[REL] Battle stations & Silent Running on all HUD stations

Iceberg · 03-27-07, 05:46 PM

I made this small mod after forgetting my crew at battle stations for a couple of in-game days! Boy did they get tired!

So now, no matter what station is displayed on the HUD, I always have Battle stations and Silent running visible so I can't forget them!

If it can be of use to you too. Enjoy.
(Green buttons not included! Love them, thanks jimimadrid.)

JSGME compatible.

Get it here. << Updated for Version 1.2

(Screenshot does not represent the new menu of V1.2 but you get the idea!

)

Pretty cool Iceberg. I'm sure as lot of people will like that.

I simply made a made a keyboard shortcut in the 'commands.cfg' file to toggle Battlestations on and off, Shift+B...

[Cmd436]
Name=Toggle_battle_stations
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x42,s,"SHIFT B"

But you mod is much nicer of course because it shows up in green whether or not it's on.

Downloaded.

Excellent.

I always get paranoid that one of those are on and this'll keep me from constantly clicking the various areas.

Thanks!

I recall from earlier games that often the very first reaction mods where the best and were the ones you always keep. They are usually very practical, and this definitely is. Well done!

birdy · 03-28-07, 03:11 PM

great mod

but how do i install it?? i downloaded JSGME but i dont get how to use it.
help pls
thx

Iceberg · 03-28-07, 05:24 PM

Well, I'm glad you like it everybody!

@birdy To use JSGME, just put it in the folder where you installed the game. Then you create a folder named "Mods" in that same folder (maybe JSGME creates it on first run I'm not sure). In that Mods folder is where you put all your mods. In the case of my mod it would look like:
...\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Mods\bs_silrun_all_menus\
If you look inside the "data" folder in "bs_silrun_all_menus" you will notice the folder names are in the same order as in the "data" folder directly in your Silent Hunter directory! Then run JSGME and enable the mod. Now what JSGME does is it takes my file and replaces the one in your game (and creates a very very very nice backup of your original file for you!) So you can add and remove mods very easily. It even tells you if there's a conflict between mods.
Just make sure that when you put something in your Mods folder it's like:
...\Mods\bs_silrun_all_menus\data\...
and not like:
...\Mods\bs_silrun_all_menus\something_else\data\. ..

Hope this helps!

very good and usefull idea. Thanks.

Great mod. Well done.

The best mods are always the little functional ones aren' they? make life so much easier!

Could I suggest adding the damage repair toggle to all stations as well - could be useful in a tight scrape.
