New message recieved!

Ive done a total reload of SH3 +Cmdrs today and during gameplay am getting "New message recieved" constantly. Any ideas how I can fix it?

Cheers!

You might try this mod.
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...do=file&id=545

It takes away all but the very most essential radio messages, leaving a total of less than 100 messages for the whole war.

What does the new message say?

Base change?

If so, take the radio operator out of the radio room, until the patrol is complete.

I must do something wrong. I can't seem to get that mod to work Steve.

The messages add to the immersion but the overwhelmning volume does get tiresome quickly. Makes you wonder if you are commanding a sub or a radio room.

He's not getting a volume of messages.
He's getting the repeated base change message.
"The base has been changed to St. Nazaire/Brest."
"The base has been changed to Kiel/Wilhelmshaven."
Over and over, because both bases are listed as active simultaniousely.

He can shut it up by evacuating the radioman from the radioroom, until he begins his next patrol, from the new base in France.

Beery's Flotilla Mod fixes that, and other problems, like making the Second Flotilla available at war's start.

I can't see why it wouldn't work. I just re-downloaded it and had a look, and the folders all seem to be in order. You could try installing it directly to Data/Campaigns/Campaign.

You didn't by chance put the compressed folder into JSGME, did you?

Only if you use high time compression. If you never go over 128x those 11,000 messages seem few and far between. One guy who played a 1x patrol even said he was glad to hear them, as they provided a welcome break in the monotony.

LOL that was a good one. I actually kinda enjoy the messages. Makes it more realistic for me. Although I agree at times it gets rather annoying to break time compression just to get a base change message for the 12th time lol.

Hmm, what's the name of the guy. Last name 'Resnig' by any chance? My fortune-teller the other day was overheard mumbling something about a guy serving on a battlecruiser or something, being in charge of a marines squad. Weirdest thing is she mentioned the year 3000AD. Said he'd become very (in)famous. She told of him neglecting to or being too late in reacting to boarding intruders, and countermanding the Commander's crewassignment orders as he saw fit. He loved to hear himself on the internal comm system when he did so.

I asked her if he wasn't also called Bernard by some but she said "No, different guy entirely ... but sharing the same fate".

http://www.3000ad.com/forum/index.ph...who-is-resnig/

p.s. Unfortunately this thread doesn't do justice to the Paul Resnig story in the BC3000AD game and following releases. For some reason the threads explaining what made him a Commander's Bane got lost over time.

The worse time you get message spam is on 3rd-6th Sep 1939.

At least it's not suggesting you need 'improving' in certain areas, or does BdU know more about it's men than we think...?

Cant you just edit the english or german radio file. Its just a text file with records attached to dates with parameters like repeat until received.

I like to edit them with messages such as, "The Boston Red Sox just won the 1939 World Series!" or other inspirational messages.

...heaven forbid.

I secure WO,Sonarman, and radio guy in the R&R compartment so I can sneak out of port at perisciope depth at FS without being disturbed.

Last time I left Kiel in real time I halucinated and thought Isaw a German Fleet Carrier, complete with a complement of Stukas on deck, at dock in the port.

Or maybe I just had one too many with Phillip while watching Monique at the club.
