Radiolog 'lite' and 'heavy' mod 1.4 *update* 21.10.2005

[KaleuBauman]

I've been trying to d/l the "heavy" version for three days now, and I keep being told that I can't d/l the file from my IP because of too many downloads or some such. Any way around that?

Hello Irishred,
you must have taken part in this german "9te Funkmod" project, this is the message mod i'm currently using (for it is in german as it should be . I did not have repeated messages here, so what is changed regarding the (english) radiolog mod ?
Greetings,
Catfish

Let me try another website:

For those of you who can't use rapidshare, try there.

No, I had nothing to do with the German version at all, except part of the English translation is present, but thats as far as it goes. As for repeating messages, there shouldn't be any, but I can check the log again to make sure re-transmission times are turned off.

Updated version of the radiolog mod included March 1941 is now available.

and here if you can't use rapidshare:

Note: I've gone though and changed and double checked all the message broadcast and they are now all set to '0' or in other words - broadcast once, so there should be not more repeating messages at all. However, some messages are large enough that I've had to split them into multiple parts, so these are not repeating messages. As always, if you spot any errors please let me know so it can be fixed.

Enjoy.

Thank you much

I've got the radiolog lite installed and in Sep 1939 i recieve a message about engaging French ships, then a little bit later i get the same message but it's only a shortened form.

Btw: re: French ships thats not a repeated message. That is supposed to be there.

[R Hardman]

Outstanding !!!!!!!! This has been very well timed since my patrols have been 3-4 months behind the heavy versions message traffic. Thanks!

I just downloaded the lite version yesterday. I like it! It is better than the stock messages. I was on a long patrol, and in March '43 I got a long message. Part of it was cut off. Is there a way to flip the page to view the rest of the message?

[turbidite]

In related topics, has anybody managed to get the radio messages out of the "aces of the deep" ressources files ? That would make a nice addition to the radiolog. The format looks like nothing i know - it is probably encrypted in some ways.

You wouldn't happen to know which message this was? Some of them are rather large and are sent in multiple parts.

Yep, several AOD messages are present in the radiolog file:

19391002 1130 19391002 2005 0 100 20 @Bdu@^Officer only^|1939/10/02|All darkened ships in the whole area off the east coast of Britain and the whole of the French Coast may now be attacked on sight and without warning. Darkened ships encountered off the British and French coasts can be assumed to be either warships or auxiliaries. Complete freedom of attack against these vessels is permitted between 44 degrees N. and 62 degrees N., and 7 degrees W. and 3 degrees E.

19391004 1730 19390903 2005 0 100 20 @BdU@^Officer only^|1939/10/04|U-boats are permitted to attack, without warning, enemy merchant ships which are observed to be armed, or which are listed by the Naval Staff as being armed, or which commence firing from unobserved weapons. The area in which darkened ships may be attacked without warning is extended to 15 degrees W. U-boats are still required by the Führer's order to save the crew of any ship they sink, providing it can be done without endangering the U-boat.

19391013 2145 19391013 2200 0 100 20 @U-42@^BdU^|1939/10/13|BE 3535. Sinkings...

19391016 1731 19391016 1800 0 100 20 @BdU@^U-45^|1939/10/16|U-45 Report.

19391019 2020 19391019 2100 0 100 20 @BdU@^Officer only^|1939/10/19|The area in which darkened ships may be attacked is extended to 20 degrees W. Ships are not to be boarded for examination. They may be stopped by gunfire, and their papers examined, but must be sunk only with torpedoes. U-boats are not to engage in gun actions with merchant ships.

This was the message that couldn't fit all the way onto the paper:

19430305 0300 19430305 2300 0 100 60 @BEF. UNTERSEEBOOTE@|1943/03/05|With the exception of two or three doubtful cases, enemy information about the position of our U-boats appears to have been obtained mainly from extensive use of airborne radar, and the resulting plotting of these positions has enabled him to organize effective diversion of convoy traffic. We were slwo to realise the technical possibilities of ASV Radar and our counter-measures lagged behind.The frequent appearance of the expression 'radio-located' in the British situation reports complicates our problem of finding the convoys by means of patrol lines, which until now has been our main method. With the object of taking every means of concealing patrol lines from teh convoys, as soon as enemy airborne radar has been identified, all boats are at once to dive for 30 minutes.|BdU

Another thing I am wondering is, and I don't mean to offend you, but are the typos historically accurate, too?

LOL No, I copied and pasted that from the S.O. AOD site, I didn't even notice. There are probably a few more messages like this, so if you get any more cutoffs with no continuations please let me know.

I added radio lite by using the mod enabler but I still dont get messages.

Any ideas?
