"Ship spotted" text missing

thebigJ_A · 04-17-11, 02:20 AM

I suddenly have a strange bug. This is a little long, but it's hard to explain, sorry.

Now, when my watch officer sees a ship, he'll yell "Ship spotted!" (in German ofc!), but he doesn't say the bearing, and no text at all will appear in the dialogue box. This is an issue, because without the bearing, I have no way of telling whether he's simply reacquired the same ship, or a new one has appeared, bar hopping on deck and searching myself (not always the most expedient thing to do). If I ask for the nearest visual contact, only the bearing text appears, no distance.

It just started happening after I ran SH3Gen on this save for the first time, but since that just reads data from the game, then writes it on the save's navmap and log, I don't see how it could cause this.

I tried changing officers, and submerging and resurfacing, but it didn't help. I made a new career and loaded it, and it worked fine. I then ran SH3Gen on that save, and the problem didn't recur. But then again, it didn't seem to happen right away the previous time.

The only other change I remember making was adding the OLC Gold Flat Sun Fix, but I took it off right away because it didn't seem to do anything. (I didn't think I needed it, was just experimenting.)

Another thing, and this might be a really stupid question, I was wondering if the CO ever changed position. At the same time I noticed the text not appearing, I realized he was, instead of standing right in front of me in the command room, slightly to the left, facing to the right, between the two seated guys (type VII), with his left hand in one guy's back. When I loaded the new career (type II), the CO was facing the same way.

What I'm running (via Commander):

GWX
GWX Axis Mediterranean a/c skins
GWX English Nav Map
GWX Main Movie Das Boot ('cause it's friggin Das Boot!

)
OLC Gold MkII ~ Option 4
OLC Gold MkII Update
ACM Reloaded for OLC Gold MkII
ACM Lite Map
TMT v2
GWX3-WB News Network
GWX Captain America's Officer Icons

That stuff all seemed to work fine, it was only after SH3Gen and the flat sun fix that this happened, though of course correlation doesn't necessarily imply causality.

Any ideas?
