Radio Interaction

FIREWALL · 05-08-11, 12:22 PM

I was wondering if there's a way to make a Mod so we can send our own radio messages (edit) and get a random number of responces from Bdu.

Or is this another of the many "can't do because it's Hard Coded" issues ?

edit: Something simular was in SHII iirc

No, no Mod, and no not possible...

You have only the generic response of sunk-tonnage xxxxx.

Why ?

Yes it's possible, but only by changing the stock message before loading the game. You therefore send the usual message and get a 'randomly generated' message back, but I don't know how to change it during a patrol (i.e. receive multiple messages as you asked).

I used SH3 Commander to enable this little mod that proves the concept and gives you a random second patrol grid: http://www.mediafire.com/?gdym4o3gjky. I also randomised the usual response so it is less repetitive.

And an excellent mod it is W-B

I have it installed and a world of difference it makes.

I guess I want more than the game engine can supply.

It would have to for example... If I could send " I'm damaged" It would undestand and respond... "Return to Base" for example.

I'm afraid that is beyond my skills. I only know how to generate one 'response' from BdU so you would end up getting "Return to Base" after every message you sent.

Hard to win the war that way, but good news for the timid.

h.sie's V15E patch or whatever it's called does something like this, or Stiebler's fix with extra stuff for it does, anyway... it supplies a few alternate congratulations messages from BdU based on definable (to the game) parameters. You have to install the patch and then put an * in front of one of the message lines in en_menu.txt, then that line (the standard patrol report response) gets replaced by some variation from the patch.

There are only 6 or so alternate messages, but they're based on tonnage reported or there's one message that you get if your hull integrity is below a certain point telling you to RTB immediately. You can edit the text a bit but there's a limit on # of characters you can use.

Anyway, it's a little something to vary things up.

Myxale · 05-09-11, 02:24 PM

Didn't really think it was possible!

Maybe a combination of hsie patches + sh3 commander and the mod above...and it'll be as close as things get!

How about...

Thx W-B and Frau Kaleun. You both explained it better than I could.
