(i dont even have the game yet, so that's where i'm coming from with this comment, but...)

...There are times when i have little self-awareness and I'm the only one in the house and it's sunday and i'm hungover and i can freely allow myself to be a weird nerdy type. it is those times when i take my SH3 or SH4 boat out for a bit of a role-playing run and I'll find myself whispering "schleichfahrt" while hitting the 'Z' key
I'll find myself wandering over to the radio room, leaning against my bunk, looking at the sonar guy and clicking him to get the hydrophone menu, asking him to report the nearest warship contact. I'll try to visualize the situation up top and then come up with the decision: 'ahead 2/3, rudder port 20', whispering such while i click those settings on the dials.

I'm sure i'm not the only one who likes to play the game this way, and now with SH5 we have a game which actually lends itself to be played that way! yeah! great!

the only problem with super-realistic stuff is that you'll be that much more annoyed with those things that just arent quite right, doing all that cool stuff but then having to hit a certain key 20 times to set 'rudder port 20' nullifies the greatness to some extent

kudos to the devteam for trying to add new cool stuff, but if it doesnt work than it's all the more frustrating. you only miss things when you know they could be there. I never missed a cook and an engine room in my SH3/4 games. if they are there, great, as long it doesnt result in frustratingly faulty rubbish

right?

Yeah, you are .

The " Would've-Could've-Should've's" of life are what drives people to do better.


(Translate: Should've's = Plural of the word Should Have in abr. form):D
the whole phrase is said "Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda"

Hey Jimimadrid.

This is a great find!
I also don't like to run around that much and I really like to have hotkeys or something similar.
Maybe someone can use it. Did you post it in the Mods forum already? Or are you able to use it?

Greetings from Landsberg

I can't use it. It will be scripted in the deep of the py.files.
Since days i'm trying to understand the scripting to resolve the problem of better positioning the resized maptools. But i only get Headache and editorcrashs. :nope::nope:

This seems to be a job for younger man with better scripting knowledge. :hmmm:

How about the hotspot on each officer be moved/copied to the 3D voicetubes that is located in different compartments - THAT would give a good feeling imo.

I'd love voice recognition in this game. One of the few truly stellar things I enjoyed with Enigma: Rising tide.

At the very least the station hotkeys should be re-implemented then it's up to you whether you want the "fun of walking" or not.

Ask (out loud and in a clear voice) and you shall receive!

I do not talk to my crew. Battle station is battle stations. Period. I make my attack. If successful then I give them all an atta boy after the action is over. Other than the first initial questions answered I do not ask anymore. BTW, the stew sucks... I have had it for better than 25 days at sea. :har:

Implementing the crew voice tubes would have been excellent. But, we can only dream for now. :-?

It seems that the Devs have planned to go this way. But they stopped.

Found this in the Menu\Gui\Layout.

Wonders if this will be a DLC/expansion feature... :shifty:

Voice Recognition for SH5 – v1.1 - by skwas

Hmm...

Maybe if modders dig down deep they find whole finished game hidden somewhere down below ;)

Or if we wait long enough we may purchase DLC which would weight 1 MB and really just put "Enable finished game = true" instead of "false" in some .cfg file.
