Under_dog, not sure what you're asking for here- are you building a single mission or working on the LND layer? That file has the locations of all the buildings, ports, cities, etc- anything on land.

You might want to PM Rubini, he's developed some nice harbor traffic and he could probably answer your questions better.

Try the "SH3 Mission Designers' Forum" at:
http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/index.php

Normally you will see the ports by zooming in.

They are visible in every layer. SCR, LNF and RND layer.

Use the mousewheel, or the + key to zoom in.

Do you use the standard RND/LND/SCR layers to build your single mission upon ?

So what DO you see when you zoon in to for instance Wilhelmshaven ? Maybe you can even include a screenshot.

Do you see anything else in the world when using the mission editor ? Units ? Waypoints ? Bases ? City Names ?

Hmm, very strange.

Can you see the ports when zooming in on the F5 map using SHIII game itself ?

Looks like it :-)

My Sh3MissionEditor.exe file is from saturday 26 februari 2005, 16:35:32 and is 450.560 bytes.

When the file names/directory names are incorrect the editor does not crash but simply does not dispaly the harbors.

Lets do a check, just to be sure. The Alexandria directory+filenameon my system is:

Code:
....\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\MissionEditor\Locations\HB_Alexandria.tga
Make sure you line is exactly the same.
