Homebase = Null ?

[sturmer]

does anyone know an answer on this or has a similar problem?

I was based in St-Nazaire, when i saw that La Spezia was open for bussiness i changed base to La Spezia. i wanted to start a new patrol when the game loaded up i watched wich grid i should patrol there i found out that my homebase was an empty space, i went to the map to plot my course and i found myself in the Golf of Guinnea near Freetown and not in the Mediterenean.
im running GWX 2.0, any help would be appreciated.

It's a problem that sometimes arises, I don't know why. There are a few topics here about that problem, just try the searchengine. I would try to sail towards your base and dock there, it might solve the problem. Hope you resolve this problem my fellow Belgian.

Sturmer,
There are separate files for the La Spezia Mediterranean campaign. Did you load them?

[sturmer]

yes i loaded every file delivered with the mod in JGSME mod enabler.
im now trying to port in La Spezia in the hope it saves me there and lett me start from there on.

okay now it reads this in sh3 commander,
Next Patrol Grid : NULL,
Flotilla: 29th Flotilla, Error!.

anyone have an idea how this commes? i downloaded GWX_2.0_4_Sh3Cmdr again and installed it again but with no luck.

in JSGME mod enabler is everything enabled except GWX-Fix French and GWX-No medals on crew.

thnx for the time
grtz sturmer

When you say enabled everything GWX-Fix French and GWX-No medals on crew can you post a list ?

IIRC you start off Freetown as something has changed in the flotilla\LND files and the game doesnt know where to place you
Usually this is failure to rollback SH3commander then disabling\adding a mod
So you end up with a mix of files that dont match

[sturmer]

i activated the following mods of GWX 2.0:

GWX - 16km Atmosphere
GWX - Alternate Loadscreen - Full Circle
GWX - Black Sea Campaign Files Only
GWX - Alternative Flotillas
GWX - Captain America's Officer Icons
GWX - Enhanced Damage Effects
GWX - Integrated Orders
GWX - Late War Sensors Snorkel Antennas
GWX - Main Movie -'Das Boot'
GWX - VIIC41 Player Sub
GWX - Lite Harbore Traffic
GWX - Indian Ocean Campaign Files Only
GWX - English Nav Map and Grid Refs
GWX - Merged Campaign

the unactivated are the : GWX - Fixed French and GWX - No medals on crew.
i even downloaded GWX 2.0 cfg_4_Sh3Cmdr files and installed them.(after the issue)
i never used the roll back and i didnt add other mods.

Hi sturmer Welcome Aboard

When I have Merged Campain installed JSGME gave me a headsup that MC was already installed when I tried to install Black Sea or Med campain files.

Maybe thats the problem. You can't install all 3.


Wait for a GWX dev to answer this for sure before you proceed any further.

[sturmer]

ow never thought of that, i just thought it would overwrite some files so it could work all together.
i can try that, thanks anyways.

grtz sturmer

[sturmer]

hey Firewall thnx, it worked what u said.
i tried deactivating the black sea and the med campaign and it worked. so thanks,
and thanks to everyone that tried to help

Unless you are playing Oct 44 onwards you dont need the late war sensors enabled yet

Unless you are using a VIIC\41 you dont need that enabled

Alternative flotillas just gives you the 3rd flot at La Pallice so unless you plan on being in the 3rd no point in enabling

Lite Harbour traffic is for PCs at the low end that struggle in home ports

Black Sea files ONLY if you are playing in the Black Sea

Indian Ocean files ONLY if you are playing in the Indian Ocean

Merged Campaign INCLUDES the Indian Ocean AND Black Sea campaign files - hence MERGED

:doh:

All the campaign files overwrote each other so only the last one worked anyway
If you are playing in the Atlantic\Med\Baltic\Arctic then you dont need to enable any of the campaign mods unless you need the lite harbour one

[sturmer]

oh ok, thnx for the advice and help.

If you are running GWX2 and SH3Cmdr displays "29th Flotilla", then your GWX2 installation has become corrupt: there is no "29th Flotilla" in GWX2, it is "23rd/29th Flotilla".

Either that or you are attempting to run a career that was started before you installed GWX2...if so, consult the GWX2 manual.

[sturmer]

all appears to be fine now, sh3cmd says my home base is now : 23rd/29Flotilla, Salamis.

so i guess my problem is fixed, right?

thnx everyone

k i was wrong about the statements i made, i went back for a good hunt with the idea that everything was back in order like it should be.
but i loaded my game started a patrol just to see tht my startbase and homebase were still blank.
so i decided to get a clean install, so i uninstalled gwx2.0 and sh3 (with sh3cmd).
i reinstalled both again and i wanted to setup a new carreer, typed in a name, choose the date so that i could take La Spezia all went fine in sh3cmd it says 23rd/29th Flotilla. i started the game like with a new carreer i choose the same dates and flotilla. i started a patrol just to see those blanks again and when the loading was done i was again in the Golf of Guinea, near Freetown.
what could it be?
the activated mods are : 16km atmosphere, alternative flotillas(just for trying it out), integrated orders, enhanced damage effects, officers icons.

grtz sturmer
sorry to bug everyone with this

[bigboywooly]

Did you rollback SH3commander before uninstalling ?
Delete ALL residual files from both SH3 and Commander
Without rolling back before uninstalling I guess you are just reloading the same mixed files after reinstall

[Jimbuna]

If I were you I'd go to the GWX website http://gwx.mysite.orange.co.uk/ and follow the installation instructions to the letter.
Remember to use the game disk to uninstall SH3 http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

[sturmer]

okay i tried the rollback, uninstalled and reinstalled everything and it works like it should be right now.

thanks for the patience on this one guys.
