...---...---...---...---...---...---...sos

We have just had a very strange experience with clean install patched to 1.03. First patrol,new career,S class,1943,Deploy to Solomon Islands. We get to within 50NM of star,now it says sink something,OK,we motor over to the bay,about 8NM E of Rabaul,sink sm merchant w/deck gun,& get radar contact on inbound convoy. Long story short,after sinking 2 Esc.,& 3 merchants,we run out of loaded weak ass fish.must mod torplex? any how,we surface to use deck gun,& Zippo the rest of the convoy,has been beamed out of sight,out of radar range,I am shaking my head,whats up Doc! Then we get new orders to patrol Solomon Islands. Had we done enough damage? Leave the rest of convoy for seed to re spawn? Where did they go?they just vanished.>>BUG,or Feature? >> Anyone else experience anything like this?
Second problem: tried to alter cmd.cfg to allow enter key to allow TCx1,normal.Previous fix,for cmd 6,& 313,doesn't work,anymore,anyone,care to assist please. Is this funny,you might just take SHIV,& Love it. Thought it might be corupted patch DL,You guess.:hmm:

When a convoy gets to it's destination it disappears. It sounds like that is what you experienced. Dunno about your second problem.

Second problem

Well patched to 1.03,now I can not get this fix to work,to get TCx1 normal w/Enter key.
The Commands.cfg ,must be altered in WoP.You will find it under path,--
-- C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Cfg\Commands.cfg -- Step #1--
--open Commands.cfg ,with Notepad. We will be changing:[Cmd6],& [Cmd313] in this file.(NOTE)copy Comands.cfg
file to a location you can find,so you have backup to return to origional install,incase patch from Ubi.
Over writes commands.cfg


[Cmd6]
Name=Time_compr_normal
Ctxt=1,2,6,9


;______________________________________ (looks like this)backspace to remove line,&leave 1space between
cmds.sequence.


must be rewritten to look like this.

[Cmd6]
Name=Time_compr_normal
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x0D,,"Enter"


step#2 change [Cmd313]

[Cmd313]
Name=Fire_torpedo
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x0D,,"Enter"
(looks like this)
must be rewritten to look like this.


[Cmd313]
Name=Fire_torpedo
Ctxt=1


Save changes when closeing Notepad.Fire torp button works,Enter,sets-TC.to x 1,in 1.02 HELP ! bump,for exposure.

Default FYI

That's not an SOS signal

What you are broadcasting is S O S O S O S

If you are still needing help with this, you can try my keyboard config app:

Ahoy,sewer pipe sailors

It's an automated distress beacon signal,if I were sending code.it would look like this ...---... ...---... ,(SOS). At any rate,thxs.for the humor. I am still hitting a wall,trying to get the"Enter " key, to do TCx1, I Am DISTRESSED!

You might want to look for Game Paused and use that instead. The Time_compr_normal may not actually be used in-game.
