Help with a little (maybe) bug!

[Rhodes]

Returned to SH3 and installed the patches of H.Sie and Stiebles add on. Did everything by the book and launch the game. There was no CTD and everything appear fine.
But in the office menu, when viewing the boat, in several selections I got the phrase "excellent visibility" , as the image show. Next to snorkel and were I notice.
And then I can install the snorkel because it says that i do not have enough renown (and the cost of the snorkel also changed form 0 to 450 to 3000, when changing views/selections).

Could this be because of some error when adding the info to the command_en and en_messages files?

Bump!:03:

[LGN1]

Hi,

the wrong text is a stock issue. See here:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//showthread.php?t=181399

The different renown sounds strange... :hmmm:

Regards, LGN1

[Rhodes]

Thanks LGN1. I did not play for almost 3 months. Yesterday a reload a patrol, finish it and when trying to get the snorkel, I had the same prob. Have 4500 of renown. The snorkel cost 1000 (damn final war economy) and got the message of not having enough for it. :hmmm:

[irish1958]

NYGM mod has the best method of equipping a boat. When an update becomes available, it can be installed in port at a cost of down time (I am not sure but I think 3 months). Renown is not a factor.
What I have done is modify the file to remove the cost of renown for all upgrades and crew, but left the start dates intact. I then use renown to tract my success in the war.
Since the load out of ammo is controlled by the same file, I also changed this to suit me.
I made it JSGME ready so I can deactivate it if in wish.

[Rhodes]

NYGM does effect the renown system, infact it revamps it. That may be the issue. As far as the text is concerned go to your en_menu.txt file in your data/Menu folder. Do a find for "Snorkel" and see if there is a "excellent visibility," label nearby that is out of place.

No, every snorkel I find has no "strange text" attach.

[Rhodes]

?
In your en_menu.txt did you do a search for "excellent visibility," ?

Did now, it is in the 4100! "4100=excellent visibility"

[Rhodes]

Mine is this:

4100=excellent visibility,
4101=moderate visibility,
4102=poor visibility,
4103=zero visibility,

do to the hsie and Stiebler3_Addon since they add new messages, etc. Possible a conflict with the information that is add to the game etc. Or I did the enabling of the mods wrong.

[Rhodes]

Yes, but we need to add information to the text menus. Example from the file _Append_to_en_menu from Hsie.

;------------------------------------
; Messages for h.sie sh3.exe patch
; -----------------------------------
; Simply append the following lines
; to your en_menu.txt.
;------------------------------------

4814=Fog disappears.
4818=Fog sighted.

4815=Oxygen: %02.0f Percent.
4816=Oxygen back to normal: 21 Percent.
4817=Oxygen too low. Using oxygen supply.

I can send you the files if you want it. But all the add information in the menu.txt files of both does not have any of the 4100 block.

[Rhodes]

Right. Those append to the empty places of the en_menu file. That isn't your issue then. It must be a mod in your GIGANTIC mod list.

Start disabling them one at a tme and find the culprit. Self explanatory...

Yep, here we go again! Thank you for help!:up:

Edit: Well, went almost to the MaGUI mod and every time I reload the game I ahd the same problem.
My line of thought is: The problem happen after I enable the new (current) version of Hsie and Stiebler mod (V6B1), with the previous - v6A1 tere was no problem. So I thought that was from that, but after disabling the mods, I still got the same problem.
But when I did the update from V6A1 to B1 I already had a campaign running. So it may be some corruption of the save. I am going to create a new campaign to see if have the same problem or not!

2nd edit: well, 50/50! I start a new campaign, Set 1944. When to the snorkel menu and no "excellent visibility", but the boat already had it so I went to other menu that have the same problem, the sonar one. So there the "excellent visibility" was there. And I decided to see If I could buy the upgrade since with the snorkel, I couldn't.
I was able to buy and then after that, the phrase "excellent visibility" disappeared.
