[TEC] clipboard

[AVGWarhawk]

Can anyone direct me to the clipboard files that contain the messages that are sent to the sub? Looking to change some of these messages!

[leovampire]

radio type or others?

[AVGWarhawk]

What I'm looking for Leo is the file that has the clipboard messages. Like, "Borneo is under attack, any boats in the area that can assist...."

[leovampire]

is what you are looking for. That s how I added all the messages for the new Jap Airbases that come into play in the game.

It can only be added to a game while in base though will not work in a save game of any other type.

Heres my thing, Taters new campaign mod starts you before Dec 7. On Dec 7 a message is received and I open the clipboard to read it and all it has is -message content. I want to fill that in.

[leovampire]

Data / campain / campaigns file and look for the messages note pad.

Find the message Tater made and add what you want it to say and then save it.

But it can only be added to the game on inbase saves or you will get a CTD

I saw the same thing and I wondered if I had screwed something up when I restarted my career.:oops: Glad to hear it wasn't my fault :D

[AVGWarhawk]

I see messages in there I have never seen before

Message content

[AVGWarhawk]

Can I change some of these that are already there?

[leovampire]

just have to make sure they do not extend into another message

and by adding stops in between parts of the message "X" it makes it show up better on the message you get to read in game

I'm going to lose some of the silly things in there and add some real information pertaining to message.

[AVGWarhawk]

Under the date column, is this the date the tranmission will go out? I see the date of the 7th, enemy attack on pearl, this is not a drill. I never see this. Can I change the date to the 8th?

[leovampire]

seems to make them function a lot better.

So if you change a date start time make sure it is in order in the file to make sure it is sent properly.

Like if I change a date on a message I to a time after another one would happen then I cut the message and paste it in a spot after the other one so the date and times run in order of appearance in the file.

[AVGWarhawk]

I have changed a lot of the silly corny stuff. Found some misspelled words.

I was able to enter this for operational orders. As you can see I can not get the previous message to show. I believe I will delete this entry and add a new on at the end of the text message page. This is how I got the unrestricted message to show.

[leovampire]

maybe the length of time you have the message set up for is the problem?

[AVGWarhawk]

I was able to get my message to show in order. I did get another just showing "message content" inbetween. It seems it is always the first line of the entire texted page. I reduced the probability of receiving the first message on the entire texted page and also set it to low priority. Lets see how it goes.

Ok I have gotten the message to appear. These messages are my own wording.

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/avgwarhawk/SH4Img23-9-2007_2234.3_484.jpg

On the 8th I created a message for unrestricted submarine warefare. For some reason I still get the message showing 'message content'. I do not know why. It seems to only happen with the first line in the entire texted page in the file.

Leo, what does your texted page found in campaigns look like? Can you post a screenshot here?


I'm using Taters campaign mod and being that you start the patrol before the 7th, where is the texted messaging you see typed out for you when you click on the map to start your patrol? I want to change the wording as it says to engage enemy shipping but we are not at war yet!

[leovampire]

if I understand what your talking about needing to change not radio related stuff your working on now.

Data / Campaign / campaigns /Patrol objectives

There is a TSR file for the mission with an objective's message in there.

you need to find the mission you are working with and change the corisponding mission TSR message.

[AVGWarhawk]

The file extension is .TSR? Yes, I want to change this message.

[leovampire]

again just remember anything in those files added to the game means an inport install and will not work in past saves. But seeing you are working with first missions it shouldn't be a problem.

Just that very first one out of Pearl and out of Manila. Taters mod starts you a few days before the 7th yet the mission says to go sink ships...not at war yet! So I will attempt to change it to say something like routine patrol area whatever. Then once you are out of port and the 7th hits, a message will appear to say go sink vessels in the assigned area already ordered to patrol.

Interesting stuff...

I actually didn't touch it at all, if it was changed in TM, duc did it.

I have been able to solve what was changed for now. I have a discovered how to make operational messages a priority and transmit until received. Regular news will be low priority so players will not be messaged to death and dropping to 1x TC all the time. The regular news will by a roll of the dice type deal that the submarine receives the message. Of course the priority messages will have not dice at all, the sub will get it.

[Hawk_345]

Its starting to get a little confusing with 2 threads on the same basic topic, could you cut down to one, the WIP one, isntead of WIP and TEC? its easyer to read whats going on.

[AVGWarhawk]

I asked TDK to close this up and we will use the WIP thread.

[Hawk_345]

yeah, i figured thats what you would have said, just wanted t make sure.
