Yes, the SH5 editor does work for that, but the "logic" behind the placement is elsewhere. The menu ini file "places" the text, but does not determine the actual formatting of the text, only where it displays. If I remember, the actual text is either I4 or I5 (the pages build "backwards"), but with no apparent error checking anywhere, if it does not fit on the page, the game immediately CTDs - but how to "count" to prevent that?

Have you tried the SH4 Menu maker from jimimadrid?

@ propbeanie: Hell Yeah, now i know, what i was missing all those years
I have tried the Ctrl-N thing to get a whether refresh or a new "dice roll" after four hours, if i understood it right. But i had 15m/s without rain for the first two weeks of March and 7 - 15 Meters with heavy prescr...rain and heavy fog, for the last two weeks of march. But ok, don't want to brag, but i have watched the "Werner Sobe Sonarvids", like 15 years ago. I also used to sail with no map updates, but then one is really busy, and what do i have a boat full of experts for. The torpedoes: Sniper297 wrote: MK-10 36/3200 80-160 MK-14 31/8200 46/4100 120-180 MK-16 46/12500 180-350 MK-18 29/3650 100-170 MK-23 46/4100 120-180 MK-27 12/4750 50-100 any devatriations from these numbers in your mod. And does the Mk-23 only cost renown because he is more reliable. They must have some extraordinary pins! And do some of the Japanese Submarines really have recon planes? I allways draw circles around the airports, but in the middle of the ocean a scout plane caught us in the night, came down Stuka-like in an 80 degrees angle for the center of the sub and... nothing. I guess he tried to spit on us, at least i would have tried. Crazy mother helpers those pilots: |

top to bottom:
1. No two computers are alike, and no two runs of the game on the same computer are alike. You never know when the game or machine wants to take a holiday... The main things with weather are not doing high TC when you do hit a storm, since the TC seems to interfere with the chance of a roll. It can be tough to notice when you hit a storm though, but watch for the boat's speed to fluctuate, along with rudder changes if you have set a course. Slow down to 512x max. Also, there can be times where you go from storm to clear and back to storm, and do not notice due to TC use. Shelling out to windows will also do that, since each time you go out, the game's "clock", which is based on a DirectX v9 dll library call, gets re-set. But "weather" is not realistic in SH4. I would rather be in a storm with somewhat limited visibility, than the dead-calm you can get stuck in just as badly. It can be near-suicide to attack when it's calm. 2. In a regular FotRSU activation, you are dealing with the Stock game's "Dud" rate. So you do have to have the choice enabled on the Career Captain's Office "Options" "Game Play" menu to encounter duds. Also, in the AddInModzPak are several choices of dud rate modifiers. The "650_MoreDudz" is probably the closest to "real life" percentages, and most of the torpedoes do have issues, including the Mark 10 running 5' deep. It amazes me that BuOrd would not have taken the weight of a real warhead, as compared to a practice head, into consideration when they did their settings "recommendations" ("Do this or else"). 3. The Mark 23 at first costs renown, but when the "fix" is in, it represents the "repaired" Mark 14 and becomes free. But there are still deep runners, duds, and circle runner chances. Just not as high. You'll also notice that CapnScurvy has the warhead default from a magnetic pistol to impact pistol about then. 4. Yes Martha, we have no bananas, and the Japanese subs that carried planes do "launch" (spawn) airplanes. They will do it based upon your sub's detection. In other words, if a shore battery, a ship, a picket, a plane etc., happens to see you, and the sub is close enough, it will spawn a plane that will come your direction, with a pre-calculate angle error, similar to what the guns have. If it's time for their radar to be active, they will bee-line for you and attempt to put the whoop on you. Didja hear it "screaming" as it came in? Some of the planes have that now. Sounds like a Stuka, 'cause it is that sound (thanks Jeff!!!) 5. Blackadder is required study on this team... as well as a few other shows... lol - must have the proper "chip chip cheerio and all that!" PS: If I missed something, berate me. "sorry" ahead of time! |

now, the important question: from where is that video clip? all of the Slackbladder episodes i have seen are from the Middle Ages.

1. Thx, propbeanie
2. This show is from the last season wich takes place in the 1. WW and also ends there, Herr Kaleun. Btw. Herr Kaleun, can you explain to me how world war one started? Finally one more question: I got my Gato "Gato" (new command). In the "Of new commands, refits, and renown" doc. you say its better to get a refit. What is a refit? |

were those episodes only viewed in the UK? addedum: apparently they were not exclusive to the UK because there are four seasons available on Prime Video. NOW, i have something to watch, for a change. the refit means that you received a new conning tower (turm for you german chaps) and, in most instances, it is automatic unlike an upgrade to a new boat. in some modsets, a refit (new turm) causes problems.

as an American, we sometimes forget that Hugh Laurie is a native-borne Oxonian. probably because he speaks pretty-good American.
let us not forget that Americans and English are two peoples separated by a common language.

@Jeff-Groves
"Mr. Bean" (too lazy to google) studied history, and as a student he already thought: Why must history always be presented in such a boring manner. He was the one who had the idea for Blackadder. He is pretty deep and thoughtfull in personel interviews. @KaleunMarco Ah ok. Thank you. |

@Rock Storm,
I grew up with Monty Python. Then searched out British Shows. Back before We had the Interwebz? That was difficult! After watching Fawlty Towers? I carried a spoon to wack people in the head with! That was a new insult to MANY Americans back then. Being a Comedic Actor does NOT make them Idiots! They have a gift they share with us. And I thank GOD for them! |

Even in Germany we watched Monty Phytons Flying Circus and all of their movies, way before the internetz, since i am getting 44.
Hey never heard of Fawlty Towers, and i am right away sure that I have to thank you: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072500/ I recently discovered "Das Boobs", since there was a picture at the steampage of SH4. Just watched one show. Wasn't hillarious, but i will check out some more. And a couple of years ago, i have met two guys from Manchester in an Bavarian Beergarden, who said i should watch Mrs. Browns Boy's. They were also the ones who intruduced me to Blackadder. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2201815/ |
