One Warship missed. :down:
U-48 goes to the scrapyard.

One unsuccessful patrol from U-48 War Journal, but a good example of the use of Mission Orders.:D

Those are stock messages and not part of the mod, but appear to be from different U-boats (U-33 and U-28).

Can you please elaborate with the content of the messages?

Liking the look of this mod very much. I've installed it and I will give it a test later on in the evening :up:

Anyway, if it's stock versions msg or gwx whatever, can't they be fixed ? :hmm:

The first one doesn't seem to be broken as the first message (based on your times) should have been:
From: U-33
To: BdU
1939/09/19
Returning. Grid BE 3451.

There are no other messages that you should have received at this time.

The second message is broken - the quick fix is to open the following folder 'data/campaigns/campaign/messages_en' and delete either of these:
19390920 1451 19390921 2300 1 100 20 @U-28@^BdU^1939/09/20|Low fuel, returning. Grid AM 8414. MB 24.
or:
19390920 1451 19390921 2300 1 100 20 @U-28@^BdU^1939/09/20|Position is BF 6176. Bearing is evaluated as good by D/F station.

These are stock GWX 2.1 messages and, as you can probably imagine, working on message mods is eye watering and the only way to test the whole mod is for users to report errors (as you kindly did) so that we can put things straight.

I'm working on an update of WBNN (a consolidation of this mod, Lehmann Times Lehmann Radio News and GWX 2.1 Warning Orders) and will include the fix in that update.

If you like the look of this, you'll love WBNN at: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=138030

Wreford-Brown 07-16-08 04:44 PM

That one has got me beaten - there is no reason why you should receive the message twice.
Sorry.

Reece 07-17-08 01:15 AM

Just in case you didn't know, when you save a patrol then reload, the last message from the previous save will often come up again, just a SH3 bug!:yep:

Wreford-Brown

I did some mistakes enabling your mod over JGSME (just noticed it now) There was a double folder mistake made accidently by me: D:\Games\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\MODS\GWX 2.1 Mission Orders\GWX 2.1 Mission Orders

Huh.. now it explains everything :)

My Sincere Appologies for making unnesecary noise about double messages :oops: :oops: :oops:

Sorry..

Wreford-Brown 07-26-08 05:48 AM

No apologies are needed - you've identified some genuine messages that, although not wrong, could be improved.

Your last one was a stock message and the dirty fix is to delete the following line:
19391213 1555 19391213 2200 1 100 20 @Open Freq@ ^Radio Intercept^1939/12/13|Picked up|S.S. Sekstant

I'll make the amendment to WBNN v1.1, and please keep me informed - no mod is 100% perfect and it's user feedback that keeps me tweaking.

Thank you for keeping me informed.

Aight.. Will be in touch if something else comes up :up:

Wreford-Brown 08-20-08 07:56 AM

I know that self-praise is faint praise, but I've just passed the 1000 download mark on FF for this mod and just under 3000 overall!

Hope you're all enjoying the mod.
