Just add the messages into commander by adding en_ to the front of them in the [TEXTSETTINGS] section.

ok seems to be working now.

1. Rollback SH3 Commander
2. run SH3 via SH3 commander once
3. Exit SH3
4. Close SH3 Commander
5. Change the en_menu file to your liking
6. Run SH3 via SH3 Commander

and it should work until your next rollback.

Changes made during a patrol will not be reflected in the game.

tried that... when i close the file it says "Could not specify path ensure that the path is correct" yadda yadda yadda

when i double check the path it comes up with some nonsense about how i am not allowed to edit this file.

i saved the file to desktop hoping to just move and replace the existing CFG file... when i do this none of the buttons on SH3 commander work except the "close" button

Only if contact with a large convoy is entailed, otherwise this cappie keeps his ship quiet.

Is the AI capable of pinpointing your location by intercepting radio messages? I know it happened a lot IRL for sure, but, the usual question: Is this modelled???:hmm:

I'm not sure how accurate the information relayed is, but yes, your radio transmission does divulge your position. It's rather uncanny how closeby they are when you first get wind of their presence in the area.

I went two or three days in 1943 without sighting an aircraft or receiving one radar warning...

sent in a position report and within an hour i was attacked by mosquito bombers

Coincidence?

i have my doubts!

@ GoldenRivet and Penelope Grey: Your 'replies' are very nice, but I'd hate to be the radioman who had to send them. I only had to use the telegraph key and Morse code once, but it was awful. I'll keep mine short, thanks.

On a side note, one of the missions in SH2 had a message which read: "Chief Hinkle's wife says new submarine has arrived in port. Unit has a periscope."

they are long indeed... i would have hated to send the personal messages from Karl to his front line commanders in which he congratulates them on their success and informs them that they will have a knights cross waiting when they get back yadda yadda yadda :rotfl:

BdU really wanted its assets' locations to be picked up by the tommies!:dead:

In reading your replies, it seems you have an actual Commander's Handbook. Do you? And where did you get it?

Thanks,
