radio messages and time compression

Anyone know how to stop radio messages from dropping TC to 1x?

Adjust via SH3commander
When receive radio report

Keelbuster · 01-26-09, 01:42 PM

Duhhh...I should have checked that. Thx. Wilco when back to port.

I'm assuming the 'When receive radio report' option is the one to change. :hmm:

Hmmmm though that may be when receive map radio report as mine is set to 8
Messages go to 1

Main cfg gives RadioReport=8
Nowhere to alter for incoming messages

Oops

Hmm... Just incase I've set Max TC for incoming reports to 1024.

Would be nice if we could get rid of the TC drop for radio messages, bugs the crap out of me when I'm trying to cross the atlantic at x256/512 and people keep spamming SOS's and tonnage reports

Ok...yea - I need a spam-filter for the same reason. Radio messages just aren't that vital that they need a TC drop. I just sit back and read them when i've got 3 minutes and 15 seconds to spare. Radio reports, etc, for convoys/contacts should drop TC because that is vital, time-sensitive tactical info.

Perhaps we could get some of our top codebreakers to look into this... :hmm:

This is the deal; the game treats the radio messages - as in not the contact reports as a real time setting. So this means in Commander to adjust / increase T/C for radio messages you have to increase you real time setting. This will also affect any other real-time settings. Sucks I know, but hey don't blame me.

Side note, this is the reason I released the daily-double versions of RL_E. Which limit the radio msg's sent to twice a day. But even if you don't use the mod with a good text editor like TextPad you can whip up a macro and change your messages text file.

Also note In Commander I think the 'real-time' setting for t/c is the fist one in the list, sorry not at my home machine at the moment.

Weiss Pinguin · 01-27-09, 12:58 PM

So... What would changing the real-time setting do, exactly, gameplay wise? :hmm:

StarLion45 · 01-27-09, 11:19 PM

Sorry for that stupid question
