GWX 3 - WB News Network
 

WB News Network will keep you informed of historical events and order you to take part in historical missions scripted into GWX 3.0.

Content:
WBNN consists of two parts:
1. Mission Orders. As you patrol you will receive messages ordering you to take part in missions scripted into GWX 3.0. This is available in English, French and German.
2. Warning Orders. On your loading screen you will receive Warning Orders of impending operations and news of recent events. This is currently only available in English but if you're interested in translating into French or German then PM me.

Translation Team:
Barbac - translated the French version of GWX 2.1 Mission Orders.
Alex - translated the GWX 3 Mission Orders messages.
Sans Barbac et Alex ce mod ne serait pas possible en francais. Merci Beaucoup mes amis.
Rango - translated the German version of GWX 2.1 Mission Orders.
mrchris - kindly volunteered his mother-in-law to translate for GWX 3. This makes him a much braver man than I am!
Ohne Rango diesen mod wäre nicht möglich auf Deutsch. Vielen dank Meine Freunde.

I would be grateful if someone could also create this thread in the German and French forums.

[REL] Churruca destroyer and campaign
 

Welcome to the Churruca mod by AH_Thor and Wreford-Brown.

The Churruca class were destroyers built for the Spanish Navy based on a British design. Sixteen ships were built, two of them sold to Argentina. The Spanish Navy played an important role in WW2 that has generally been forgotten due to their neutrality. Spain supported German U-boats in neutral harbours, creating a safe haven from where they could refuel and refit before going back into battle. The heavy cruiser SPS Canarias also assisted the search for survivors from the sinking of the Bismarck. It is time for Spain to take its place in GWX.

This mod contains AH_Thor's Churruca mod plus campaign files adjusted by Wreford-Brown to include the Churruca in the GWX 3.0 campaign.

This mod must only be placed on GWX 3.0. Detailed installation instructi0ons are included in the Readme.

Credits:
The GWX Team - created GWX 3.0 which is the base for the campaign side of this mod.
bigboywooly - made this mod possible by updating the original GWX 3.0 campaign files to amend some minor errors and giving us permission to amend them to support AH_Thor's Churruca ship. He also pointed AH_Thor in the right direction to put the final corrections into the Churruca destroyer model.
JScones - Created the outstanding JSGME and we've blatantly plagiarised his detailed installation instructions.

Permissions:
GWX 3 campaign files remain property of the GWX team and permission must be sought from them for its use.
Churruca ship model remains the property of AH_Thor and permission must be sought from him for its use.

History:
v1.1 - Churruca_SCR file included to allow custom campaign installs.

In memoriam:
The soldiers, sailors and airmen who fought, and fight, for our freedom. Lest we forget...

Great stuff thanks very much WB:up:

XXI 1939
 

This mod will make a type XXI U-boat available from the start of the war with a mixture of TIII and TIX torpedoes.

Credits:
JScones has deciphered the grid code in flotilla.cfg which has allowed patrol grids to be allocated to the XXI. I spent two months banging my head against a brick wall trying (and failing), by trial and error, to allocate patrol grids. JScones has allowed this mod to be complete.
evan82 - found a number of conflicts that I missed. Thank you.

History:
BETA 1.1 - Adjusted the basic.cfg file based on evan82's help.
BETA 1.2 - Adjusted the flotilla.cfg file based on JScones advice and guidance.
BETA 1.3 - Added some missing patrol grids.
BETA 1.4 - Adjusted Readme and increased days in base in line with IX.
BETA 1.5 - Adjusted basic.cfg file based on evan82's advice.
v1.0 - This release.

Nice work :yep::up:

Thank you - it's been a team effort with JScones and evan82 and has proven that pooling knowledge on these forums really works.

There were a number of big problems that we managed to solve, especially the patrol grids and the radar and RWR destroyed issues.

As far as I'm aware these have been problems since stock and the radar/RWR destroyed has only ever been fixed by the GWX Late War Sensors mod.

Hello WB
wanted to ask.. the Lehmann radionews will be updated to GWX 3.0 or it is in some way included in WB News Network mod?
Thanks!

