[REQ] Return to Base message when out of ammo

tomoose · 03-08-11, 02:58 PM

Situation (using TMO2 and RSRD)
Having spent a good patrol bouncing around various locations in response to the various assignments sent by radio I have a few gray stars on the map and am now out of torpedoes and low on fuel. I get yet another assignment (i.e. a yellow star on the map) to go somewhere else. I obviously can't do much if I have no torps, I have to go to a Base.

Request
Is there some way to 'prompt' the game to send a "Return to Base" message once I am out of torpedoes. In other words, is it possible to have a mod that reads the torpedo status and if it's zero then the next message will be "Return to Base".
i.e. (in old programmer speech)
IF
Torpedo Count = 0
THEN
Send message = "Well Done. Return to Base."

I'm not suggesting actual programming I'm just wondering if one or more of the game files could be adjusted to accomplish this. I think it would make it a touch more realistic given that we can't actually send a customized message at the very least if we send any message once the torpedoes are at zero then it should prompt a 'return to base' reply.

You get the idea.
thanks.
