Alarm!!!!

Best way to have the game get my attention, pause, or make a noise and drop tc when enemy is contacted?

I'm trying to be able to play without having to stay glued to the screen reactivating TC when its over a non important issue.

using Mega mod, and a few sound mods.

It is working for me - tc drop at 1 all the time and remain there when spoted a contact

not tryied yet the sobers settings for pause the game

Yeah thats how I play now, but that pretty much requires me to keep activating TC whenever there is a radio message, or a weather announcement, or battery charge, etc, etc these are non important issues i'd rather just be in my bunk not bothering with.

I tried to use Sobers pause method but it pauses you on enemy contact 8000, and keeps your paused, forcing the highest level of TC to be zero.

I don't know what TC you cruise with but I suppose you could edit the main config for normal and travel modes. Ie; AirEnemyDetected=1 and EnemyDetected=1. Then set radio reports to whatever TC you desire, such as RadioReport=1024.

That kind of what you looking for?

EDIT: wow quick answer there.....lol

Then make only the changes sugested here in the main.cfg file:

Disable the travel mode when you play (after you passed the ports area)

disable de tc1 in new radio messages received

disable the tc1 in any message box

then tc1 will comme only in interesting situations: close to the land, enemy spoted etc:up:

Yeah thats how I changed it over for now. I wish there was a way to get it to intitially pause upon contact though, and then allow me free TC after that.

AS I have it set up now it will hit 1 tc on 8000 enemy contact. Which is ok, but I wanted the pause for me not perhaps being present to immediatly act. etc.

Plus I wish I could freely engage tc after the intial drop to 1 so that after I identify targets, or for whatever reasons I am waiting for the contacts to leave the area, or what have you I could tc until they are out of sight surface and continue on my way. but for now this will have to make do.

You can do this: after spoted the contac and tc drop at 1 then enable again travel mode and you are free to play again with the tc (if you find max tc32 in travel mode to small than you can adjust to suit your taste):up:



Read what i posted in green for you:up:

[Drewcifer]

ah, of course re-enable travel mode.. duh.

Thank you!

Try, but i do not think so:O: why you want so much to pause the game - it is good only if you leave the game to play alone for maybe few hours - if tc drop at 1 you have plenty of time to react

I'm a little upset, I made these changes and i'm still getting dropped into 8 tc at random times, so far only air contacts has dropped me to 1 tc. Also I had hope the maximum set at 256, 32 would make the max tc 256, obviously not if I hit shift plus it still jumps right up to I 8000 or 9000 whatever it is.. way higher then I ever wanted to see I know that much.
