Anyone got mid mission radio orders working?

[Maky]

Question is the title.

I have ?WB? mid patrol mission orders. It's the only mod I've never got working. Does anyone have it working?
Wondering if I'm chasing a dead end.
Not being given new patrol grids mid mission is one of the few things this game gets on my tits.
I have the mod that gets installed via jonesoft in Commander. Is there a version that can be installed to the SH3 directory? maybe that would work better.
The mod is working to an extent. It's other features work. The reduced messaging and comments on the ticker etc. I'm not bothered about that though. I WANT ORDERS!

you wont get any.
go to grid, patrol, go home.
Those are the only orders SHIII can do.

all the rest is just for immersion.

so, effectively.... uninstall.
Or make up your own goals and orders.

It works fine for me...from the docs folder:

Content:
This mod consists of three parts:
1. Intro Messages adds randomised messages to the 'ticker-tape' that runs at the bottom of the main loading screen in SH3.
2. Load Messages changes the 'not so long ago...' message you see just before the game completes loading.
3. Patrol Orders gives a response to your Status Report from the messages screen and gives you orders to patrol to another grid. There are seven separate parts to the mod:
a. Africa - covers the African coast from Freetown to Gibraltar
b. America - covers the Amercian coast from the Caribbean to Grand Banks
c. Mediterranean
d. North Atlantic - from Norway to Gibraltar
e. Type II - North Sea
f. VII North - Norway to Ireland
g. VII South - Ireland to Gibraltar
You should only apply the mod applicable to your patrol areas, so if you are in a Type II you should apply the Type II mod, if you are patrolling in the Med you should apply the Mediterranean mod etc. The North Atlantic (North) and (South) mods are designed for VII users who do not have the range to make huge adjustments to their patrol grids.
NB:
1. The second patrol grid will only be sent to you if you have sunk at least one ship. It will not be sent if you reach your patrol grid and patrol for 24 hours without sinking anything.
2. There is no renown associated with the second patrol grid.
3. You will be sent grids applicable to the mod that you enable, so if you are patrolling off America and wish to be given a second patrol grid en route home you should apply the North Atlantic mod etc.
Installation:
This mod is JSGME ready but must be installed in SH3 Commander. If you try and apply it straight to SH3 it will not work. The mod must be installed as follows:
1. Enable 'WB's Mid-Patrol Radio Orders' in SH3 Commander
2. Press F5
3. Enable the relevant 'WB's Patrol Orders' mod

I got it working with a hard coded .exe patch but you can only do 1 update to the grid so I have decided not to use it after all.

Long as it is sorted I suppose.

Perhaps you should try this: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=199229
Also, with time and some effort, SH3CMDR can be used to issue any orders you want whenever you want them for whatever you want to do and can even randomize everything for you.
