Is there a mod to annotate the marks on the charts?

Platapus · 04-27-09, 07:31 PM

When using the "mark" function, all that appears on the chart is an "x" with that annotation "Mark 1"

Is there a mod where this annotation can be changed. What I would really like is for the time of the mark to be displayed.

X with the annotation 0442 for the time.

Is this possible and if so, has anyone made such a mod?

I want to get more and more into the truly manual tracking and targeting aspects of the game and being able to automatically record and label the marks with the time would be a great help.

Much thanks

I don't think so. There have been threads on the subject, but I think the conclusion is NO.

None that I'm aware of. Would be a great addition to the game though were it possible.

No. You can change the text of the marks in a savegame file. But that means you must save/reload. (and saving in the vicinity of a unit is crash sensitive.)

Yeah, it's a real shame that this can't be done (or at least hasn't yet been done). It would be very useful. Maybe this should be added to the SH5 wish list.
