I see. I did install a mod but that was for the Obs Scope only and still hard to make things out in the dark.

How do I disable the real map tools?
Much appreciated.

öhhmm ?
 

so i read the 1st Post and your Manual, ther is nothing about a hidden Officer Bar. There is a Option to make this Bar unpinned.
SH 3 Mode has a Officers Bar or not at this Moment ??

thx

SH3Style or SH5Enhanced will give you the officers.

DW, looked around for this in 4.2 but could not find it. On default is the message box set to not display friendly contacts. It's blank when starting, I am guessing that is why.

don't understand what you're asking here. Can you explain it more?

My message box is blank. If I ask for a weather update nothing appears as far as text in the message box. The only other mod I have installed is German Voices. I uninstalled everything else. Without UI the Message box is fine, I have only seen this with the last couple of versions. At least with my install.

interesting. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this problem? Do you remember what version this problem started? I could go back and see what has changed starting with that version :hmmm:

4.1. I was thinking I had a bit of a mod soup on the go so I deactivated everything. I am sure I did not mess with files before that.
Strange.

Edit: These were the mods I was running. Plus as mentioned it happened with 4.2

Do you have the user option TCxOnMessageBoxText enabled? If so, try disabling it. Try opening the Ships Journal and see if it's blank also.

No, when I came across this I thought it was perhaps a new option so I checked user options for the Message Box. Did not see anything. I checked both 4.1 and 4.2 as far the Changelog, but saw nothing referencing this.

I'll try deactivating and running again see what happens, and post back when I can. Thanks for the help.

someone posted that if you save your game and then exit and reload it it brings the messagebox back. This is very bizarre to me as to why it works and why the messagebox quit working in the first place :hmmm:

That is strange, I do save quite often. But since this happened I did not re-load as I did not know that would fix it. Should have tried it as this works for other SH glitches, thinking more of 3 & 4.

Is it possible to have a tracking system where the scope follows the target just like in SH4?
