Hi,

I have updated the mod with a much nicer Enigma graphic.

Thanks to Tycho for drawing my attention to this Enigma graphic and a big thank you to Johnfb for giving me permission to use the graphic.

Regards, LGN1

Looks good! Pretty slick way to use existing capabilities for a novel purpose!

Could anyone decipher the message in the test mission

?

Just completed my first patrol using Poor Man's Enigma. I tried a slightly different tack than your approach of encrypting parts of the messages.txt file. I decided that the chefsache messages should be the ones addressed to my boat only. So I went into menu.txt and encrypted all the BdU responses and wolfpack messages. Stock has only a half-dozen, but h.sie and Stiebler bring the total to nearly 70. Now, when I send a patrol report or a contact report, I have to wait until I can decrypt it to see BdU's response.

This, of course, is totally unnecessary from a game-play perspective, and perhaps not even historical. But it sure is cool! LGN1, thanks again for a really creative enhancement.

I'm not so talented, but with some logical thinking, I have this:

Require a little more manual work from the user, but looks very good.

this is a super idea

WOW,
would not have thought that someone else hinbekommt!
Have not tried it yet, but I'm really looking forward to it
correctly in the game works. Can hardly believe it.

best regards
Karl

WOW,
hätte nicht gedacht, daß das noch jemand hinbekommt!!!
Habe es noch nicht ausprobiert, aber ich bin wirklich gespannt, ob es
richtig im Spiel funktioniert. Kann es kaum glauben.

Gruß
Karl

any idea how to add it ?

I have it installed.

Not hard to do but not a JSGME setup, but you are going to need to be able to update your en_menu.ini and 1024_768.ini files as well as your Message.txt as outlined in the readme instructions.

It does work as advertised.
