Heading to intercept for a stop-and-search, at approximately 6-7 klicks the armed trawler turns to face me and begins firing. Turning to face him, I engage with my deck gun, figuring I have enough range to (reasonably) safely try to engage and take out the armed trawler because, if I can, the remaining three merchants are toast. By the time it closes to 3 klicks, I've landed five hits without taking a single hit in return. Landing the sixth hit, the armed trawler abruptly turns hard aport...

CTD



Here are the list of mods currently enabled at time of patrol:

I'd really like to know what, if anything, is/was the culprit. I can't be exactly sure, but it seemed as if the last hit I'd landed had mortally wounded the armed trawler, and SHIII CTD the moment the trawler "died".

I wonder if it isn't the CAM Ship mod making it CTD.

From the readme :

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF STOCK SH3 and OF GWX AND OTHER SUPERMODS THAT ARE NOT NYGM:
A lot of people have reported problems with Crashes-to-Desktop (CTDs) with this mod, and the problems lie with the CAM-SHIP mod. The CAM-SHIP (usually IABL’s M36B ship) has to be of Type=8 in order to fly off aircraft, and this is how it is set in NYGM. However, stock SH3 lacks the CAM-SHIP entirely, while GWX has it as Type=102 (which will not fly off aircraft).
There are two solutions:
1. (Simple) DELETE the SEA folder completely from folder Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1\data\Sea, before you install the folder with JSGME. (This is essential if you are using stock SH3.exe, without any supermod installed.) Of course, now the CAM-SHIP mod will not function. You can also delete folder Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1\data\Air\CAMHurricane, and folder Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1\data\Roster\, since these no longer serves any purpose.
2. Alternatively, locate the references to the M36B ship in your SuperMod setup, and change them from UnitType=102 to UnitType=8. You will find these references in files: YourSuperMod\data\roster\british\sea\M36B (change UnitType=102 to UnitType=8) and YourSuperMod\data\sea\M36B\M36b.cfg (change UnitType=102 to UnitType=8) and YourSuperMod\data\campaigns\campaign\campaign_RND. mis (possibly also in file campaign_SCR.mis too) - search for
Class=M36B
Type=102
and change ‘Type=102’ to ‘Type=8’. (There may be several references to the M36B in the campaign files.)
That is not so difficult is it?

That is the only thing I see that may effect your set up.

Good hunting,

I was very careful setting that up, and even checked the game files after enabling all the mods to assure I'd correctly modified everything.

Owell.

This ship labelled NACA3 Large Fast Merchant

[Unit]
ClassName=NACA3
UnitType=102
MaxSpeed=17.5
Length=155
Width=18.7
Mast=33
Draft=7.7
Displacement=17600
RenownAwarded=530

It's 17600 tons yet can sail at 17.5 knots?Only war ships can do that.
The draft was 8.7 and it was incorrect so I change it to 7.7.
The reward is way too juicy,a Proteus Class Collier Freighter of 19360 tons only gives reward of 310 points.

I searched everywhere over the internet and couldn't find any historical reference resemble this ship.
Can somebody suggest a replacement model?

I checked japanese merchant database too,no such ship found.And If that was made by Japanese ship builder then it shouldnt be many in the British hand right?

I have a problem. When I try run WAC 5.01 the game works fine. But when I try to install the 5.2 patch, the nav map is a double image and the locations of ports etc. are completely screwed.
And after a few seconds in the nav map, the game just crashes. I dont know what Im doing wrong. 4gb patch is installed btw.

I've desided to try WAC 5.2, in my quest to try'm all. I know I've seen this issue mentioned before, but since it's never effected me in the past, I never paid much attention to the "Black Terrain Bug" and how to fix it. I did Google searches, forum searches and did a quick scan across 115 pages or 1717 post, on thr WAC Campaign 5.0 thread. with no solutions. I'm sure I've missed it somewhere. I'd really appreciate a little help on this one ... Thanx Jerry
