Under "War Patrol" in game is..
Hunt for Wounded Bear
Php Attack
Lifeguard
Cloak and Dagger
Hellcat

I made a folder and call it "WP6-Coral Sea" and put the 2 files inside and named them the same as the folder and it does not show up in game...

Hi, see my other post in reply to you under the RFB thread. I set it up as a "single mission" rather than a "war patrol" and it worked fine. It shows up under quick missions.

It should work under either single missions or war patrol. The only difference is that one uses a SM prefix and the other uses a WP prefix. The key is that the name and the number must match in the folder, the .tsr and the .mis.

I can get it to work in single mission but not in war patrol....

When you added the WP6 to the files and the folder, then it did NOT match
the inner setup of the mission file. That's why it won't show up. If you just
name it all to "Coral Sea", it should work as advertised....

I'll try it again...

Jim, just downloaded the files and put it in as a single patrol and as a war patrol. Worked perfectly, thanks. It is so much better than the original, who ever heard of a patrol starting in the middle of a battle. Must away to sea.

Hi Jim! Thanks for the Patrol

Have been playing with the files and have uploaded a revised "version" here:

To show map (sample):
MissionBriefing=Port Moresby harbor|May 5th, 1942|#Coral Sea.tga#0,0,400,256|You have loaded both fuel and ammo... etc.

/edit: new upload...

Right!

Been playing with this Patrol - got intrigued how to get it to work

Your first unit must be players sub??
If many units are close - like in harbours - they can't be validated in Mission Editor (reporting min. distance must be 300 meter)?!?

-
So first I removed all units and placed a Players Sub as first and only unit. Made it playable and with entry date as/or before patrol start. Now all types can be selected...

After validating all is okay, I manually added the other units in harbour through notepad...

All appears to be working now...

The new edition is uploaded here http://www.mediafire.com/?eg3gxmx10ws

To Jim: sorry for hi-jacking your thread

There must be another way to do this? Anyone?

Thats OK !! I ran the partol about a week ago and discovered many new things
myself. Watched many battles between air & surface forces. Had Vals & Zeros
drop on me many times but avoided them all. I even had 4 kates drop torps in
the water. I was at 100 feet when I watched the torps go right over me. If I
had been at PD, BOOM !! Many allied pilots were in the water but I could not pick them up. I will have to change the secondary objective to rescure operations.
Ended up sinking a Hvy. Cruiser, an Escort Carrier, a Passenger ship (troops)
and a med. frieghter for 26,000+ tons. I ran out of time so I had to quit with
those numbers. I will make changes to the mission & re-release it...

I'm finally relieved from duty in the Kriegsmarine, so I use your Patrol to get myself acquainted with my new american sub.
What an incredible weapon!

Took out an entire Task Force singlehanded! Good to be a freedom fighter!

Of course we got a little help, as the IJN got distracted by an US airattack.

Never seen so many airplanes before

but hey! it keeps the crew on their toes.
Lots of aircombats and we rescued two pilots (had to swap out to SubSim to find out how on earth to pick up the poor sods) - very nice feature in SH IV!

Looking forward to test your revised Patrol. Very interesting scenario!

FAdmiral · 07-28-07, 10:29 PM

OK, got the "Coral Sea" patrol to about where I want it. Working Good !!
Also revised an old patrol I did some time back called "Harbor Stealth". I had to make sure it would still work OK with patch 1.3. I am also testing a new patrol I just did called "Sink the Yamato". So far it has some exciting elements while hanging around Rabaul. This one is mostly shipping and not much in the way of aircraft like Coral Sea was. Hopefully I can post them up for DL in the next few days....
