NEW LORIENT

[Alfred Keitzer]

Now with support for LSH3-2015 CAREER mode


Having seen endless videos and photos of the real Keramon bunkers at Lorient, I just couldn’t take the trek to and from Lorient any more. So, using a limited set of tools (Silent 3ditor, SH3MissionEditor, pencil and paper), I … (a) trimmed down the base to just that section that includes the bunkers; (b) raised two bunkers and paved the ground and made them land-based like the real Lorient bunkers Keroman I and II; (c) transposed the U-Boat under construction and all the people from the deleted section of old Lorient to the area in between the land-based bunkers; (d) moved the base to it’s more accurate location near the entrance of Lorient harbor; (e) moved the bunker AA guns, searchlights, a few ships and a green buoy to the new Lorient location; (f) moved the U-Boat departure point to be Pen K20 of Keramon III; and (g) scripted the escort to come up the Lorient main channel as your U-Boat is departing.

New Lorient v1.5

(All Inclusive Download)

All issues through Post #109 of this thread are addressed in this release.


I have made NINE variants of New Lorient -- all nine are included as separate MODs in the 7z file (~6 MB). You can pull out and install whichever versions you want or need …


New Lorient v1 – SH3 v1.4b Standard Missions – for the stock version of Silent Hunter III. Note that the stock version of SH3 is very plain and does not include the escort, ships, channel buoy, or outer harbor lighthouses found in other super-mods.
New Lorient v1 – GWX3 Standard Missions – runs with the "default" campaign missions files of GWX3.
New Lorient v1 – GWX3 Merged Campaign – runs with the "Merged Campaign" mission files of GWX3.
New Lorient v1 – GWX3+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V6 – runs with GWX3 standard campaign mission files with "GWX 3 Wilhelmshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V6" installed.
New Lorient v1 – GWX3+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V7 – runs with GWX3 standard campaign mission files with "GWX 3 Wilhelmshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V7" installed. *
New Lorient v1 – GWX3 Merged Campaign+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V6 – runs with GWX3 Merged Campaign mission files with "GWX 3 Wilhelmshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V6" installed.
New Lorient v1 – GWX3 Merged Campaign+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V7 – runs with GWX3 Merged Campaign mission files with "GWX 3 Wilhelmshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V7" installed. *
New Lorient v1 – NYGM 3.6F – runs with NYGM 3.6F and most optional Mods except "Harbor Traffic Add-In" and "Mediterranean Campaign Only"
New Lorient v1 – LSH3-2015_BunkerStart – New Lorient base plus all the functionality of "_LSH3-2015_BunkerStart". For CAREER mode only; does NOT support MultiMission_NoCareer and SingleMission_NoCareer.

* NOTE: Running with GWX 3 Wilhelmshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V7 also requires WAC4.1 SubPen_animated_18.02.2010 installed. DO NOT INSTALL Aces' Super Pens v4 GWX Version or you will lose the Lorient bunkers again (see documentation).


Files Utilized in this MOD:

-- data\MissionEditor\Locations\HB_Lorient.tga -- updated the 2D base footprint shown on maps in SH3MissionEditor.
-- data\Terrain\Locations\Lorient.tga -- updated the 2D base footprint shown on maps in SH3.
-- data\Terrain\Locations\Lorient.dat -- redefined the base in terms of its individual components. Eliminated that portion of base unrelated the Lorient bunkers (about half the base). Elevated land-based bunkers and laid foundation under them. Move U-Boat under construction and people to between land-based bunkers.
-- data\Terrain\Locations.cfg -- changed the location of Lorient base, city and industry.
-- data\Campaigns\Campaign\Campaign_LND.mis -- this file includes a marker that determines where the U-Boat actually departs from; moved and heading change.
-- data\Campaigns\Campaign\Campaign_RND.mis -- NOT CHANGED but retained for compatibility with other mission files.
-- data\Campaigns\Campaign\Campaign_SCR.mis -- repositioned the AA guns and searchlights that sit on top of the bunkers; moved some static U-Boats and ships; moved some anchored ships out of the way for the new base; and moved one of the Green channel buoys from further east to mark the center of the channel for departures and returns at night; move start point for escorts closer to new base for U-Boat departures.

Nothing fancy or frilly here. No bands or waving people to see you off in the bunker – they are all over in the Rail Transport Yard celebrating Oktoberfest (unless you are using GWX 3 Wilhemshafen..V7 with Aces' animated sub pens) – but it sure beats the old Lorient base.

Behind the base looking South. Yup, that's the entrance to Lorient harbor right in front of the base.

Moved the town and industrial center of old Lorient to the new; added a few more ships; and it's open for business.

That must have been quite a workload. Thanks a lot. :salute:

I've visited Trondheim and seen the old U-boat bunkers and the harbour area, and it is really an experience to sail from Trondheim in the game and get the same kind of feeling about the environment as in real life. Hopefully I get to visit Lorient one day.

I'm playing NYGM, and time's limited right now, but I'm hoping I'll get this edited in as soon as possible.

He tried but, something to do with a change made at St. Nazaire in v7, caused the subpen walls/roof to not show up at Lorient. We are not talented enough to figure out what it is and fix it.:oops:

[Fubar2Niner]

@HW3

Thanks for the confirmation mate.. I have read v.7 is problematic for most. For some insane reason it works fine here. Guess I'll have to stick with v.7 or revert to v.6 and use this fine mod.

@ Fubar2Niner

Well, no guarantees, but you can try installing "New Lorient v1 - GWX3+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V6" on top of V7 and see what happens.

I tried it, but I still lose the bunker walls and roofs at Lorient.

Also tried "New Lorient v1 - GWX3 Merged Campaign" on top of Wilhelmshaven..V7 with same results.

[Alfred Keitzer]

For those who use other variants of GWX or use other super-mods like NYGM or LSH3, I have created MERGE files that only include the changes to Lorient. As soon as the "How To" documentation is ready, I will get this uploaded here.

Cheers!

[Alfred Keitzer]

I have now combined all four versions of New Lorient into one package - New_Lorient_v1.2.7z -- see first port.

Also my apologies to all. Over at WolvesAtWar, where I roam, we do not use the point or awards system built into SHIII; we use our own system. As a consequence, we set the "Starting Renown" in the "flotilla.cfg" file to 25,000 to insure all Captains have the renown they need to acquire equipment and weapons as authorized (including U-Boat upgrades). Unfortunately, this "Starting Renown" made its way into my original release. In this version 1.2, I have set the "Starting Renown" in the "flotilla.cfg" file to 1500, which assumes you have gone through the SHIII Academy at least once in your life.

[sublynx]

NYGM version, great!

[pedalboat]

Installed New Lorient on stock SH3 1.4b and I must say that it works like a charm.
Thank you.
Any chance that we'll see the other ports as well?

[Alfred Keitzer]

NYGM version, great!

I do note that NYGM 3.4 and 3.6F moved the harbor all the way outside Lorient, which wasn't a bad approximation. I could put a version together for NYGM 3.4 or 3.6F pretty quick. Question is, which version? -- probably 3.6F.

The main goal was to get Lorient looking more like the real thing and moved to a more realistic location. Not sure what "other ports" you are talking about. :06:

Hi AK,

Sorry I'm late in getting back, ok here it is.... Using v1 over Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V7, works like a charm, without the need for Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V6. However I now have no locks in Kiel. I know it doesn't make sense, any thoughts mate. I will try your new package meantime.

Best regards.

There is something strange about V7 with things disappearing. Don't have a clue.

[pedalboat]

Alfred, I mean Wilhelmshaven, Kiel, Brest, St. Nazaire, Bergen, La Spezia, Toulon, Bordeaux, Flensburg (as far as stock SH3 is concerned)

[Alfred Keitzer]

Alfred, I mean Wilhelmshaven, Kiel, Brest, St. Nazaire, Bergen, La Spezia, Toulon, Bordeaux, Flensburg (as far as stock SH3 is concerned)

No intent to change any of these; sorry.

[Alfred Keitzer]

I do note that NYGM 3.6F moved the existing Lorient base to the shoreline of the harbor; however, I have gone ahead and added a version of "New Lorient -- NYGM 3.6F" to the package -- now version 1.3 -- see first post.

The only optional NYGM Mods I see that are not compatible with New Lorient are "Harbor Traffic Add-In" (although most of this seems to be already integrated into 3.6F) and "NYGM3.3 Mediterranean Campaign Only". Most other NYGM Mods appear to be compatible.

