The answer is PEBKAC! Nice mod though, no more Ludicrous speed ahead with the tartan wake.

PEBKAC, hahaha, nice one Nisgeis

[Dowly]

Thanks!

[Arclight]

My pleasure, just a tweak I made while working on some other stuff. Figured might as well upload it.


I had to ask. PEBKAC indeed.

[reaper7]

Nice one thanks, the small thing can make such a difference.

[Bilge_Rat]

very nice, thanks

should'nt this be in the Mod section?

[Arclight]

Aye, kinda misposted. Still waiting for a mod to move it.

1011=All ahead 1/3
1012=All ahead 2/3

Would match SH3 better if it was

1011=All Ahead Slow
1012=All Ahead 1/3

Or find out what the real equivalents of the German terms are. Actually I think the version in the game now is pretty much a direct translation of the German terms, as weird as they seem to English-speakers.

1010=All stop
1011=All ahead 1/3
1012=All ahead 2/3
1013=All ahead standard
1014=All ahead full
1015=All ahead flank
1016=All back 1/3
1017=All back 2/3
1018=All back full
1019=All back Emergency!

What do you think about changing some small capitalization, wording things? The "all" refers to the number of engines, but really we have no control over that and I think the voice .wav files don't actually speak the "all" except for "all stop." It's nice when the text matches the voice heard.

I'm guessing at what the english voice .wav files say since I have the German voices. I'm also trying to get the historical german terms used in there but it's tough going.

If the rest of the messages in the chat buffer don't use periods then I guess the propulsion orders shouldn't either. Either way "1/3" should be written out as "one-third" (and 2/3 "two-thirds").

1010=All stop.
1011=Ahead dead slow.
1012=Ahead slow.
1013=Ahead half.
1014=Ahead full.
1015=Ahead flank!
1016=Back slow.
1017=Back standard.
1018=Back full.
1019=All back emergency!