Lehmann radio news is already part of GWX 3.0.

It's also included in WBNN so using either GWX 3.0 or WBNN wil give you the messages.

Campaign files for VonDos' ships
 

With VonDos' kind permission, WB offers you campaign files for VonDos' ships.

The following ships are included:
RM Aquila
RMS Aquitania
RM Caio Duilio
HS Dnepr
RMS Empress of Britain
RHN Georgios Averof (ship model only)
HS Gradisca
RMS Laconia
SS Normandie
RMS Queen Elizabeth
RMS Queen Mary
SS Rex
RM San Giorgio
HMS Warspite
USS West Point

There are two versions of JSGME enabled files, one for those using GWX 3.0 and another for those using GWX 3.0 + bbw's St Naz and Schleuse mod. Please ensure you use the correct version.

For those who use other mods or supermods the individual _SCR files plus a consolidated _SCR file are included. I would love for someone to take this mod further and create a version for the other supermods that are available or for vanilla SH3.

VonDos' ships will appear on their historical routes. The exception is the RMS Titanic which is not included as she sank long before WW2. Anyone who wishes to see her sailing her historic route can use the separate Titanic_SCR file in "documentation" and merge it with the campaign_SCR file. Just in case, there are backup campaign_SCR files in "documentation".

Installation:
The correct order for installation is:
1. "St Naz + Schleuse" (if you are using it)
2. "Community Units" (if you are using it)
3. This mod

How to install:
1. Use JSGME to uninstall ALL mods.
2. Enable "St Naz + Schleuse" mod if you are using it.
3. Enable "Community Units" if you are using it.
4. Extract "VonDos' ships + WBs campaign files" into JSGME MODS and install.
5. You will get warning messages about "GWX 3 - St Naz and Schleuse" and "Community Units" if you are using them. Ignore these error messages and continue to enable the mod.
6. Re-enable any other mods that you want to use.

PLEASE ensure you download the correct version and please read the Readme as it contains important information.

Conflicts:
The JSGME mods are only compatible with GWX 3.0 as this is the campaign used as the base file.

Credits:
VonDos - Without his expanding shipyard there would be far fewer ships for us to sink. The level of detail that he puts into his models is stunning and this mod puts his excellent creations into the scripted campaign. Thank you for allowing me to include your ships in this mod to make it fully JSGME compatible.
The GWX Team - Created GWX Gold on which this mod is based. Thank you.
bbw - The campaign writing master. Thank you for your advice and support.
irish1958 - chief tester, put up with a lot of errors in the Betas and has the patience of a saint!

Permissions:
Feel free to use any of the _SCR files contained in "documentation" in your own non-commercial mods - just please give me credit.
All ship models remain the property of VonDos - permission needs to be sought from him to use the ships.
The base campaign file remains the property of GWX - permission needs to be sought from them to use the base campaign file.

Finally, this mod must remain a BETA as I am away for RL for a number of months and will be unable to offer support - sorry.

These files can be downloaded from BTS-MODS, just click on the green BTS icon in my sig. They will also later be available from my FF page.

Good to see you were able to release it in time....good luck and stay safe mate http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Spectemur Agendo

I've been away for a while but am now back and able to offer support for my mods again.

Are there any adjustments, tweaks or fixes that I need to work on now I'm back?

The Mod with the Von Dos Ships seems to cause me CTDs with GWX 3.0

Well it bloody well serves you right for not making any reference to the fact whilst he was away :o

:DL

I've posted it up on my compatability installation for GWX3.0 often enough :hmmm:

I think I've PMed him at some point. Nevertheless now that he is back mabye we can see if it is me that have the problem or it is a generic one with the mod.

Rgr that, there's a stable version here if needed, but probably dependant on what else you've already got installed. :up:

Very true Jim. I believe i had a problem with a Ctd the same as Mel stated.

Thanks for that Jim. I'll PM you later on to get instructions on how to install this in comparison with your installation. I'll probably try it again during the weekend.