[Fubar2Niner]

@Alfred

Just tried your new package, unfortunately I keep getting a corrupt download error. I have tried re d/l several times and using both 7-Zip and WinRAR to extract/test the file. Any chance you could re up the file please mate?

So I guess there are some out there that use the Wilhelmshafen..V7 version that do not get missing bunkers at Lorient. For those, I sent Fubar2Niner a version of "New Lorient v1 - GWX3 Merged Campaign+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V7". If all looks good I will add it to the list.

[Alfred Keitzer]

Uh-oh. Spoke too soon. I seem to be getting a lot of this ...


Overlapping ships I see -- actually duplicates of the same ship(s). Good catch Sailor Steve! Okay, I have a fix for that ...

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have already started a patrol from Lorient using "New Lorient v1 - GWX3 Merged Campaign+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V7", do NOT implement this fix until AFTER you complete your patrol and return to Lorient. Otherwise, your current patrol SAVE files will not properly load.

Here is a quick fix to the overlapping ship problem. Download ...

http://prussianempire.com/Merged_V7_Campaign_SCR.7z (http://prussianempire.com/Merged_V7_Campaign_SCR.7z)

... and drop the enclosed "Campaign_SCR.mis" file into your MODS directory at ...

"..\MODS\New Lorient v1 - GWX3 Merged Campaign+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V7\data\Campaigns\Cam paign" -- overwrite the old file.


When your U-Boats are safely in port, use JSGME to remove and reinstall "New Lorient v1 - GWX3 Merged Campaign+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V7".


NOTE: I have also applied the fix to the complete "New_Lorient_v1_GWX3_Merged_Wilhelmshafen_V7" download.

[Fubar2Niner]

Just tried the new fix. It seems to have done the job. No double boats at all.

Thanks, AK, for a great mod and for taking the time to investigate and fix problems. You're a pro. :sunny:

[Alfred Keitzer]

This may have already been discovered, but something a little odd about "GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V7".

NOTE THIS IS NOT USING SH3 Commander ...

If you start a new campaign at 1st U-Flotilla in Kiel in 1939 or 1940, start a patrol and immediately exit the patrol, it will ask "Dock at: Kiel" and everything is fine.

If you start a new campaign at 1st U-Flotilla in Kiel in 1941, start a patrol and immediately exit the patrol, it will ask "Dock at: Moltenort". If you exit and go to the Briefing Room, you can do noting -- like you are at a foreign port. Start a second patrol, the assigned patrol area is NULL, and if you start anyway, you will find your U-Boat beached on land across the harbor at Kiel.:arrgh!:

This is GWX with just "GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V7" installed -- nothing else.

[Sailor Steve]

Yep. I just tested it WITH Commander and got exactly the same result.

I'm now debating tearing out my entire game again and starting over with Wilhelmshaven v6.

[HW3]

Just a guess but, a problem in the flottilla.cfg file maybe?:hmmm:

[Sailor Steve]

I hope so, because that sounds easy to fix. I have no idea how that stuff works. Maybe it's time I learned. :sunny:

[Fubar2Niner]

This may sound silly...... but..... Will this happen if any other mods are enabled ? Reason I'm asking is, it's possible but prolly unlikely that someone will only use Wilms, etc v.7. What do you chaps think ?. I'm still at work but when I get home (time dependant) I'll launch a career at the problematic time and port/flotilla mentioned.

Best regards.

Well, I was making a "New Lorient v1 - GWX3+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V7" for folks who do not use Merged Campaign when I fell upon this issue. I started with ...

GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V7
WAC4.1 SubPen_animated_18.02.2010
New Lorient v1 - GWX3+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V7

... when I fell upon this. So I started removing other things until I was down to just ...

GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V7

... and still seeing the same issue in 1941.

/AK

[Sailor Steve]

I just created a whole new SH3 setup and tested several permutations of the same problem.

GWX alone: no problem

Wilhelmshaven v6: no problem

Wilhelmshaven v7: problem.

I'm hoping there's some fix for this out there, because v7 is much more accurate, at least where Kiel is concerned. I'll go back to v6 if I have to, but I'd really rather not.

Yes, I saw the same results. Of course, Kiel changed between V6 and V7, so not surprised the problem is limited to V7.

I am going to continue investigating this.

I am also going to post the issue on the V7 thread to see if anyone else has seen and/or solved this problem.

