empty radio messages and buggy diving??

If it helps I can point you to the original documentation surporting what has already been said.

Assuming you actually use the Malfunction option in SH3 Commander, then Von Harris has nailed this problem.
I found the post which confirms that the Malfunctions and Sabotage options in SH3 Commander is not compatible with OLC Mark II. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=147667

Regarding the missing text. Again I think Von Harris is spot on. You should have in your Supplement to V16 folder which came with hsie's hardcode package two files:
_Append_to_en_menu.txt & _Append_to_de_menu.txt
The text inside these files when added to en_menu.txt and/or de_menu.txt should do the trick.

B.T.W. I think your mod soup is awesome disregarding the couple of mods which BigWalleye spotted as having compatibility problems. Alternative Flotillas and Integrated Orders should be disabled as documented in the readme which came with the OLC mod.

Also I found that when I added the "jimbuna's Q Ship reloaded by h.sie" on top of the USAM mod like you have. I would get a crash to desktop when getting into deck gun range of some tramp steamers.
To be fair the Q-Ship mod is supposed to be already in WB's USAM. I just added the "...reloaded by hsie" version because it had some extra files.




@Bigwalleye
So the Longer Repair Times aspect of the OLC Mark II mod prevents the Realistic Repair Times in hsie hardcode fix from working?
Hundreds of hours of gameplay over the last couple of years and I never noticed. Thank you for the enlightenment.

Being a newbie just starting with mods, I too had the same issue with empty radio messages.

Like the above posters wrote, the extra messages for en_menu.txt from the Supplement to V16 folder were overwritten by other activated mods. I had to go back and add the extra messages to the file or else you have to move the Supplement to V16 folder mod to a lower level of JSGME.

ValoWay doesn't have a Supplement to V16b1 folder. He is using GWX Hardcoded Fixes http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...postcount=3387, which is a prepackaged implementation of h.sie's patches for vanilla GWX. All the files are modified and all the patches have been added to SH3.EXE. It's just "Activate with JSGME and go." But the menu_xx.txt files are aready modified, so ValoWay doesn't have the information he needs to make the changes. He could do file-shuffling, he could merge files with WinMerge, but I think he is a little too inexperienced to recommend anything except varying his active mods.

You guys are awesome!!

@VONHARRIS
I have indeed SH3 commander's mulfunction and sabotage option enabled !!!

@BigWalleye
Thank you for the details and instructions regarding the hardcode fixes!

@ohmygollygosh & @BigWalleye
Thank you! I'll disable sh cmd's Malfunction and Sabotage options then! I've _Append_to_en_menu.txt and the german one + complete backups of the sh3 stock,sh3+gwx files and sh3 cmd (in an attempt to reach my maximum hard drive space ) .

Again, you all deserve some subsim badges or something !!!

I'll try that

[BigWalleye]

Good luck and good hunting!

Where is this option (Malfunction and Sabotage options) in SH3 Commander 3.2 again?
I know I saw them somewhere...

EDiT:
I've found Malfunctions & Sabotage in SH3 CMD 3.2 under SH3 Options/ Gameplay Settings/ Model Effects.
The problem now is that I never had this option activated. I think I thought I had this on because I was adding some lines to the Randomised events.cfg of SH3 CMD 3.2 when I was enabling the Q Ship mod from "jimbuna's Q Ship reloaded by h.sie" (the cfg file contains such Malfunctions & Sabotage lines).

I'm currently testing and will report back for new questions or if I found a fix.

Hey mate,
you were right about the _Append_to_en_menu.txt & _Append_to_de_menu.txt files !! Seems to be fixed for now !!!
