Merchant Spotted MessagE?

Tachyon · 11-10-06, 05:55 PM

I've seen this msg appear in some screenshots on this forum, but this has never happened to me in-game. Is it because I have turned on auto-map updates? Even then, while it initially shows unknown contacts as black, it never shows them as red, even when I'm very close to them and can easily spot their flag. Can anyone help me out?

What mods are you using?

GreyWolves 1.1a .

They should disappear off of the map once you have visual. Otherwise they should be black as the intelligence is from a plane or something that didn't engage and confirm. The price to pay for a realistic mod.

Well allright, but still, shouldn't there be a "Merchant Spotted Message", followed by a Menu where u can choose whether to intercept.... even in the GreyWolves mod?? Or is that feature removed???

(P.S :I didn't try this in the non-modded version of SH3, as soon as I got the game, I used GW mod cos i heard it was so cool, and it is)

Edit : I figured it out, DisableMessages in main.cfg is "YES" by default, I guess that's why the Merchant/Aircraft spotted msg never showed up.
