[IDEA] historically oriented orders page

The closest thing to your idea is a mod called 'WB's Mission Orders' by Wreford-Brown, which works in conjunction with SH3 Commander. This is what it's about:

There should be a newer version around, suitable for GWX 3. Search the forum and you'll find many references to it, though I couldn't find its specific thread.

Thanks dcb, I'll download WB's mod after the dl section starts working again

Hi sublynx,

This idea kind of looks like something that is right up my alley. I might at least have some info for you in the sense that some of my research from the JFO! Mod might give you some info about what obstacles you may have to overcome.

In the meantime, can you point me to the source from where you got those orders? I can't seem to find it. I assumed it was www.uboatarchive.net, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Thanx in advance.

You can find the war diaries and some other interesting Kriegsmarine docs from this collection:

I guess that you and Wreford-Brown would be a kind of dream team to tackle the C-version of the idea here as your JFO! is a kind of taking BdU's Standing War Orders into SH3 and WB has made a mod for giving orders to individual boats. I haven't seen WB's orders mod yet, though. Thanks dcb for the link, I'll dl it asap!

I'm toying with the idea of trying to find the time and energy to develop this into a new mod, but I think it would be somewhat overwhelming just for me to try. But if there's interest, maybe this could be done as a collective effort.

You don't need to wait. All WB's mods are consolidated here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?hq3o9o0gftq97

Just browse the pretty long list and you'll find it somewhere near the bottom of the page.
