NYGM 3 Super-mod (Current: 3.6 F, January 13th 2015)

I've been playing around with 3.6F. (Maybe one day I'll get back to actually playing the game.

) Would like for the radar antenna to automatically lower when a dive is ordered, as the DF antenna does. But just adding commands in FMO30.dat doesn't work, because the radar must be switched off or the antenna continues to rotate. So, I tried command chaining and it works! Added the line "Key1=0x44,C,"D"" to Cmd462 (Radar_turn_off), and the antenna stops, comes down, and doesn't rotate in the housing. Now I'm going to tie the radar antenna to the other dive commands. I'm confident they'll all work.

I'm not sure yet how best to build this into a mod. There are so many mods that change the Commands.cfg file, that compatibility would be a nightmare! Maybe just instructions for editing? Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: Since there is only 1 command entry that needs changing, editing instructions are obviously the best way.

Add to the entry in Data\Cfg\Commands_en.cfg

[Cmd462]
Name=Radar_turn_off
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F2B0004
Key0=0x52,Cc,"CTRL+R"

the following 4 lines:

Key1=0x44,C,"D"
Key2=0x43,C,"C"
Key3=0x50,C,"P"
Key4=0xBA,C,";"
Key5=0x2E,Cs,"SHIFT Delete"

That's it. Now the radar antenna will be stowed automatically when you order a dive. It will NOT redeploy when you surface. That would be just as easy to do, but I prefer to have more control over when my boat starts announcing its presence.
