I am don't undestand much with campaign files, but if some who nows how to edit them accurately could remove doubles from GWX campaign returning capital ships to be used by classes insted of separate units to reduce CPU and memery use for adding new ships and planes?

Hi Hunter,

use SH3 MissionEditor to edit campaign files. It's part of SH3 -> RTFM ;)

Cheers,

The ships are scripted separately so that they follow their historic routes. If capital ships were scripted by class instead of name, you could see the Hood, Warspite or Rodney rather than seeing the right ship at the right time.

It is clear, but concidering that those ships don't have historicaly accurate models it would be enough to have a ship from a proper class in proper place and time, and more resources for additional warshipsand and merchants.

We may have to agree to disagree on this one as I believe that VonDos' ships are exceptionally accurate.

Any ship that has been accurately modelled in GWX is already included in the base campaign file, so the Bismarck will appear when you expect the Bismarck to appear etc. The GWX team went to a huge amount of time and effort to research historical campaigns and ship movements and script them into the mod. All I'm doing is adding VonDos' ships to the already superb campaign.

Unfortunately, longer load times are the price you have to pay for an historically accurate campaign.

I thought we were all good but then... CTD Hell!

The mod is working great with everything except the last two ships, SS Esperia and HS Dnepr.

Load with just GWX - no problems
Load with all ships enabled - no problems.
Load with all campaign files - CTD
Load with campaign files for all ships except above two - no problems.
Load just campaign file for HS Dnepr (no GWX campaign) - no problems.
Load just campaign file for SS Esperia - no problems.
Load with either campaign file merged - CTD.

There seems to be a conflict between the campaigns for HS Dnepr, SS Esperia and the GWX campaign file. I've even rewritten the Dnepr campaign to ensure it's not a ship selection issue and it still CTD'd.

I'll be spending the weekend fault finding, watch this space!

Just found this thread. Just wanted to say keep up the good work WB!

I'll be installing after the bugs are worked out, AND I get GWX3 reinstalled.:up:

Task Force 11-06-09 03:24 PM
