A bit late after 15 years? But okay...

Hi Convoi_PQ17 will this Mod work with Nygm WAC5 and LSH15?

Where can one download this nice tool?

It's still Work in Progress.

Should work for SH4 also, in my guess...nice tool :up:

I got no d/l of it yet. As I said, it's been leaked on the mailing list. But I will be on the lookout...

This would be very cool indeed! :yep:
Any word about it yet?

I'm trying to find the messages in AOD as they're much more "personal"/directed at the player themselves vs. the generic war news messages which no Commander would have received in the SH3 Commander form anyway.
Unfortunately, the AOD messages may need a hex editor to deal with them.

Hi John I did radio messages in Steel Sharks GWX Campaign when i had 40 plus convoys in Scripted leyer i would run the mission editor and when a convoy reached the rockall banks grid AM1768 I would fill in a printed spreadsheet
with convoy date time then write the message image below from new Steel sharks LSH2020 Campaign ive been a bit busy


Re Radio Messages date time date time (100=% chance of radio message sent message length 20mins so message start time 1809 finish time 1829 @From@^recipient^Message .................................................. .................................................. ......................
the reason you have date and time twice is that if the radio message posted at 2358 would finish at 0018 the next day

:up: I got your files awhile back. Thanks again for the info. !

I was actually meaning the messages in the screen while you're waiting for a patrol to load.
Instead of the worldwide war news as is in Commander now which I don't care for, replacing them with the more relevant AOD messages.
I.e., in late summer 1942 AOD has a pre-patrol message along the lines of "The Americans have become more professional and dangerous in their ASW tactics since Drumbeat. Be alert for this."
Or in the summer of 1942 a message like "If you find yourself low on fuel, contact BdU as there may be assistance available to extend your patrol" when the u-tankers started showing up.
Numerous other examples of course with the point being much more relevance to a skipper actually going on patrol vs. the war news in Commander.
But the AOD messages appear to be hard coded. :wah:
