Add Ships to harbor

[indy]

Hi Guys
I would like to add ships to my harbor,in the mission Edit. Can some one please tell me how to do this? I need to see the harbor to place the ships right where I would like them to be.I would like to have tugs and ships running in and out. I know the game will do this but i would like to add more to my missions.I understand this has been post before, but can't find the post. Thanks Indy

I assume you know how to use the mission editor? You can create harbor traffic 2 ways:

1. Edit and existing file,,if you choose not to do this you should at least look at the harbor traffic missions to see what is already there. (You didn't mention if you were putting in US of Japanese harbors)

2. Create a new file and after you save it, add it to the Campaign.cfg so the game will load it. You can copy and existing entry and change the filename to your new mission and set the dates. Keep in mind some bases change hands during the war.

To see the docks to place ships, start by creating a new mission OR loading an existing one. Then from the File menu choose "Merge..." and open the Campaign.LOC file. A window will open DO NOT CHECK THE BOX THAT SAYS "Mark merged data as saveable".

If you put a checkmark in the box, when you save your mission it will also save another copy of the docks, so you will have two files with docks in the same location. So, leave the box unchecked and it will save your ships but will not save the merged file (which is the docks and villages)
