Schiff Gesichted spam

[Fenris_Wolf]

Any idea on how to avoid this? This is becoming a problem. Typical occurence: I'm stalking a convoy while on surface and the bastards keep spamming me with "ship sighted" or "schiff gesichted" (sp?) in german, rendering me unable to use time compression.

Thanks :hmm:

in SH3 commander i believe there is an option for changing the maximum time compression for various events.

Ship spotted defaults to 1x compression

using SH3 compression you could modify the max time compression from 1x to perhaps 8x or something.

also are you using the 16km atmosphere mod?

Yep I'm using the 16km atmosphere mod, but not SH3 commander.

perhaps it woul be worth a try... you wont be able to go over whatever time compression limit you set in SH3 commander... and you wont stop the men from saying ship spotted every second, but you will at least be able to compress time to whatever calue you input.

the only danger is - if your sailing on the surface at 1024 and they spot a warship, time compression is only going to slow down to whatever you have put in as the maximum... so for example it will go from 1024x to 8x

perhaps if your reaction time at getting down to 1x compression is good enough you can keep from getting attacked or spotted by the warship before you really know what heppened.

You can alter the value in Main.cfg in your SH3 folder in MyDocuments

The reason you get that is you are on the edge of visual range and the ship keeps going in and out of view so crew keep shouting like its a new unit
PITA

Thanks. I'll modify that file. :up:
