Campaign files by WB: questions

[fitzcarraldo]

@ WB and kaleuns, some questions:

1 - Is it possible to add the VonDos Titanic on the WB´s GWX Campaign for Wilhelmshaven, St Nazaire V6? I downloaded the WB Campaign; this files don´t include the Titanic because provoke CTD. Is it possible to add the Titanic and script in the campaign, post-apliccation of the WB Campaign files?

2 - Is Merchant Fleet Mod 3.2 compatible with WB´s Campaign files? The MFM don´t add a MIS file. I think MFM replaces ships of GWX. Or MFM needs scripting? (not included in the MFM mod).

3 - The Mikhail Maiale WB Campaign files are compatible with WB Wilhelmshaven for W, STN and Sch V6?

I like to add all the ships (MFM, Xtra ships, Titanic, Maiale, Q Ship, VonDos, etc) in my GWX merged campaign files...Now using MFM 3.2 and TMT, and Wilhelmshaven mod V5.

IIRC there were one or two ships conflicting with each other but it was so long ago I can't say which ones......why not PM WB?

Many thanks; I´ve sent a PM to WB about this thread.

What about MFM campaign files? The mod hasn´t a MIS file to replace. How those ships are added to GWX campaign? (In special, the Merged Campaign).

Best regards.

The issue lies with a compatibility problem of VonDos' RMS Titanic with my GWX campaign file mod on my system. I stress on my system because everyone's install is different and my computer suffers if I ask too much of it as it's quite old. I spent weeks chasing the compatibility issue and couldn't find out what was causing it. In hindsight, it may have just been my computer which couldn't cope with the additional ship and campaign file size. The only way to find out if it will work for you is to enable the mod. I recommend:
1. Enable RMS Titanic and check in the Museum. If you get a CTD there's a ship model problem or your install and you won't be able to use it.
2. If it works in the museum, don't add the .mis file but load up a game. If it CTDs then there's probably a compatibility issue between the Titanic (which can be randomly generated) and one of the other ships in your install.
3. If both of these work, try adding the campaign file.

2 - Is Merchant Fleet Mod 3.2 compatible with WB´s Campaign files? The MFM don´t add a MIS file. I think MFM replaces ships of GWX. Or MFM needs scripting? (not included in the MFM mod).
I don't use IABL's MFM because it is too system heavy for my computer to cope.

3 - The Mikhail Maiale WB Campaign files are compatible with WB Wilhelmshaven for W, STN and Sch V6?
It's working fine on my system.

If you have a decent enough computer and no compatibility issues you should be OK, but you may need to test, test and test to get them to work.

Bear in mind that no matter how original someone's ship model is they will have used something as a start point. Sometimes these are mentioned in the Readme (e.g. VonDos' SS Arandora Star is based upon SH4 Conte Verde) and sometimes not. Unfortunately this can lead to compatibility issues and the dreaded CTD.

What about MFM campaign files? The mod hasn´t a MIS file to replace. How those ships are added to GWX campaign? (In special, the Merged Campaign).

There's no need to script merchants - they'll turn up just fine in the _RND campaign layer.

Many many thanks, Wreford. :yeah:

I installed the Titanic and no issues in Museum and loading the game. But...what campaign file add? The Wilhelmshaven WB mod don´t include the Titanic. Can I install the "only" WB St. Nazaire mod - the Campaign file only (it´s includes the Titanic)? Works it with the Wilhelmshaven V6 mod?

Same with Maiale. The Campaign with Maiale is in a dedicated WB mod for the Maiale. If I install this mod, is it compatible with the others WB campaign mods? I think the campaign file of Maiale overwrites the WB Wilhelmshaven Campaign and "good bye" the Maiale. What is the way of "merging" the diverse campaign files? We need a tutorial; I know you are very clear and concise in your "tutorials"; it will be great a tutorial for this mysterious questions of scripting campaigns and layers and all those stuff:know:

Really I didn´t know about the merchant RND layer. Your note about that is a discover for me. Ever I´ve believed the new merchants added needs scripting in campaign...:damn:

Best regards!!! :yeah:
