Move crew to rest

Jusa_Finn · 10-24-06, 12:25 PM

I accidentally discovered, that you can move entire crew from a compartment to rest.

Click compartment name left-right-left-right to move. I haven't seen this on any documentation, on community manual or here.

Wonder if there are more undocumented commands.

Map zoom-out would be nice with keyboard.

I have heard of that but never attempted to use it. I will give it a try.

I've gotten the whole compartment to move to rest by putting the mouse over the compartment name and right clicking. The compartment area can't be highlighted; ie; if you left click first the right click won't work. Left click on another compatment, then right click on the compartment you want to move to rest

Well that isent exactly a revelation and its documented in the manual.

I know there was major bugs with the "macro management" buttons I dont know if it was fixed with the patches or not but they used to cause CTD's.

From the .pdf manual found in the 'documentation' folder of SHIII:

Quote:

Method 1: From Crew Quarters

Double left-click on any compartment name to automatically assign enough crew
from quarters to that compartment to make it work. If there is no crew in the
quarters, the operation will not take place.
Right-click on a compartment name to send the crew to quarters (for rest and
recovery from wounds).

Method 2: Between Two Compartments

To easily move the entire crew (or as many as needed) from one compartment to
another, select the destination compartment (left-click on compartment name) then
right-click on another compartment name.
Note that right-clicking on individual crew members will send them to a selected
compartment.

Underlining is mine.

RTFM page 23.
I agree with that. But it doesn't seem to work. When trying to move stern torpedo crew to an unoccupied ec. bow quarters, response is: "Already in quarters!".

Still trying to figure it out. But it doesn't work like said id the book.:hmm:

The crew movement system seems to be a bit buggy in places. For instance (and this is what happens to me, not implying they are generic bugs):

The stern crew will only automatically go to rest in stern quarters. If I want them in bow quarters I have to 'left-click-bow quarters, right-click stern torpedo'.

If I left-click damage control, then right click a manned compartment, it won't do anything. Unless the weather is bad, and then I get a 'cannot man guns in rough water' message. (eh!?)

I know there's a coupla others, but I can't recall them off the top of my head.

Just completed my first mission, in a Type IIA. Came across a Polish Merchant. Hit it with two torps but she wouldn't go down. I had one torp left I figured would do the job. I had to send those lazy louts in the torpedo room back to quarters three times before they would finally finish loading it. LOL! I should have dismissed all of them when I returned to port and loaded a new crew, but I didn't. I did sink the Polish Merchant though.
