TDW did so

Yeah, its in the options file of whether to teleport on crash dive and given a 5 sec. delay that you can also change aswell before the sub begins to dive after entering radio room.

You must of gotten caught off guard by the AI and finally needed to hurry, the crash dive icon has been this way for several versions now.

I have the correct entries for 32bit and 64bit users already coded in.

When you identify the ship are you opening the XO's recognition manual and checking the check box for the correct ship? If you don't check the checkbox then the correct mast height will not be used. I guess I could add some code that automatically updates the mast height if you issue the command identify target and never open up the XO's recognition manual.

Thank you very much.

TheDarkWraith, first thanks a lot for the mod.

But problem with zero mast height is also at me. I do, as you told. I click on recognition manual and check a box, but no value is transfered to TDC. I clicked several times without any effect. Sometime value is transfered but most time no.

What I also noticed, that icon for following the target is not active. Why ???

Look at the screen

[TheDarkWraith]

In order for mast height to be automatically entered you must:

- have a contact locked
- XO TDC must be turned on
- open up the XO TDC dialog box and select the correct ship


Does it appear to be a language issue with the automatic mast height? Are any english users having any problems with mast height data being automatically entered?

[PL_Cmd_Jacek]

TheDarkWraith, until the problem is solved, could you reactivate or tell how to reactivate height mast value manual setting ?

[furby]

thats what happens to me too...same set up

[Jander]

TDW, I am quite sure it is a language thing.
I did not do extensive testing, but up to now, all ships which have german umlauts in their names result in mast height 0 - ships without umlauts work.

And see the example of PL_Cmd_Jacek, the polish language is full of special characters - maybe nearly all ship names in polish contain some ´ and ` and whatsoever.

Roster name are langage localized, I've got 0m masts prob here too.

I think if use the name before the = it should be fine.

I'm making something now to work in the interim until I can figure out a solution. Should be available here soon.

That's the step there that's causing me problems. I'll lock a ship, shift-I to identify it, then click on Range and it'll be locked at 20m or whatever the last ship I ranged was. It isn't till you open the rec manual, flip all the way over to the ship in question (what I wanted to avoid by using Shift-I ) then it'll update the proper mast height.

So it was working, I was just Doing It Wrong™.

I would suggest some way of updating it without having to open the specific req manual page. If only that thing opened to ID'd ship page rather than whatever arbitrary start page it has.

Ok I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit. English (Australian?) version.

I started up the warspite mission... got one of the German DD's in my scope, locked the target and then clicked Identify Ship in the weapon officers menu.

He says it's a Z34.

I then click range and it says the mast height is 20m which is wrong.

Then if I go back and click on Z34 to see the ID book, scroll through to the Z34 entry and click it off then back on - now when I go to use the stadimeter the mast height is zero. From that point on no matter what I do the mast height for any ship is zero.
