Background for newcomers:
Okay, so a loooong time ago I started work on an SHIII mod called Norwegian Operations that was supposed to add a lot of stuff to the Norwegian theatre -- scripted stuff, historical lighthouses, forts, and city details, single-player missions, maybe a couple retextured ships, randomly generated traffic for immersion, lots of city/town names on the map, what have you.
It was really ambitious and I announced it before I really had a lot of material to show off. I also seem to recall I experienced a HDD crash or something that forced me to have to restart, and I was too inexperienced to know that once stuck on something, you have to ask for help, so I was stuck for months on one tiny detail it turned out to be trivially easy to fix once I actually asked on the forums. I had high hopes for the project, but it ended up running into the sand, and at some point the computer itself was put away to gather dust.
Had I been older, I would probably have done a lot of things differently. Focusing on one thing at a time (missions, lighthouses, individual cities, and so on) and released the mod bit by bit. That alone would probably have saved the project, or at the very least given you a content pack or two to play with.
So how is all this here?
Recently, however, I finally decided to buy a HD docking station, allowing me to go through the HDs of some old computers and find, among other things, my NorOps stuff on one of the computers.
So I decided to upload what I have. It was organised into one folder, and whether there is more content with more progress to it in the actual game folders I don't know. I might dig around in those later, especially if I can get SH III running on my current computer.
Those of you with the game installed are free to dig through these files (not too many, I know) and see what you can make use of (either as-is or built upon/edited by you). Help yourself, and consider it public domain or whatever. Just credit me if you use it for anything

Note that this is built upon some version of GWX or another. I found what looks to be the 1.0 version install files in the folder, along with a rar called December23Corrections.
