GWX 3 mission orders
 

Hey fellas
I think I messed something up by installing WB's Mission Order v1.3 mod. Well, at the start of my 2nd patrol for the 7/13th flotilla I kept getting nonstop messages about base being changed to Kiel right at port. Then another message stating base has been changed to Konigsberg. This cycle went on till I quit and started a new career.
I removed the Mission Order mod and started fresh with the 2nd flotilla. Before my 2nd patrol I noticed the mission order screen was still that of the WB's Mission Order v1.3 mod. Surprising because I had just removed the mod. So I should be seeing the GWX mission order screen, right?
So I started another career with the 7/13th flotilla. Patrolled my grid till the 5th august 1939, then returned to port. While at sea I received a message instructing all boats from the 7/13th flotilla to return to base and transfer to either the 1st or 2nd flotilla. So I return and transfer to the 1st flotilla. Date is august 8th 1939. I start my second patrol and I find myself starting around Africa (?!) :-? Btw, when I loaded the game prior to my patrol I got a notification that my base was changed to Kiel.
Anyway, I return to base and start my 3rd patrol, this time my boat starts at Kiel.
Now, my 4th patrol, starting date's 24th september, 1939, and I am still looking at GWX orders for the month of august. Here's a screenshot.

The present date is 24th September, 1939. Seems something's stuck. I mean, shouldn't I be getting new orders for September? The war has begun. :-? Dunno what's wrong. Please help!

I think orders change only after a month. And those messages you were getting are from GWX iirc.

So it will keep showing orders for August all throughout September? Should I take it as normal? And why did one of my patrols start in Africa?
Thanks for your input.

1. Those are the only orders you should ever recieve via that pre-mission readout. The rest are overviews of the previous month.

2. No, it shouldn't stay the same. The one for September should talk about what happened in August - Hitler guarantees neutrality for several countries, 14 u-boats are sent to the North Atlantic on the 19th, The Poles allegedly attack the radio station at Gliewitz - things like that.

Later months should contain events of the previous month, plus Allied tonnage sunk vs u-boats lost for that month.

It sounds like you have a corrupted 'messages_en' file.

I use WB's mission orders lite mod so excuse me if I refer to that:

Install the above via JSGME

Create a new career commencing Aug 38 with 7/13 Flotilla out of Konigsberg.

If you are using SH3 Commander set the number of days between patrols to 15 or 21

At 23:30 on 4th you will receive an order calling you back to Konigsberg and instructing you to apply for a transfer to 1st or 2nd Flotilla

Hit Esc key and teleport back

At the commencement of your second patrol in whichever flotilla you chose to transfer to you will have a start date of 19th or 25th Aug (depending on how many days in port between patrols you selected).

This gives you time to transit to your assigned grid prior to the commencement of hostilities as happened in RL.

*In RL the departure date was 19th August but I am aware that some people (myself included) prefer a start date of the 25th because that is still sufficient time and your less likely to be kicking your heels ingame waiting for the fireworks to begin*

Thanks jimbuna that helped. :D The message problem has been solved. However, I have one confusion. Please check this screen, is this how the normal GWX order screen looks like? I have a feeling it's from the mod WB's Mission Order 1.3 and somehow has stayed even after unsinstallation of that mod.
