[REQ] Automatic plotting or preset/saved routes

[piri_reis]

I was working on this the other day;

It was implemented with the search patterns function in SH3. 3 Search patterns are already defined in the game using Menu\Patterns\Pattern*.mis files which are single missions with only a sub w/ waypoints.

But a menu function doesn't exist in the game to order your Nav.Officer to plot these patterns:

Commands.cfg:

[Cmd254]
Name=Search_pattern_1
Contexts=1
MnID=0x3F240002
HasDelayedExecution=Yes

So I reversed the key combo definition from return to course.

[Cmd254]
Name=Search_pattern_1
Contexts=1
Key0=0x52,s,"Shift+R"
HasDelayedExecution=Yes
CommandClass=Course
MnID=0x3F240002
HasDelayedExecution=Yes

But can't get it to work. CTD if I have the CommandClass in there and no reaction if I delete that line. Maybe a menu/keyboard expert could lend a hand here?

Yea, using the search pattern worked just fine in SHIII, except from the fact that you had to activate it at just the right position. Reimplementing that into SH5 should work just fine.

"Context" is the different positions to enable the given command, no?
what about adding Context numbers (the key is in the config file at the top) then trying the Search pattern command from within the game?

itd be really nice to have search patterns back
