NewUIs question for TDW

[misha1967]

I may have done this to myself, so that's why I'm asking you.

All of a sudden, I no longer get the "ship sunk" markers on the map, nor do I get the message from the WEPS in the message log when a ship sinks. I still get the tonnage in the "stock" captain's log, though, so it's not as if they don't count.

The only thing I know that I changed between it working fine and it not working was that I switched the "tool tips" on in the options .py file. You know, the ones that enables showing ship class etc. in the UZO, scope and such and the little message box above the log in the lower right if you hover over an item.

Is that what's causing it? If it is, then it's no big deal to shut them off again.

That's not causing it. Try putting the as shipped menu.txt file in and see what happens

I don't know, TDW, I think I did it to myself by playing around with .py and IRAI to keep Scapa from crashing (the latter worked, by the way.) I know that playing around with the mods while on patrol may sometimes lead to odd results.

So I muddled around and created a new journal file and loaded a save from right before I noticed the ship sunk marker not appearing (I had a fat Tommy closing in on me in that save, I always save when I see a new target) and went ahead and sent her to the bottom and the marker and log message came back again.

Of course, since I created a new log file the first four sinkings in the Baltic (and the Royal Oak, but I don't care about that one since I got the tonnage, mission completed and renown for it) aren't on my map anymore, but that's really not important. I didn't lose anything other than a few markers on the map. Everything else is A OK. I'll just chalk it up as another lesson in "don't mess with your files while you're on patrol" :)

All is good. I have my messages back and my markers. The first are the most important as they tell me not to bother pounding a target as it's already sinking. That was the only thing I cared about.

In other news, I won the sweepstakes in some silly computer part lottery and will be getting a new rig. I always thought they were a waste of time since you have 60,000,000 people entering and only a dozen winning anything, but for once I won something. Not the first prize, I "only" got a water-cooled Intel 2550K box, but I can't wait to see how it will run SH5 when it gets here :yeah:

Hi TDW, hi misha...

Misha - congrats :yeah:
@TDW, same situation at my side. No markers. I didn`r touch the .py file. So, sometimes, I can see the marker, but in general - not - as wrote Kaleun misha.
A bit confused because after tutorial mission (I sunk 3 units) on my map still sitting 7 markers :o

Best ragards,
Kurtz :salute:

Place the mod's English version of the menu.txt file in \data\Menu and see what happens (just for testing)

Sorry TDW - I don`t understand - to short for me :oops:
"Place the mod's English version of the menu.txt file in \data\Menu"
In other words: where from and where to... What do you mean: mod`s English?

I sank four ships, all are marked on the map just fine, until I saved & exit to windows. The next time I loaded my save a bunch of markers showed up as sunk ships. Now I only sank four ships not half dozen or so. I think these markers are showing where my navigation marks were.
