Radio and war map mods?

[Blito]

Hey, I've just registered so first of all a big :up: to all of you. As a fact I've just started diving a week ago, and I'm still learning all the quirks, so bear with me :yep:
1. I remember reading somewhere about a mod that updated your land-map with some colour to reflect wich territories where held by the axis as the war progressed. Still I've been unable to find it, does anyone know about it?
2. I tried installing the Harbour Traffic mod (1.47) but it somehow messes up my current campain. Is there a way to install only the harbour traffic and radio updates alone (ie. without the rest of the package?)
3. Any hull skin mod for type ix (as the rusty type vii one)?

That's all; thanks and may you have a happy Christmas!

1. I remember reading somewhere about a mod that updated your land-map with some colour to reflect wich territories where held by the axis as the war progressed. Still I've been unable to find it, does anyone know about it?

That's for the loading screen; the mod is part of SH3 Commander. I'm not aware of a mod that does that for the in-game map - my guess is, because the in-game map is such a huge file.

But get SH3 Commander, it's good that way :D

2. I tried installing the Harbour Traffic mod (1.47) but it somehow messes up my current campain. Is there a way to install only the harbour traffic and radio updates alone (ie. without the rest of the package?)
IMPORTANT: Always save your campaign in port before installing any mods that change campaign files. Or load your earlier in-port save. In-game saves are invalidated.

Otherwise, since the port traffic is part of the campaign SCR layer and includes many new ships... you have to install the campaign files and ships for it to work.

Safest bet: save in port, apply the entire package.

3. Any hull skin mod for type ix (as the rusty type vii one)?

Search for fubar's excellent skins, he's made them for II, VII and IX boats. If you can't find em - I'll be glad to upload them to yousendit for you or something

Cheers and happy christmas

:up:

Thanks a lot CCIP, I've got the skins now and they rock :smug:
I was in port when I tried HT, and now that I removed it, my patrol grid is always AN31, and I only spend like a week between patrols (?)

You have patched the game up to 1.4b? HT is made to work with 1.4b and I don't think it will work with a unpatched game.

[Blito]

Yes I did. Anyway, the milk cow mod is what changed my in-between patrols time (fixed); and with the help of SH3 Commander I manually changed the designated patrol grid, now it's fixed too (it's random again).
I think the problem with HT is that it changes the 1st Flotilla to Kiel (made me start at 0.0, 0.0, west of africa), but when I started the next patrol I was already in Kiel and all went as normal. After all the work my computer can't handle it :( (only 512mb of ram). I'll have to try and upgrade.
Thanks for the help guys!
