[TEC] Destroyer_in_attack_run message...
 

Hi mates,

I was watching that old Sh3 clip from E3 and noticed that the crew says "Destroyer in attack run" when it is pertinent, during an enemy attack. Well, the text and sound are there (in the sh3 files), also the messages on the SO cfg file. But I never saw it in game...:hmm:
Any idea?
Somebody already saw it in game?

That would be nice to get back, with bearing would be best.:p

I've seen the text and IIRC in stock very occasionally heard it in the English version. Can't remember hearing or seeing it in the German though.

Saw it only the other day :lol:

:hmm:
Where?
:D

It appears in GWX 1.03 under the right conditions.

Tarjak,

Then you saw it using GWX?
You use english or german?

I use German sounds and never saw it in GWX (I also don't recall to have sawn this message from a long time, I'm even not sure about stock 1.4...).

I've seen it in GWX 1.03 (English text...German voice) :yep:

Thanks Jimbuma. I also use GWX 1.03 with English text/German Voice...but I don't recall to have seen it since long time. But if you, Tarjak and BBW have seen it lately, then probably could be a problem with some little self made modification over my GWX installation. I obviously already look at all my own modifications and can't find why or where is the problem. Odd...:-?

Thanks anyway mates!

search your en_menu file for a ';' leading text following the xxx=. This comments out or makes that 'feature' not available. You'll find it on the 'show hull integrity' if your using GWX for example. Remove the ';' to enable.

This isn't the case here mate. I already look at this and and my en_menu is ok.
Also my SO messages .cfg file is ok, my speech files are ok too... I will look into the sonar settings on my AI_sensors.dat ... It's the unique place that I can think about now.:hmm:

Funny but the other day as an issue came up with the River Class
Frigate mod. I pulled up my main test mission from River Class testing
and had a skirmish with six of them all of whom seemed agitated by
the recent loss of HMS Repulse. (GWX1.03)

I bet in that one skirmish I heard that phrase about a dozen times.
its keyed on a proximity to the destroyer at peridepth I think.

Aye I believe I was at PD too when the DD attacked

Thanks for these tips. I will follow this issue until receive that message again!
BTW, in a typical convoy attack&hunt by escorts do you always (or at least frequently) receive this message?:hmm:
Thanks in any advice!

Well I do, but most prudent Kaleuns wouldnt. its a long story I have
an attitude problem.

Thanks MM,

I will try to make some tests again in PD only with the River class as you described.
Will post my results later.;)

The 'Destroyer in attack run' message is actually broken in stock SH3 v1.4b. About 12 months ago I remember looking at Avon Ladys mod site and I downloaded the 'German Crew Cheer Mod'. I then got the german cheer from a torpedo impact and it also enabled in the 'destroyer in attack run' message as a bonus.

When a certain in-game scenario is met, the message and speech (from sonar man) will be used. So don't expect the message to appear every time a destroyer is charging at you.

The file is PUMP.DAT found in the Data\Library folder.

I've used both. I use German sound with English text. I haven't heard it for a while but I do remember hearing that no-one really knows how to ge the triggers right. Apparently when it does trigger it is usually when the DD is right on top of you rather than when the screws start up. I've been lucky recently and not been under heavy DD attack. (Obvisouly I'm not being aggressive enough:rotfl:)

Thanks for the reply mate!

I just start up a fresh GWX 1.03 and - in my test mission, until now - no way to the sonarman say "Destroyer in attack run!". I guess that you are right: it´s broken or perhaps only in very special conditions this message will appears. I tried everything for some hours using a single mission with all type of DD and DE and no dice: PD, locking them in the periscope, stright ahead, changing deep, changing direction...nothing worked. So, isn´t with my instalation (i used a fresh GWX 1.03 as I said).:hmm:

Now about that PUMP.dat file..I used it before GWX...what you think is that with it this crap message will revive? Let´s crossing fingers! I will try again my test mission with it. Just some minutes (or hours - LOL)
Thanks again!

@TarJak,
Thanks for the reply too! If you notice that message again let me know in what condition, ok?

NP Rubini next time I see it I'll give you a shout.
