[REQ Help] enabling weapons officer, (solution to target)

DiveMonkey · 05-07-07, 09:48 AM

Some of this code still exists, I've been able to add the button for "solution to target"...I've added NoWeaponOfficer=false to game play settings with no effect.

Still unable to get solution to target to work.
I'm thinking it's because there's no actual "weapons officer" on board?

if so, is this a desiganation possible to add? a new crew member...weapons officer!

For us lazy Skippers who like to think we're playing "full real"
Or...On the run needing quick solutions to targets

I added a keyboard command for this in Commands.Cfg just to see if it would work. It works the first time you hit the key, but he seems to get fixated on that target, so I deleted it.

Would you mind posting the key config, I'd like to mess with it and see if I can get it to work.

I use him (wp) all the time in SHIII
He comes in real handy when things start getting crowded

thanks

this is what I have so far

OrdersBae.cfg
;Button3Command=WP_Compute_solution
;Button3IconRowColumn=4,4
;Button3Tooltip=5643
remove the ; and number accordingly, you can place the button under any minue.

Gameplaysettings
NoWeaponOfficerAssist=false
added this line from SHIII but didn't make any difference.

Here are the Commands.Cfg entries. Identify target (which I use quite a bit) & Solution to target.

[Cmd343]
Name=WP_Identify_target
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x49,C,"I"
MnID=0x3F130002
Str=1073

[Cmd344]
Name=WP_Solution_to_target
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x08,Cc,"Ctl+Backsp"
MnID=0x3F130003
Str=1074

I have a WO,when I go to battle stations he stands by the TDC in the conning tower

DiveMonkey · 05-07-07, 04:04 PM

Yes, I have a guy standing there. But when I select\ask for solution to target he responds in my dialogue box but doesn't update TDC, least not so's I could tell from my scope.

What I'm thinking after looking at the crew assignments is there's no actual WO assignment.

It's a nice feature to have, kinda the best of both worlds
If you want to take the time and plot your target, you can.
But if it gets to be to much\to many targets, you can have him help you out.
