Travel Mode Help..

[spardha]

Hi again.

Ok I was patrolling the south of Ireland for the British Supplies mission, Using Trevally's scripts search an area. I'll be honest after about 40min of not finding anything my attention had tailed off somewhat. I think I was @ TC 128 in the script when I noticed a contact was flashing and I had taken some damage.

Disabling TC and zooming on Map mode I had wandering into a 4 strong Battleship Patrol. By the time I had noticed they had destroyed me

Now I think this was down to my settings and wondered what others set when they are hunting. Im not sure what the bar is call so I've posted a pic of what I think my settings were when this happened.

Hi , there are a few things you can do .
Download TDW user interface mod .
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166093

This mod has lots of options found here .
NewUIs_TDC_6_6_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Scripts\Menu \TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py

##################################### Message Box (SH3/4/5 modes) ####################################


# do we go to TC1 on any messagebox text?
# change below to either True or False
TC1OnAnyMessageBoxText = True

Thats what the left hand button is for on the screen shot of yours when it is enabled . You can click it on or off but i would use it always except in ports , its up to you .

Go into C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\main
Copy and paste time compressions .
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=1,32
CriticalDamage=1,32
CrewEfficiency=256
AirEnemyDetected=1,32
SoundEffects=8
CharacterAnim=32
FriendDetected=1,32
EnemyDetected=1,32
RadioReport=1,32
Particles=32
PrayState=1,32
HunterState=1,32
3DRender=32
Maximum=256,32

Travel mode overrides warnings like shallow water etc . Only use it if you are sure you will not run into anything .

Hi,

I do have TDW's mod installed, and I didn't realise I had travel mode on.

Do the above changes stop TC going above 32+ ?

But with travel mode off, I would of thought I'd have dropped to TC 1 and heard the watch call "Smoke on the Horizon" ? which doesn't seem to happen. Instead I pile straight into or past the contact before I know anything about it.

look in the options.py for the following:-

# do we go to TCx (where x is defined by TCxOnMessageBoxTextDesiredTCLevel) when one of the following messages is posted in the messagebox?
# change below to either True or False
TCxOnMessageBoxText = True
# if TCxOnMessageBoxText is enabled then it will trigger on the following numbers from menu.txt:
# NOTE: all must be placed on single line with no breaks for options exporter to work correctly!
TCxOnMessageBoxTextNumbers = [ 9200,9201,9202,9203,9204,9205,817,4800,4801,9206,9 207,9208,9209,9210,9211,9212,7666,7667 ]
# if TCxOnMessageBoxText is enabled and one of the texts from TCxOnMessageBoxTextNumbers is found, what TC level do we go to?
TCxOnMessageBoxTextDesiredTCLevel = 1
# do we go to TC1 on any messagebox text?
# change below to either True or False
TC1OnAnyMessageBoxText = False

Now anytime one of those messages appear - your game will drop to TC1

You can check out those codes in the menu.txt and then add or remove to your style