Just got in from work, unforunately no time to test tonight. Will hopefully get time tomorrow evening. I'm sure this problem will get nailed chaps, keep the faith as they say ;) :salute:

[Sailor Steve]

I am going to continue investigating this.
Very much appreciated by those of us not quite so savvy in the modding skills department.

Just out of curiosity, how did you happen to stumble on this in the first place? Kiel in 1941 doesn't seem like something one would happen upon casually. :-?

Just by chance, my friend ... just by chance.

I knew Fubar2Niner had issues with Kiel when originally using "New Lorient...Merged...V7". As I was creating a New Lorient for V7 with the GWX Standard Campaign files, I just wanted to confirm Kiel was still good. Picked new career at 1st U-Flotilla in 1941 just at random and things mushroomed from there.

Now I do notice that the Laboe Memorial and Moltenort Memorial are both designated "German Naval Bases" in the Campaign_LND.mis file, but this is true of both the V6 and V7 versions, and we don't see the issue in V6.

So the investigation continues ...

/AK

[Alfred Keitzer]

I might be getting closer to a solution. My understand is this new Keil base came from LSH3, and I think there are residual effects from LSH3 data that got merged into the V7 Campaign files that is causing this to happen in GWX.

/AK

[Sailor Steve]

Picked new career at 1st U-Flotilla in 1941 just at random and things mushroomed from there.
Wow! I love it when serendipity strikes like that. Someone like me might have been playing for years and then suddenly had this come up and bite him. :dead:

[Alfred Keitzer]

I CAN FIX THIS !!!

Turns out the problem is when whoever added the new Kiel to GWX 3 Wilhemshafen … V7 from LSH3, they introduced a new departure point from Kiel. Up until 31-DEC-1940, you departed next to the U-Boat Tender. Beginning 01-JAN-1941, LSH3 players departed from a different part of the base located east across the bay from the Moltenort Memorial that LSH3 calls Kiel_2.

PROBLEM IS … GWX knows nothing about Kiel_2. That, combined with the Laboe and Moltenort Memorials having location tags of “German Naval Base” (completely unnecessary) in the Campaign_LND.mis file, and after 31-DEC-1940, SH3 just got confused where to start Kiel and picked the closest German Naval Base it could find, which turned out to be the Moltenort Memorial tag.

SO I CAN FIX THIS, BUT …

I am not going to attempt to add Kiel_2 to GWX3 – there are too many variables and variants of GWX3 out there to try.

I am not going to try and fix GWX 3 Wilhemshafen … V7 for the same reason.

What I will do is apply this fix to all versions of “New Lorient” using “Wilhelmshafen. … V7”. I will remove the location tag references to Kiel_2, Laboe and Moltenort, and extend the location tag for Kiel to the end of the war instead of 31-DEC-1940. This means you will always depart from the U-Boat Tender whenever you depart from the new Kiel in Wilhemshafen … V7.

Hope this is good enough.:hmmm:

Cheers!

[Sailor Steve]

Works for me! :rock:

Beginning 01-JAN-1941, LSH3 players departed from a different part of the base located east across the bay from the Moltenort Memorial that LSH3 calls Kiel_2.
I believe that would be Holtenau. The reason I like v7 so much is that Holtenau is located in the proper place. All other versions have it jammed right up next to the locks. Every time I look at a map of Kiel I grind my teeth over that.

[HW3]

Sounds good to me too. :up:

[Alfred Keitzer]

Okay, this fixes the "GWX 3 Wilhemshafen...V7" issue with Kiel in 1941 and beyond. This is a complete new update of "New Lorient v1 - GWX3 Merged Campaign+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_v7".


IMPORTANT NOTE: As before, do not implement this MOD unless ALL your U-Boats are back from patrol and in port.


First, if "New Lorient v1 - GWX3 Merged Campaign+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_v7" is installed, remove with JSGME

Second, DELETE your current "New Lorient v1 - GWX3 Merged Campaign+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_v7" from your SH3 MODs folder.

Next, DOWNLOAD the new version of "New Lorient v1 - GWX3 Merged Campaign+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_v7" ...

Download here or from Post #1: http://prussianempire.com/New_Lorient_v1_GWX3_Merged_Wilhelmshafen_V7.7z (http://prussianempire.com/New_Lorient_v1_GWX3_Merged_Wilhelmshafen_V7.7z)

DROP the contents of this 7z file into your SH3 MODs folder.

