Thanks MM,

I will try to make some tests again in PD only with the River class as you described.
Will post my results later.;)

The 'Destroyer in attack run' message is actually broken in stock SH3 v1.4b. About 12 months ago I remember looking at Avon Ladys mod site and I downloaded the 'German Crew Cheer Mod'. I then got the german cheer from a torpedo impact and it also enabled in the 'destroyer in attack run' message as a bonus.

When a certain in-game scenario is met, the message and speech (from sonar man) will be used. So don't expect the message to appear every time a destroyer is charging at you.

The file is PUMP.DAT found in the Data\Library folder.

I've used both. I use German sound with English text. I haven't heard it for a while but I do remember hearing that no-one really knows how to ge the triggers right. Apparently when it does trigger it is usually when the DD is right on top of you rather than when the screws start up. I've been lucky recently and not been under heavy DD attack. (Obvisouly I'm not being aggressive enough:rotfl:)

Thanks for the reply mate!

I just start up a fresh GWX 1.03 and - in my test mission, until now - no way to the sonarman say "Destroyer in attack run!". I guess that you are right: it´s broken or perhaps only in very special conditions this message will appears. I tried everything for some hours using a single mission with all type of DD and DE and no dice: PD, locking them in the periscope, stright ahead, changing deep, changing direction...nothing worked. So, isn´t with my instalation (i used a fresh GWX 1.03 as I said).:hmm:

Now about that PUMP.dat file..I used it before GWX...what you think is that with it this crap message will revive? Let´s crossing fingers! I will try again my test mission with it. Just some minutes (or hours - LOL)
Thanks again!

@TarJak,
Thanks for the reply too! If you notice that message again let me know in what condition, ok?

NP Rubini next time I see it I'll give you a shout.

No dice!
I just found my old "German crew Cheers mod" and made a comparision (using an hex editor) with the PUMP.dat on my installation and GWX: they are all the same. So, GWX already uses the fixed PUMP.dat. Then, the probability now remains only in "very special conditions" with some trigger that makes that message appears...odd:shifty:
Any input will be welcome, guys!
Thanks!

Actually I think Ive figured this out.

not pd
not FF
not cvt

the clue is in my test mission all river class.......................

its Escort with hedgehog.

bet you a bottle of rootbeer.

I hope so!
....but I also tested the River class in 1944 to be sure that they have hedgehog...dont worked for me.:shifty:
Anyway, can you send me your test mission?:yep:

sure

here you go you have to make a folder of the same name and
put it into it then put the folder here the mission name in your
menu list will be RepulseRiver

sh3/data/singlemissions/english

Thanks mate!
I will only test it in sunday at night. It´s very late here and I need to go to work tomorrow early. Then will go in a trip.
I will post my finds later then.
BTW, yes, "Oi" is hello in portuguese. Thanks for the gentility!

Im a product of a Catholic education.................:rotfl:

here in Catholic Highschool most of your freinds are Portugese

If this is in fact the 'trigger' MM....that'll mean the 'River' will become a necessity....heres hoping :up:

@Jimbuna from the day I opened the box on sh3 River FF was always
a necessary correction to the very flawed set up in vanilla.

2nd most common commonwealth combatant missing ? are they kidding

Good point :yep:
