Hi all, I have a question but before I ask it I would like to say thank you to all the great modders out there. They have turned a good sim into a great sim, so thank you all very much. You are very talented people.
Now to my question. I am using RFB 1.3. I was wondering if there was a way to add a tool I saw in another mod under the navigation bar. It was a tool where you could ask the navigator for an estimate of how far your fuel would take you at any given speed. I found this to be a very useful tool. Any info would be appreciated. Regardless of the reply , Thanks Beery for a great Mod.

I know how to assign a key command to it, and also use that to let you ask for that report by voice when using Minsc_tdp's cool SH4Speech program, but I don't know how to go about adding a button for it to the orders bar. There's a tutorial on the process of modifying the command/orders bar here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=113354, which may give you some guidance on how to do that.

Good luck!

I briefly looked for the corresponding command that would be linked to it... and it's not named "Report_estimate_range_at_current_speed". It's something else but I've not dug around enough to find what exactly it is. I was busy adding Run Silent & Battle Stations to my TM mod at the time.

The rest of the process is pretty easy once you know the name of the command you want, though.


I'll try to make an all-in-one comand button bar sometime this weekend/early next week. The one file you mod is compatible with all other mods. It is sorely needed IMO.

Beats me why, but I believe that this is the command you need to mess with for this, even though it's called something totally weird - when I hit "shift G" (or speak the corresponding voice command I've assigned to this in minsc_tdp's SH4Speech program) after adding the last line highlighted below to this command group (in Commands.cfg), the game gives me a report of the maximum range at current speed:

[Cmd257]
Name=Report_time_to_turn
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F250002
Key0=0x47,s,"SHIFT G"

Go figure

Good luck!

Ah! Cool. I knew it was something weird. I also tried setting the \ key as Pause (and having Backspace as 1x since it gets rid of the watch going from high TC) but the hex code for the \ key just isn't recognized in SH4 as far as I can tell. A waste of a good key if you tell me.

Anyway, it won't be too difficult getting a full command bar set up mod once I peel myself away from work and play. I'll probably do it Sunday.

The only thing is.. anyone who happens to be running at 1024x resolution might have a squishy bar instead of an all-in-one bar.

Thanks everyone, Shift G works for me

I just put up a new orders bar mod with most of the goodies (IMO).
