GWX 3: Radio Log_Expanded Update Mod

[danurve]

There was a great deal of chatter between the boats and command. Not possible to gain accurate boat to boat communications so I used different reports to fill the gaps. Including intercepts, agents reports etc.
Did all the boats get the traffic from bdu? Probably not, but sinkings could boost moral, what other news was good at the time?
You can of course delete the lines you don't want. RL_E was ment to be complete as possible but also a base for players who want to see custom jazz.

as for sinking u-boats, my distress messages mod was humbly included in gwx3- its reports from u-boats to base on the open frequency stating attacks from warships etc. these did occur during the battle of the atlantic, and yes, did effect moral.....
but thats the beauty of the message file, its accessible enough to change what you want

Getting bad news from intercepts of distress calls from other U-boats and intercepts of messages from Allied ships about the sinking of U-boats is unavoidable. I didn't remove those, just the "official" messages from BdU announcing U-boat losses, etc.

Does the Radio Log_Expanded mod replace the stock SH3 messages_en.txt file, or add to that file?

I'm asking because although I had edited the Radio Log_Expanded messages_en.txt file to remove all reports from Bdu of enemy naval losses at sea, I just received one such message during my current mission.

I wrote down the message, and searched the mod's .txt file for it, but no such message was found. However, when I searched the stock messages_en.txt file, I found it, as well as all of the other messages of this type.

Any idea as to why I got a message that had been deleted from the Radio Log_Expanded?

FWIW, I am continuing a career that I had started in GWX 2.1.

Jay; If you JSGME RL_E then yes it will replace your existing file in GWX.

If you do a manual install, or copy RL_E's 11,000+ lines into the games file then you'll wind up with duplicate city. But it sounds like your familiar with how to easily edit the file.

Depending on how you did your search - some messages may have a different header, or lead in so to say. Maybe even a typo.

I'm still on 2.1, carrer in the Med looking for these mysterious uber DE's. Although I'll admit, by mid `44 they are getting to be an annoyance.

I used JSGME to install the mod.

In the case of the "enemy naval losses at sea" message that was received, I searched RL_E for the ship named in the message. Nothing was found. So, it's still a mystery as to where that message came from.
