy and read every book about U-Bootwaffe and I'm excited about this created historically correct splendid mod.

Last question. When I activate only the messages with JGME and not the beautiful templates, everything in your great mod will work OK, except the templates, right?

this mod should bring the history buffs back into the game.

Thanks alot for this rudewarrior, I will give it a try, but its going to take ALOT of discipline to actually follow these orders!

Congrats on the Release.
Looking forward to try this baby.

Kudos to all involved!

Yes, that is the last part.

Good luck!

greeting rudewarrior

I have them sent to my Templates. Please check and say your opinion.

I have problems with the translation.

27 Jul 40: Ops in North Sea effectively end until the end of 1944. Any orders to patrol zones inside the North Sea area are to be ignored and/or reissued.

I found this entry does not and also not the sense.
But this entry.

17 Aug 40: The Fuehrer's orders, containing permission for unrestricted action against all vessels in the sea area around England, were passed to the boats.
17. August 40: Befehl des Führers, Erlaubnis für uneingeschränkte Waffeneinsatz gegen alle Schiffe im Seegebiet um England.

Says this is the same?

Thank you for your help.

The date files for SH3 Commander do not seem to be loading the correct order template files based on the current date of my patrol.

For example, I have started a patrol on 25 Aug 39, and the prize rules orders template loaded is for 1 Aug 39. This is correct. However, I have quit the game such that the current patrol date is 5 Sep 39. These means it should load the orders from the prize rules for 4 Sep 39. Is this the way SH3 Commander is actually supposed to work? I thought it could read the current date of the mission you were actually in, at least it says that in the manual. I've searched the forums and I can't find anything. Is it working properly for people using the mod? I thought I tested this before I released it. Is my mind playing tricks on me? What's going on here?

SH3 Commander doesn't read the current date of the mission in-game, it only loads the date files when you first run SH3. If you want it to update the correct files you'll need to quit SH3 and load again.

Ok, so I don't think that is the question I am asking, so let me state it explicitly.

Let's say I start a patrol on 1 Jun 40. It will load a file in the folder SH3 Commander/Date/19400601. I patrol until 5 Jun 40, then save and quit the game completely. Lets say I have a file in SH3 Commander/Date/19400604. I run SH3 Commander and start the game again. Which file is it supposed to load? 19400601 or 19400604?

SH3 Commander loads all files before 19400604, i.e. it will load all files in 19400601 then load all files in 19400604. Unless you overwrite previous files you may end up with legacy information that you don't want.

The only way around this is by ensuring that all the files are named exactly the same but placed in different date folders. If the information is no longer valid, you'll need to overwrite it with a completely blank file, e.g if I have created an image.jpg file that I no longer need, I can replace it with another file named image.jpg or I need a completely empty jpeg file called image.jpg.
