[REL] Fewer radio messages

UPDATE: NOW JSGME-compatible!

In stock SH4 you get radioed "opportunity contacts" with a distance of up to 1500 km, and "important contacts" with a distance of up to 3500 km from your own position.

Not only do these clutter up your message log but most of them are of no real interest for you, since an enemy task force 3000km from you is hardly an attractive target for a sub sailing at 15-20sm.

Also, I think this makes it far too easy to find targets, much as in (unmodded) SH3.

So, I reduced the range of opportunity contacts to 400km (215 sm) and the range of important contacts to 925km (500sm).

This will provide you with much less overall radio contacts, and those you still recieve will be nearer to your boat's actual position.

Installation:

Rename the file contacts.cfg in the folder ...\SH4\Data\cfg to contacts.cfg_ORIGINAL or something like that.

Put the downloaded contacts.cfg file into your ...\SH4\Data\cfg folder.
