*********Invalid option entry found. Missing VALUES's COUNT entries/r/nLine read was #DEFAULT=[ "Heir ist ein U-Boat Cocktail!!"," Chalkboard Tally","edit your favorite" ] @ line #3262 *********

It wont let me open my user options file to make any changes, has anybody had this problem before?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Icon14 Fixed!

I managed to fix it by disabling all mods and then enabling them again, after that I was able to open OFEV no problem.
Thanks again for the help!

Default Prop shaft selectors

Hey all,

I asked something similar awhile back, but never got a response. What is the purpose of enabling or disabling the port or starboard prop shafts?
In one of the loading screens in mentions running the diesel and electric engines at the same time, with one diesel dedicated to recharging and the other running the prop in tandem with electric motor. Is there a way to implement this in game?

I play TWOS years and i never used this
In my oppinion the theory from loading screen is physical nonsense.

The enigma mod is fantastic, but unfortunately for me the letters in the radio messages was too hard to see, I really had issues with O or Q. Type one wrong letter and you have to start all over again. So I decided to remove the mod, not sure if there is a way to deal with my problem. Glasses perhaps

You're right, this can be a problem for some. I'll see if I could find appropriate files to edit font style a bit, if possible at all...

Hi guys
If you use a magnifying glass on the radio message you will see that the O has a little bit missing from being a complete circle.
The Q has tiny bit added to the complete circle.
With a bit of time you will get use to the look of both and will not need any type of aid to recognize the difference.

Thanks guys, I'll give it another try

Btw, I came up with an idea that also solved the problem. Took a pic of the message with my smartphone, then just enlarged it.

I think I have found the solution how to change radio message font so you guys don't need to use magnifying glass anymore. I'll add the fix in the next update...

Great news Vecko, that will help a lot of players that do not have good eye sight.

Just wait minute or two mate...Remove old updates from your jsgme...and no, you don't have to do full reinstallation of course if you've installed/updated your Twos per instructions.

Hi Vecko
The black screen start up is always a bit unnerving especially for those who have a lower spec computer because of the loading time to the menu.
It really needs some sound here to show that all is well and the game is loading and not frozen.

I'm afraid that's not possible...only stuck and repetitive sound can be heard and that's even more unnerving and suspicious.
People should realize that nations roster is largely increased and the game needs some time to allocate all the files.
I'll see if i could add visual info instead of black screen, that would be quite useful and it could neutralize potential confusion...
