Additional time-line Radio Messages

danurve · 02-20-07, 08:46 PM

Progress report; additional (Atlantic / Med.) supplimental messages added, now totaling 445+ time-line radio messages. When I'm done I estimate there should be just over 475.

Great, looking forward to it

Progress report; Body of the messages are done! Total for this release is 483.
For the most part I'd say it's ready to go, I'd like to finish up the read-me file, and get some opinions on the format before I zip/rar it up.
Here's a few examples of the messages. They are in the current (stock) format:

Please check the next post for a few examples of alternates.
The first example is stock, and the next are just different ways to present the message body.

The following are a few exammples of how radio messages can be presented. I might mix it up a little bit.
I don't want to open a can of worms but I'm realy looking for opinions - suggestions on what looks better. (these message examples will not be in the release)
1 Stock - plain format.

2 Stock format with extra spaces.

3 Message directed to your u-boat.
(this would need to be limited because most messages are general information)

4 Message including date sent/broadcasted)
Yes I know it shows the u-boat # but that could easily be changed to "German forces at sea" or some jazz.

Opionins - suggestions?

Number 4 is the best I think. Would be great if the messages could be translated into German, don't you think?

Something such as this perhaps;

I like it actually.

About the translations; I agree it would be nice to have.
Here's the problem. I tried a few lines using http://babelfish.altavista.com/
"German forces at sea" translated to "Deutsche Kräfte am Meer" - OK
"Deutsche Kräfte am Meer" translated back "German forces at the sea" - OK

"Naval High Command" translated to "Hoher Marinebefehl" - ?
"Hoher Marinebefehl" translated back "High naval instruction" - Not ok

Just for kicks I translated a few message sentances and got back lots of inaccuracy. I can't imagine if I used that translator what the messages might then be actually be saying in German. Or the time it would take to verify etc.

So, I don't see doing the translation at this time. Unless I find better tools to use for accuracy, and the extra time to process multiple sentances and each preface.

Hehe, I'm a German so you could give me all the lines and I translate them (or I'll try

). Perhaps some fellow German subsimers would like to help me?!

, but can someone please upload for me the above "RadioMsg" file. I need the file above for a upcomming mod that has nothing to do with the messages. It has to be like the one above.

Please help

Danurve, sorry for the small hijack.

The additional time-line radio msg's text mod will be released in a few days.

What are you working on?
