Feedback before release is good, interesting.

Sailor Steve; You have a good question. I used the stock game format for the "From: - To: & Sig" and concentrated on the message content. But now those are done so I can refine the rest.

hyperion2206; Im starting to like "Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine" for the "From:"
Am I to understand this translates to "Supreme command of the war navy" ? When I translated that back to German I get "Oberster Befehl der Kriegmarine". Which is correct? If you don't mind me asking.

I have another question for you guys.
For "To:" the messages have "German forces at sea". As I posted before translated it's "Deutsche Kräfte am Meer". First I belive that is accurate, but which is better?
I mean for German players that would oviously be fine, but for English players that don't understand any German at all Im not so sure. Now I could make the translation, and include what they mean in the read-me file. Or just leave it as is.

About the signature, right now they are "Bdu", from stock format. I figgured this to be in-game message candy. I mean I don't know if actual messages sent were actually signed or not. But for added authentic looks I'd be willing to change the sig.
Now just so you guys know if they were signed in a certain way, only after a certain date it means some manual editing. I'm not sure I could do that with a macro so it would delay the release a few days.

I guess the best translation for 'Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine' is 'High Command of the German Navy', 'Supreme command of the war navy' would be a 'word-for-word' translation.
'German forces at sea' would be 'Deutsche Kräfte auf See'.

EDIT: If you need any help with translations I would be really happy to help you!

hyperion2206; Cool I appriciate that info!

And good point about the word for word translations. These are dictionary translations (from software, on-line tools) and not nessesarily the use of the Language. Which is why I hesitate to use them. I do appriciate the help.
All of the messages though, that's almost 500 lines of stuff, not just a few words in each line but multiple sentances etc. I mean that's alot of work I think to translate. I guess I have a hard time just asking you or anyone to just do all that work.

I'm looking to get this mod out by the end of February, or there about. So Im thinking since this will be a copy-paste text mod you or anyone who downloads it could translate the actual messages if they wanted to anyway for their own use. Then, given time of course if there is a complete work done I'd be more than glad to combine the files in a new download with credit given for the work.

As long as you don't give me a deadline I'm willing to translate everything.;) But do as you please and if you need help just give me a shout.:D

Smart @$$? Not at all. I knew it was something like that, but I can't get to my own computer to look it up.

Google? Never heard of it.:damn: :damn: :rotfl:

When IrishRed did his "Radiolog" mod, he used 'OKM' for the first few, and then switched it to 'BdU'. I don't know if he knew something special, or what source he used, but it seemed real at the time. You might check out his earlier work, compare it with your sources and see what you think.

Good idea and looking good!

You probably know this one, but anyway. Here's a link to some real radio documents captured from U-505 http://www.history.navy.mil/library/...u505_radio.htm

U-505 Kaleu only got his messages after they were typed? :hmm:

Nice site:up:

Please help
 

I'm sorry to hijack this thread :oops:, but can someone please upload for me the above "RadioMsg" file. I need the file above for a upcomming mod that has nothing to do with the messages. It has to be like the one above.

Please help ;)

Danurve, sorry for the small hijack. :oops:

The additional time-line radio msg's text mod will be released in a few days.

What are you working on?

Great mod Danurve, keeping watch for the download link!:up:
Venatore, you have been PM'd!:yep:

Reece,

Thankyou once again,

Danurve,

It's a mod that no one to date has done :)

Well, arn't they all?

Must be getting close, again looking forward to this one:D

Addnl_time-line_msg's *Released*
 

Thanks your the interest in this text mod.

Addnl_time-line_msg's has been released!
I had actually planned on releasing this a little sooner but durring busy season work takes much time. Then one must run sample carrers at times to test the messages, and all that jazz.
I have decided to include two versions, well two files.
One stock, all in English, and a Second partly translated in German. In the partly translated file - the message TO: & FROM: are translated in German*, the rest of the message is in English.
Of course a readme and two example pics are included so you can use the one you like. Remember not to add both. Installation instructions included in the readme file doc.
If you want to test the mod after you make the install, start a new begining carrer (`39) and these two examples should show up around 1600, `39, 09-03. make sure you have a qualified radio crewman at station.
Enjoy!

*Thanks goes to hyperion2206 for helping with some translations.
btw: for now I'm hosting the files on my server, that realy has nothing to do with the game. But it has plenty of bandwidth without the ads.

Thanks again for your work on this:up: d\l now, look forward to it.

Yup, the devs completely neglected the radio in SHIII. Anything that can help in this department is much appreciated! :up:

Danurve,
 

Danurve,

Thankyou for your effort on this mate. :up:

Thank you very much for giving me credit!:D I was glad I could help you, in fact I'm quite eager to translate more, so don't hasitate and gimme some more.;)

I'm very happy to see others using and enjoying this text-mod.
And glad to be able to contribute to the game this way. :up:

Here's another pair of thumbs from broadcasted messages.