Finally, ADD "New Lorient v1 - GWX3 Merged Campaign+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_v7" back into SH3 using JSGME.


>>> Remember, the required minimums and order of installation for this MOD is ...



Prerequisite: GWX3 installed
Add MOD "GWX3 Merged Campaign" using JSGME
Add MOD "GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V7” using JSGME
Add MOD "WAC4.1 SubPen_animated_18.02.2010" using JSGME {necessary to fix missing bunkers in V7}
Add MOD "New Lorient v1 - GWX3 Merged Campaign+Wilhelmshafen_et_al_V7" using JSGME

[Alfred Keitzer]

@AK

Just started a new career. Kiel '39, 1st Flot. All looks great, one small prob tho mate. This one is a mind blower. The pre-plotted courses through the canal no longer seem to work. Now when I try to plot out the canal it kind of heads in the correct general direction but is way off. Any clues mate?

@Steve are you getting this ?

Will try dump the res-fix again to gain some screenies.

I think I saw something on this somewhere. :timeout:

In some prior mod updates, you had to invoke the KIEL KANAL outbound before you moved. In V7, you have to plot your own course to the entry point -- similar to returning from patrol and using the KIEL KANAL. Make your last navigation point as close to the entry point as you can -- then invoke KIEL KANAL. Works for me.

This has nothing to do with the New Lorient upgrade.

[Fubar2Niner]

Yep correct AK this is the way I have always plotted using v7. Manual plot to the lock, negotiate lock, manual plot to the point just before bridge (sorry chaps, tired and names have completely eluded me). Then hit the pre plot as is usual, but now something is sqwiffy ??

Pics may explain a thousand words mate;

Plot 2

What you think mate ?

All the best.

Fubar

[Alfred Keitzer]

When you say manual, do you mean you are just free navigating to the point without plotting a course to it.

If so, try that. Plot a course to the start point before you get to the start point. Once course is plotted, and before you get to it, invoke KIEL OUT.

[Sailor Steve]

@Steve are you getting this ?
No, and I never will. I don't use the Kiel autopilot. I'm one of those rare idiots who considers the Canal as it is now to be a fun part of the trip, not a necessity to be overcome. I lay my course a few miles at a time and use some TC, but come out of it at every bend just to look at the scenery. :sunny:

I recall one player a long time ago saying that he considered the Canal to be too slow, so he would just travel around Denmark. In real life that was the long way around. In the game, not so much.

[Fubar2Niner]

Sorry mate, to clarify. Manualy plotting a course from the nav map, to the lock, and beyond to the bridge waypoint (for the want of a better reference).

Then either invoking Kiel In, or, Kiel Out, gives the results pictured :hmmm:

Fubar

P.S

Can't revert back to your previous files to double check this, because like a numbnutz I bloody deleted them :/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!

Sorry Alfred :oops:

[Sailor Steve]

Standard GWX says you should always turn the Canal route ON before even starting your engines. I don't know if that works with v7 or not.

[Fubar2Niner]

@Steve

Never had any success that way shipmate. However plotting up to the bridge w/p worked fine.

Haha, yes I was a plot my own course thru the kanal types. However it did get kind of tiresome, and so, I fell into the trap :oops: It was working fine.. but now, well? No biggie tho. It's a pain but a pain I can suffer to get Lorient looking like it should with v.7 :yep:

Nothing fancy or frilly here. No bands or waving people to see you off in the bunker – they are all over in the Rail Transport Yard celebrating Oktoberfest (unless you are using GWX 3 Wilhemshafen..V7 with Aces' animated sub pens) – but it sure beats the old Lorient base.

This would be the Merged Campaign version. I have run this in my WAW campaign for several patrols, and it worked fine for me.

I understand I do not need the yellow files now with your Mod install but then I need The WAC animated pens so if I'm correct I install yours instead
of the yellow Mods and then animated pens and then the USAM part 2 ???


ok with this load order it works

However my U-boat its not departing from the pens but from the right side of the pens...now I do not know what to do...:hmmm:


Another small detail that I've found out ..there are no pens ...

The GWX - Merged Campaign is not needed as it is included in the Combi mod. The WAC4.1 SubPen_animated_18.02.2010 mod will want to overwrite 2 harbor files, let it. It should get you the pens back.

I will work on one for GWX 3 Wilhelmshaven,St Naz, Schluese and xtra ships V6 and post the link here when I get it done.

