[2024.1] Enhanced BdU Convoys Reports

Enhanced BdU Convoys Reports (BdU CR) Current version: 1. 1 BdU CR started in early 2021 as the first addition to the game that brought a mechanism to report convoys to the player, and was loved by many. This feature was then integrated in the base game in update 2022. 1 in a very similar manner than this mod had been doing it. While great, that does not mean BdU CR was dead! After some pondering I decided to release an updated and enhanced version of BdU CR, now called Enhanced BdU Convoys Reports that came with the same feature as the old BdU CR and some new things. Finally, the mod was updated to accomodate changes for the game's release, preserving functionalities and changing some UI elements. As per the previous version, the mod simulates radio communications between BdU and the player U-boat. A complex system ensures that reports are generated for groups that are actually detected by NPC U-Boats, and that reports sent to the player only concern groups that can be intercepted. This works similarly to the new vanilla reports. By default, vanilla reports are enabled and so you will get both vanilla reports and modded reports. This works fine because vanilla reports are worded to come from other U-boats directly, with varying formats, whereas modded reports are worded to come from BdU on the German mainland and follow a standardised format. Following full release of the game the old UI elements for reporting groups on the maps were retired so if contact visualisation is enabled in the game settings BdU CR now draws a point on the map at the approximative location of the report, and the point's name contain some essential information. If contacts are disabled for the highest difficulty level, no point is drawn on the map and the report is only available in the journal. Most of the main parameters are user-moddable. You can disable vanilla reports if you want, and the mod will supress them so that you only receive modded reports. This modification is savegame compati
