Is there anywhere I can check my own course?

Check one of the many compasses, or zoom in on the navigation map.

Gorduz · 08-01-05, 05:10 PM

I find the one in the lower window to small. In the nav map I have to drag and estimate my own course. Im looking for either a large compass og a presise readout of my course.

Drebbel · 08-01-05, 05:14 PM

Ah, ok, I see.

I find the in-game compasses good enough. No need for me to know my course 100% excact.

But you could always click the compass aat the course you are doing at the moment and listen to the voice report.

ok good idea tnx

Use the setkey utility in 'commands_en'. Allocate a keystroke to the following command:

[Cmd180]
Name=Set_course

I use 'v' as I don't use the event camera. Every time you hit the key your officer will call out your precise course...

Hey, look at me - I'm a commander now. You lot had better start calling me 'sir' or there will be hell to pay...

Yes Sir but look what happens when you get your next avatar :rotfl:

I just passed Commander.

Edit: Oops, Neal changed it.

Sorry, forget what I said.

I set my UZO or periscope to 0 degrees, then press '+' to Set Heading to View. It'll tell you your new heading, which will be the same as your old. It's a hack, but it works.

Hello!
Here is a mod I've done. You will have at least have a big and clear compass. Adding these voice commands menaged above will perhaps give what you want.

how do I use the setkey utility? I tried to allocate V bur nothing happend

clive bradbury · 08-02-05, 11:31 AM

Almost certainly because you still have 'v' allocated to the event camera in the file - try another keystroke. I believe that set keys 1.3 is more advanced, including giving you lists of commands, but I have not tried it.

Gorduz · 08-02-05, 12:02 PM

I cut the "key" line from focus on event cam and pasted it under set course. is this wrong?

clive bradbury · 08-02-05, 02:36 PM

No, that's how I did it. If you like I'll pm you my own keyboard file, but there are several other changes, I don't know if I can remember them all:

0 = conning tower view

v = course

> = free camera (instead of shift + F2, as I play 100% and don't need a 'next object' key)

' = return to previous view (e.g. pressing this when in the attack scope puts you back in the conning tower)

# = rudder amidships

\ = helmsman view - gives you close up of the guages

I think that's it. English keyboard.

Let me know if you want it.

Can you please explain how to use setkey to get an officer to call out the subs course? There is no command called "Name=Set_course". How do I create one? Thanks! Joe S