My Starting point is there in the far canal by the two cargo ships not inside the pens

Will need advise on this cause I have no idea on what is the issue here ! Maybe the WAC animated pens has incomplete file packed and for that reason do not show the pens or in your file you missed something matey...but the only time the pens do not show up is with your Mod compilation installed !

The only time I can have the Pens installed is with a Mod called GWX - ModPack April2010 (Harbor) or Aces' Super Pens v4 GWX3 Version

Have no idea what is wrong here...:hmmm:

[Anvar1061]

Which version of New Lorient includes this pack? Standard, merged campaign, for Wilhelmshaven campaign?

JCWolf;

Oh you are in Kiel, there are no pens in Kiel. You are starting next to a sub tender. BBW explains that in his documentation (Changelog) for GWX 3 Wilhelmshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V7.

Moved Uboat starting position to a tender - historically in Kiel they would have left either from the victualling depot ( not ingame ) or a depot ship.

[Alfred Keitzer]

Yes, keep in mind that NEW LORIENT only changes the look, location and orientation of Lorient Harbor. Other harbor changes are the result of the other MODs included in "Dave's GWX3 Combination Mod".

Cheers!

How ignorant can one be ???:D

Sorry for not telling uou from start My base location...:D

[Sailor Steve]

:rotfl2:

Sorry, I should have recognized your screen shots as well. Not only are there no pens in Kiel, but wait until you make the trip through the Canal. Be sure to stop and take a look every time the chart shows a bridge over the Canal. You're in for a treat. :sunny:


Oh, and take care going through the locks at each end.

It is 269.55MB in size. Just noticed I misspelled Documentation on the master Documentation folder.:oops:

[HW3]

I agree Steve!!! It is worth the time to look around as you travel the canal. If you mistime the gates on the locks, your chief will be very mad at you.:03::D

[Anvar1061]

Don´t know if new Lorient is possible because of the new sub pens I made.
Have to look!
But.. nevertheless I already reworked Lorient harbour and the terrains of most important sub harbours in WAC 3.0

Awesome Anvar1061! Thanks mate

[Kapitän]

Hi Guys,

I'm running CCoM10 and installed the following:

CCoM_CaptainsChoiceOfMods_Release_10_0_BASIS_EC
Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)
CCoM_CaptainsChoiceOfMods_Update_Bunker-Start_100
New Lorient v1 - LSH3-2015_BunkerStart

I'm starting the game without SH3-Cmdr, just to test it. The game starts and I can select a career in base etc., but the game won't load a game save in base (breaks off after about half way of the red bar).

I also tried to it without installing "CCoM_CaptainsChoiceOfMods_Update_Bunker-Start_100"
but it doesn't work either.

Now, what I have also done is, to rename some bases in the Campaign_LND file, according to the "Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)". I have done this, in order to dock there just to refuel (e.g., as a last "Pit Stop" on the outbound journey, before heading for the Atlantic), without loosing my installed torpedoes, e.g., from "Bergen" to "U-Bergen".

I don't know, if the refueling etc., actually works but I was able to load a game save in base that way, with the new names appearing, e.g., "U-Bergen".

If any of you can give me some help, I would much appreciate it!

[Kapitän]

Hi All,

Up until now, I haven't been able to figure out, how to install the "New Lorient" in CCoM10. Oh, well ...

However, I did manage to convert Uboat bases in Norway to "Pit Stops", by adding the letters "U-" in front of the base name, in the Campaign-LND file, e.g., from "Bergen" to "U-Bergen",acc. to the "h.sie"-patch.

Now, I can stop there and top-off my fuel on the way to the Atlantic, just as one can at a Uboat supply ship or "Milkcow", only now, without losing my torpedoes load-out from the home base in Germany ...

[Alfred Keitzer]

Changes to the Scripted and Land mission files are necessary in order to move a base and U-Boat start position. If the mission files of New Lorient are incompatible with the mission files of your mod, then the program will not work and may actually crash. Unfortunately, there is no version of New Lorient for CCoM at this time. Furthermore, CCoM10 is no longer available as it has been replaced with CCoM12.

[Fubar2Niner]

@Alfred Keitzer

Woah !!

Welcome back mate, not seen you in an age.... Thinkin on it I have been somewhat absent myself. I hope things are well with you shipmate :salute:

Best regards.
