[WIP] Naval Operations

[Cybermat47]

This is a mod that will add naval operations into the game. The ships will leave port at the correct time and date, and (hopefully) clash with the enemy on the right date as well.

OPERATIONS
Kriegsmarine
Operation: Cerberus: Scharnorst, Gneisenau and Prinz Eugen sail through the English Channel to bases in Norway.
Britain
Operation: Catechism: RAF bombers sink the Tirpitz in Tromsø fjord.
Operation Catapult: The Royal Navy scuttles the French Fleet at Mers-el-Kébir (Will require Expanded Navies (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=198422) or MTNS (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=183101&highlight=MTNS)).

CREDITS
Cybermat47 (Design, development)
GT182 (Beta tester)

Changelog
V.0.0.01 (upcoming): Operation Cerberus.

Would anybody be nice enough to model the port at Tromsø for Operation: Catechism? Thanks.

Cyber, is this for Historical Missions or the sim's Campaign?

The campaign.

I figured that, seeing as it's WWII, it would be good if the Naval Forces of the world were, in some cases, proactive, not just reactive. When you think about it, all the battles in the game are triggered by merchant shipping getting close to an airbase, or a AI U-boat accidentally stumbling upon a Convoy.

I'm running OHII light, but if you could make Naval Operations compatible with OHII full, that would be greatly appreciated.

have you seen this post

So Operation Rheinubüng is already a part of OHII? Great!


Also, how can I set up Operation Cerberus the way you set up Operation Rheinubüng? 'Cos I just realised I have no idea what I'm doing! :doh:

BTW guys, I'm only going to be able to work on this during the weekend, because I've got to go to school :/\\!!

I cannot wait for this to be released.:D

[GT182]

Weekends are ok. School is more important so study hard. Then goof off on weekends and do your thing for Operation Cerberus. ;) :salute:

I've got a bit of a problem here, guys. Whenever I try to open the Traffic.mis of Operation_Drumbeat to edit it, this comes up: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at MissionEditor2.MissionEditorForm.FileOpen(String filename)
at MissionEditor2.MissionEditorForm..ctor(String[] args)
at MissionEditor2.Program.Main(String[] args)

Any ideas? :06: Because if I can't fix this, I won't be able to make the mod! :/\\!! :dead:
