[REL] SHIV extra messages

Description

Immersion messages for Silent Hunter IV Wolves of the Pacific. (1024)

Most messages are from Naval Records of ship sinkings by U.S. Submarines. They included the Submarine name/number, ship sunk and tonnage, and the C.O. at the time. I have formatted the record to simulate a message sent from the Submarine. Other messages include important Pacific Naval events and battle information.

Enjoy.

This is outstanding, can't wait to get it installed.

One thing, I had a look at the text file, and the sinking of the POW and Repulse is marked for Decmber, 1942, and not 1941.

Good Catch! I'm correcting that and will have the fixed file uploaded asap. But it's actually ok, as the start timer for that msg is correct. Thanx!

keltos01; Thank you but I do not want this released in jsgme version.
These are just extra messages SHIV players can add, not ment to overwrite or replace another mods file content.

Thank you sir.

Dude, you beat me to it!!

I've been considering something like that, using just Pacific news and such for the messages.txt, and having ETO news show up on the clipboard, like what the Washington radio station does. You certainly went a lot farther, with the sinking reports, than I would've ever done though.

Since yours is just an add-on to the messages.txt, I may go ahead with my idea, and incorporate yours in mine.

With full credit of course.

And you may want to release it, please!

I think I found another goof. You have this:

Admiral Chester W. Nimitz is appointed to command the US Asiatic Fleet.

Shouldn't that be Pacific Fleet?

Not according to the source:
http://www.worldwar-2.net/timelines/...index-1941.htm (last record)

But according to this:
http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq36-4.htm
and this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_W._Nimitz

It is the Pacific Fleet.

Thank you for that catch, it will be corrected and posted in a few hours.

Btw; I'd like to see your other messages too, sounds like more immersion for the game.

danurve · 03-18-10, 05:23 PM

Both corrections done, file uploaded.

I had to delete the old one because I did not rename the file.
If you have the previous d/l please delete it and grab the new one.
1st post new link.

Thanks!

I dont have the folder that the readme says to open...What flavor of SH4 is this mod for?

Jan Kyster · 03-18-10, 11:06 PM

It's a typo... go to your "data/Campaings/Campaing" and look for file "messages.txt"

/edit... if you want to, I've taken the liberty to upload a JSGME-version here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zntgjnyytm5
It's a sorted combination of all messages I've collected + Danurves (many, many) lines.

Thank you sir that makes it a lot easier..
