MAP CONTACS

geosub1978 · 05-07-11, 07:58 AM

Hi! I just had a fresh install with the following modlist:

SH3_XPSP2_Res_Fix_for_1.4b
WarAceCampaign 4.1_final_FULL_XP
WAC4.1 Fix
MaGui F
MaGui F FIX for WAC4.1
Type VII salvo selector
GEORGE-GIA MAGUI F
1.4b Assisted Plotting Mod
Solid_Sonar_Lines
Rapt0r's Das Boot Skin
Merchant_Fleet_Mod_3.2
SH5-Ships_V2
my new ships
Torpedo damage Final ver2.0

The problem is that I don't get any convoy or single contact reports! I only get some task forces and single warships. I suspect a problem in the contacts.cfg. Can anyone help please?

My contacts.cfg file:

[ContactSettings]
; Contact settings

Display Range To Opportunity Radio Contacts=1 ;[>0] kilometers
Display Range To Important Radio Contacts=1500 ;[>0] kilometers
Decay Time For Important Radio Contacts=172800 ;[>0] seconds
Decay Time For Opportunity Radio Contacts=1 ;[>0] seconds
Decay Time For Imprecise Sensor Contacts=600 ;[>0] seconds
Decay Time For Precise Sensor Contacts=00 ;[>0] seconds
Single Contact Min Size=1 ;[>0] minimum numbers of units in this type of group
Small Contact Min Size=3 ;[>0] minimum numbers of units in this type of group
Medium Contact Min Size=7 ;[>0] minimum numbers of units in this type of group
Large Contact Min Size=13 ;[>0] minimum numbers of units in this type of group

[ContactRange]
;under the (right) value a contact is considered as:
Short=1000 ;[m]
Medium=3000 ;[m]
Long=20000 ;[m]

[ContactSpeeds]
;less than each value means (in this order): stationary, slow, medium and fast speed ; over the last value means very fast speed
Merchant=0.1,8,12,35 ;[kts]
Warship=0.1,8,19,35 ;[kts] including uboats
Air=0.1,8,19,35 ;[kts]
Convoy=0.1,8,12,35 ;[kts]

the assisted plotting mod restricts the information you get from the navmap.

I guess the problem is

Decay Time For Opportunity Radio Contacts=1 ;[>0] seconds

The contacts on the map vanish after 1 second.

Cheers, LGN1

Here's the start of your problem:

"Display Range To Opportunity Radio Contacts=1 ;[>0] kilometers"

"Contacts=1" should read "Contacts=300"
