Return to sub position on map mod?

TDK1044 · 02-11-08, 10:17 AM

Is it possible to have a mod that allows you to return to your sub's position on the map once you've completed waypoint creation? As an example; you set waypoints from Pearl to Honshu, but now you have to drag the map in order to get you back to your sub's position. Could there be a hot key that simply took you there? Or is there one already?

In TM, the command is CTRL+ Left mouse button click. Sub position will center where the arrow cursor is located. I haven't tried this in vanilla 1.4 or RFB so I don't know if it will work.

Should be easily moddable nonetheless.

You live and learn. I've used TM since day one and never knew! Thanks for the info.

I think it was stock keys also if I remember correctly. I used it once. The manual states..... oh never mind.

It's stock. Been that way ever since SH3.

And crinkle the manual, while damaging the edges of the map ,as you pull it past those annoying plastic bits, leading to a damaged spine on the quick reference guide when you slot it back in

NEVUR!

Thanks for the heads up btw, thats a great command to know ^^

OFF TOPIC: Had to laugh at the back of the game box, it has one of those little quotes you normally get from a gaming magazine (that I never buy), "Silent Hunter 4 is a knockout"... the quote is from this forum, a forum dedicated to this sort of game ^^

Whoever said that is famous now btw.
