[req] ID target

[FooFighters]

Hi there captains...

Is it possible to mod the ID target as seperate option.
I do not use manual targeting, so every time I use my periscope and move over a target, I can see what type of ship it is.

Would it be possible to serperate the ID part. So non manual targeting users can also enjoy indentifying ships.

I can see and totaly understand what our saying here. I too would be interested in knowing this one. I like you do not do a manual targeting in game but would like to be able to tell the crew what type of ship it is then have the game figure out the rest of it.



If you find this out Foo can you get the info to me as well?!

I, too, would be interested in this. I don't know if I know enough about the game files to say whether it can be done or not, but it can sure be looked at.

This is not my fix, but it works ok.
Do not know if some mods make changes to this file but you can change what you want.
Backup your data\cfg\commands.cfg file somewhere & make the changes you require (using notepad)
Editing fire torpedo to ctrl+enter saves accidental firings.
Some may not work but identify target seems ok.

Thanks, I was already playing with that command.
It only works when you use manual targeting.

If you use auto targeting, the ship is always ID'ed.

I will keep you informed of my findings.

So far, the only thing I get done is remove the text completely in menu_1024_768.
It's better then nothing, but not what I want.

And I use too ...

[Cmd343]
Name=WP_Identify_target
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x49,C,"I"
MnID=0x3F130002
Str=1073
[Cmd344]
Name=WP_Solution_to_target
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x54,C,"T"
MnID=0x3F130003
Str=1074

Cmd344 i use with indemnification angle (left or right) ...
