Ship Names Mod - Page 2

Sailor Steve · 01-26-09, 06:27 PM

"Useless" was a joke, and one I've been wanting to make for months. I like my jokes. One of the things I talked to Dan about in Houston is the fact that for almost every name I have I also have the real GRT. This means that in the future (SH5 perhaps) you can sink a ship and get a name and be awarded the actual tonnage; and even look it up online and verify it.

That's realism for me. But that's also for the future.

If Ubi contracted the fantastic modders we have here to develop SH5, we would have the most incredible subsim to date.

Include the modders from other places, and the dev team would be unstoppable...

Anyways, looking forward to your most useful of useless mods, Sailor Steve.

Thanks. Nothing to look forward to though - it's out. Just download the new SH3 Commander (link in my first post). Then you'll have it.

Hi Sailor Steve!
I was really looking forward using the mod, but I activated via SH3 Commander, but I cannot see the real names in the patrol log (the one you get by pressing key "K"), where only the type of ship is reported (eg: Ore Freighter, etc)

Where am I wrong?
Thanks for helping a newbie.....

THANKS!

variellone,
Check the log in SH3CMDR for your Kaleun.
BTW Welcome aboard

What he said. After the patrol is finished, go back into SH3 Commander and click on your career. At the bottom, under 'Click For Available Actions', click 'Update Your Personnel File'. Commander will then create the file for your captain. There you can click on 'Patrol 1' and you'll see all the results. Once that is done you can go back into SH3 itself and when you look at the patrol report it will be updated with the Ship Names, Cargo Types and Crew/Losses. This is the only way Commander can do it. It's also the best way, because what you see is information that you wouldn't know until after it had been confirmed by BdU, and sometimes not even until after the war was over.

Oh, and also what he said: WELCOME ABOARD!

I guessed that was the way it was going to work, since I still am in my first patrol and in SH3commander I still got a blank patrol list.....but I was too much looking forward to see the effects of this fascinating mod!!!!
Rookie's desire was driving me, I would say!

But then again, OT....I cannot find anymore where I could choose to have my crew speaking german....I thought it wass under audio, but with GWX3.0 installed I can't find it anymore! I searched on the forum, but was unable to find an answer and I also couldn't find it in the game's manual!!!
Who can help?
Thanks!

ans special thanks to STEVE! RESPECT!
