Ok, my fellow Kaleuns:
This is the final outcome of this:
After tracing an interception course, I found the convoy and after taking a look with the obs peri, I noticed that some ships were burning and sailing really slow (2-3 knots).
Bagged 3 destroyers (the fourth sank without my assistance) and of course taking care of the rest of the ships was a matter of singing and sewing.
When all the smoke cleared up, this is what I found....
There were 3 subs constantly attacking the convoy (that explains the ships burning), but once they saw me, the decided to follow the convoy's route and they didn't even say goodbye.... :nope:

Talk about a cone of death there :arrgh!:

CapZap1970,

Which mods do you use? I'm asking this because it seens you can edit the labels of the marker tool in the nav map... in my game it shows only "marker1", "marker2" etc...

Thanks

Raubvogel

Hi Raubvogel...
Wish I could help you right now... the thing is I am still at my office and will go home in a couple of hours. If you are there I will help you gladly then.

Hi CapZap1970, I would like a copy of the Navmap background, could you point me to a download site or could you upload for me?:yep:
Thanks.

If you can wait 3 or 4 hours, i will upload it to FF when i get home. Right now I am at the office. :up:

Hi CapZap,

As I said before ... in your screenshot it looks like you can edit the labels under the mark tool like this:

and this:

While in my game it only shows like this:

I'd like to know which mod allows you to edit this.

Many thanks mate,

Hi Raubvogel:
Sorry I didn't help you before with this...
Ok, this is the situation: The markings you see with labels such as "?Merchant?" and others are not placed on the map by me. I use SH3 Gen for every mission. If you place a mark manually, you can't edit the text. It would be a good idea perhaps to use SH3 Gen. It's a very nice little program that gives you a lot of valuable info for your patrol, such as possible whereabouts of merchants, convoys, subnets, minefields, and others, friendly and enemy. http://www.global-explorer.de/
Note that I don't use the 0.8 version, I use the 0.7, since i didn't have time to see how the last version works.
This is how you use it:
1.- Start SH3, start your patrol from your base and once you are at least 50Km away from your port and no contacts, save and exit to menu.
2.- Without leaveing the menu, press CTRL+TAB to exit to Windows.
3.- Double click on SH3 Gen icon (Of course, you have installed it before)
4.- Set your preferences and choose the last save file. It is stored in your C drive, usually C:\SH3\Career\your capitain's name\Patrol. If i am mistaken about the path, it's something very similar to the example I just gave you. Find your last save, Load it in SH3 Gen, click on generate, exit SH3 Gen and go back to SH3.
I hope this helps Kaleun, and let me know if you need anything else or if my instructions ar enot clear enough. :up: ;)
