Gettinng rid of ship sunk message..

Anyone tell me how. I've tried twice and failed.

I think it's stupid to have a message that the ship is sunk until it goes under. Just think how that would make you deal with things differently

You should ask RFB's creator or whomever's sinking mechanics mod was used in RFB. Removing the sunk message entirely would be great but I think some of the best sub modding minds in the biz have hit a brick wall and was only able to stall the message as long as possible.

With RFB I'm getting the message well after the ship is confidently sunk through visual inspection.

Why not just delete the written text located in Data/Menu/menu....

Stock reads like this...

4140=Enemy Unit Destroyed
4141=Friendly Unit Destroyed
4142=Neutral Unit Destroyed

In 'Menu.txt' you'll find both "Ship sinking" and "She's going down"...
I disabled those and the 4140, still not working. Got to be something else.

But not for me, casual gamer likes it.

How'd you disable it? I think if you just delete the entry it uses some binarized backup or something. Try replacing the text with "TEST TEST TEST" to see if a modification goes through.
