Radio messages question

zwitasch · 02-08-12, 03:36 PM

Hello. I apologize if this topic has already been dealt with, I tried to search the forum, but without success, so I am posting a new thread.

I have noticed that radio messages sent by bdu to me go to my captain's log, and moreover, I get no notification when I get them. I cannot see them in my messages tab, only in the capt's log.
When I intercept a message, or a message is for someone else, I get a notification and the message is displayed in my radio messages tab.
This is puzzling, is there a way to fix this?
Thank you

Are you using the mod, NewUIs with TDC for SH5 by TheDarkWraith?

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166093

I use it and I get a flash on the message receive icon when I receive a message.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since we are on the subject, I don't getting any sound when a message comes through. Shouldn't there be a sound, I haven't recieve a message while in real time. I am usually in time accelerate when I get one, would this effect me not hearing a sound (morse code) when getting a message?

If anyone can answer this, it would be great!

Yes, I am using newUIs with TDC... Great mods, kudos to TheDarkWraith!!

Here are all the mods im using:
Accurate German Flags
SubFlags_0_0_8_byTheDarkWraith
Grossdeutscher Rundfunk
MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Stock w beards
MCCD_1.04_GER
NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith
NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_New_radio_messages_German
NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_Real_Navigation
NewUIs_TDC_6_3_7_U-Jagd_Chrono
NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_AltAdvSpeedGraphics_by_naights
NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_jimimadrids_map_tools
Trevally Harbour & Kiel Canal Pilot v2.4

I also couldn't hear the sound when a message was received, but somehow it works now after I have played around with different mods... It's just that I dont receive all my messages to my messages tab...

When messages are sent to you they will come TDWs tab. But there is a % chance that it will not get to you (set in options)
When this message is sent using the campaign layer and it is classed as must be received - it will drop your TDC (set in options) and play a sound.
If TDW tab does not pick it up - the game one will.

So if you get messages and there is nothing there - check the captains messages.

Thanks. But I am still a bit confused (I am quite new to this game). For example, when I send my status report to BDU I get a radio message back, but I only see it in my capt's log; there is no notification, and it's not in my messages tab.
On the other hand, when I get a message from another Uboat, or enemy, I hear the sound, there is a notification and it's in my messages...

How can I set the options to be able to read messages from BDU to my Uboat in my messages tab?

In regards to Raven2012's question, I hear the morse code sound regardless of time compression....

OK, I heard sound when I got a message. Then I went back to a earlier saved game of same campaign and when I got message this time, same one, it didn't make a sound. Is this because the sound plays when I get the message as I play the campaign fresh. Like if I went back to earlier saved game, it assumed I already got the sound and doesn't play it again, like the sound is a live event. Hope that makes sense, lol.

Love this game, but so many new bugs, even after 60+ mods. Why couldn't Ubisoft sent us a finished game?
