How to get Hull integrity displayed?

[VipertheSniper]

Just one question, see thread title... please help me, today I sank for apparently no reason, but I guess it was probably a too low hull integrity. I've seen it in several screenshots displayed and it would help me a great deal.

If it's a stock game then it should automatically unless you have something enable on the realism options I think.

Also if you're using SHIII Commander there's an option to turn the hull integrity rating on/off.

which mod you have installed?

You have to edit the Menu_en.txt or Menu_de.txt and remove the semicolon on the hullintegrity value (if the mod did not remove the string text value)

I've RUB installed and No fatigue, apart from that it's the stock game, for the realism settings I would've to look it up, realistic damaged is checked tho...

I couldn't find the entry you're talking about, in de_menu.txt (I guess that's the one you meant, I couldn't find a file named Menu_de.txt)

Or I'll just install Sh3 commander...

Or I'll just install Sh3 commander...

menu_de (or de_menu sorry don't know by hart), is located on data/menu/

I can't remember the entry number, but I think it have been 'commented' by a semicolon.

just look with a search tool with your notepad (Ctrl+F) for ;
and if you find something related to hull integrity, just remove the ;.

If the string value has been removed, I can only suggest to find your original menu_en.txt and search (ctrl+f) keyword 'integrity'. you should be able to get the line and put it back on the moded menu_en.txt.


Well of course there's always SH3 commander to do it the lazy way ;)

In de_menu.txt or en_menu.txt look for 589= and replace it with 589=HULL INTEGRITY %s %.

Thank you guys, already found it by myself, the entry was empty, that's why I couldn't find it, I then installed SH3 Commander, searched for the entry again, rolled back and put the text in the empty spot.

Thanks again for your help.

Oh btw... I had a hull integrity of 46%, damn single destroyers, didn't even do severe damage to any system beyond repair... but it was my fault... watching TV and having the time compression on while a random encounter with a destroyer is no good.
