Question: SH5 message and careers locations

[ExFishermanBob]

Just a quickie - are the SH5 career records stored similarly to the SH3 ones (i.e. as a subset of a folder)?

Secondly (OK, TWO quickies) - is the message file format and location the same?

Many thanks.

I have no experience on SHIII savegames, but yes SH5 saves are a bunch of files within a subfolder of the main savegame folder.

Regular radio messages

folder\filename: data\RadioMessages\English\year\month\radiomessage s.txt

format:

start_date	start_date_time		end_date	end_date_time		trasmission_type	retransmission_interval		sound_to_play	volume		from	to	message_body

example:

19390815	1300	19390816	1500	1	20	4	0.85	FdU	ALL	1939/08/15|6th Flotilla is ordered to end firing practice and return to Kiel.

Campaign radio messages

folder\filename: data\RadioMessages\English\year\month\campaign_rad iomessages.txt

format:

start_date	start_date_time		end_date	end_date_time		trasmission_type	retransmission_interval		ignore_intercept_%_chance		long	lat	radius		to (either player or all)		message_body

example:

19400315	1200	19400324	0100	1	20	1	0	0	-1	player	Return to nearest base to re-arm and make best speed to Norway for OPERATION WESERÜBUNG| New orders will follow.

Excellent, thankyou. Same as SH3 so my toolkit will probably work with SH5 as well.

Which toolkit?

Radio Traffic Exchange.

Perhaps someone could test it for me.

Sounds very cool.

How does it work exactly? I am not an assiduous player, but maybe if you tell us more about your mod, other SH5 players will give it a try and report back here.
