Yes, I may have forgotten to mention that part! You have to select the officer first by left clicking them. Once selected you can right click to get the ability edit page

The problem with SOAN giving X10 or X100 for the mast heights when pressing 'Send to TDC', who all is experiencing this problem? I believe I know why it's happening to some of you. For those that it is happening to what does the mast height value show (is it shown with a period for the decimal part or a comma)? In mine, since I'm US region, my mast height shows xx.xx and all is fine. I suspect that those whose mast height is shown as xx,xx is getting the X10 or X100 error. If so, I can fix that but need to know for sure this distinction.

Some feedback on 6.4.0 test 3:

1) Since the release of the tests for 6.4.0 ... the interior diesel room is very quiet. You mentioned that the volumes/sounds are controlled via a new .dll of your design. You also mention one can control the volume. How do we do that?

To change sound volume one must edit the .py file. The volume is a parameter of the function called in my TDWSound.dll file.

Now my new sound .dll can do 3D sound and sound effects. I haven't coded this ability in but one can specify the sound source in the 3D world and thus have stereo sound and sound effects.

I wonder if my new sound .dll is causing the interior diesel room problems. If you disable v6.4.0 is the interior diesel room sound back?

4) When I am at the UZO station, from time to time the zoom seems to fall back (should stay at 7x in manos scopes)

3) if you disable v6.4.0 does this problem go away? Do you see anything pop up with v6.4.0 enabled? It could be that I'm missing text entries for menu.txt for those entries. What menu.txt language version are you using?

4) can you link the falling back to any particular event, keystroke, mouse event, etc? I'm not sure about this one Can't say that it has happened to me either.

Tried to disable any other mod that may conflict with your UI, but the problem is still there.

You can drag the officers to a new location horizontally. Move the mouse to just above the officer icons and you'll notice it turn into 4 arrows. This means you can enable dragging. To drag: left mouse click and hold, move to new position, release left mouse button

You can also edit the option file to enable the officers to be dragged anywhere on screen. You're looking for the option that says officers pinned to bottom of screen. Disable it to enable this feature.

@ustahl and Ruby: I monitor other forums to see what's going on and I noticed in your German forum for the MO tips and tricks you have some incorrect data. Automation can use ANY command specified in the commands.cfg file in addition to the commands mentioned in the TDWAutomation.txt file

@TDW
I get to loose the UZO magnification when I put on some time compression in order to faster get closer to my target. I get 7x magnification back with the mousewheel only, not by putting TC back to 1x, but soon after I accellerate time again, I lose magnification again.
Right now I cannot remember what amount of TC causes that behavior, but if you deem it necessary I can find out for you.

BTW nice to know you are keeping an eye on what we're doing over in the German Ubi forum, that requires some linguistic skills on your part, right?

I am using the default english language file I assume (I didn't change or swap one out)

As for the officers abilities windows poping up ... that was my mistake ... I was right clicking on the officers 3d models in game, not the icon cards that run along the bottom of the interface. That works as advertised.

I am still having the sound issue in the internal deisel room. I can hear it when I am on the deck, start to lower down the ladder in the conning tower, but once inside, there is no sound for it. Its a 6.40 issue for me. I was unable to locate the options in the user .py file. Can you be more specific as to where that is located?

As for the UZO issue, a few posts up there is a perfect explanation of the problem in detail. I get it from time compression as well. Rolling the mouse wheel forward resets the 7x zoom.

I have another question:

I simply can't use the supermarks (6.4.0)...
I click on the map and nothing happens.

I cannot find the SOAN. Where is it?

I click on reveal charts and I get the flags, and Conversion charts, but I cant find the SOAN.

I have it enabled in the options file.

Thanks I found it buried deep off screen.

Now my crew message box - in the lower right hand corner of the screen- has disappeared, Could I have toggled it off by mistake? Is there a key to reveal it? Even after starting another mission it is still not there.

[Silent Steel]
