New mission far from home?
 

Hello captains!:salute:
Now I have two choices, one of them are probably more correct.
I`m on a mission all the way to east coast of South Africa and the mission is finished so now the long way back home. But on the trip south I got five or six messages that my flotilla should go to west-coast of Madagascar for refuelling and repairs by a ship and move on to the arabian sea for patrol.
What happens with my current mission if I do so? and my map only have the grid-pattern in the Atlantic. Have some of you done this before?

:Kaleun_Cheers:

Ok, this depends... on what are you working with, exactly.

And... by working with, meaning, are you rolling with stock, virgin SH3 set up... some mods, added into the mix, or running a mega mix set up.

A look at your mod mix, via opening up jsgme (assuming that you 'are' running it to activate mods & have NOT injected them free based into your SH3 folder, directly... that is. :hmmm:)


To share the list, should you indeed be running jsgme, is simply... opening it up, clicking on "tasks" dead center top choice, in the sub-menu that'll pop up, selecting "Import to... & choosing 'clipboard' option in the next pop up menu that shows after highlighting "import to".


This, will allow you to then... paste that activated mods list here... in a reply post back.



From there... depends on the mix if you're running with... for example, GWX or 1 of the derivatives of it... like OneAlex's GWX Reworx, or ToyotaGT86's version... :hmmm: just to name some off the top of My head. :shucks:



After geting a look at what, you're rolling with, will help in being able to sort this out.


And... remember for future reference.... the more info you provide, makes a BIG world of difference.... & sometimes, a lot quicker solution, at times. :yep:

It's not a Stock GWX 3. That much I can tell.

GWX - Alternative Flotillas
GWX - Enhanced Damage Effects
GWX - Captain America's Officer Icons
GWX - Alternate Loadscreen - Full Circle
GWX - Main movie - 'Das Boot'
GWX - 16km Atmosphere
GWX - Open Hatch Mod

I`m running GWX 3.0 wolfpack

I see its a mod not activated named "indian ocean only"
will everything else disappear?

U-boats from the 10th that are at sea must refuel off the Madagascar east coast and then patrol the Arabian Sea in preparation for transfer to Penang. All urgent repairs to be carried out when refuelling.

is that the message?

After taking a look at OneAlex's mix, I did see that there was indeed... "GWX - Indian Ocean Campaign Files Only", think it is labeled that same way... BUT... can neither confirm, nor refute this... since I don't have stock GWX set up currently... to know for certain.


That said... would imagine that, that similar mod pack, would in all likelihood... would need to be activated... BUT, what steps to take in the proper order... am not sure of, as with My careers, I've kept them to being stationed in the Atlantic, only. :hmmm:


Will observe the answer/s back on this... as I have thought of attempting to do a career, where a Kaleun gets assigned to operate out in the Pacific area of the war. :hmmm:


On this, am going to back out & let more... experienced hands, prevail... here. :shucks:


All the best, in getting this further sorted out, for you to a safe & happy conclusion. :up:

"Ship Brake is at Madagascar east coast. All U-boats from the 10th that are at sea must refuel at Brake and then patrol the Arabian sea in preparation for transfer to penang. All urgent repairs to be carried out when refuelling. Bdu"

thats it. so "Brake" is a ship?

Yup. :yep:


Weird way, for it to be 'described'... but that, would indeed be the case.


U-brake or was that Ubrake... :hmmm: I believe, was the version of that, for the milche cows... aka Uboats, assigned to refuel/resupply/repair duties... in place of merchant ships doing so. :shucks:

tried to load up the campaign with the mod indian ocean now but its crashing on finished loading..:hmmm:
Maybe because its in the middle of the mission?

Brake was a resupply Ship. Not a U-Boot.
As it was just a message for immersion purposes?
You can just blow it off and ignore it.
I think anyway. I'll have to check other files to be certian.

Yeah I should lump the long way back to lorient..
Would have been pretty cool to take my brand spanking new IXC for a real adventure on its maiden voyage tho :D
well well..

Brake will be in the area.
But again. You don't need to follow up and HOPE to make the connection.

If you decide to go for a Meeting? Once docked with the Brake?
I think that's when you activate the Indian Ocean Campaign.

It's probably in the GWX 3 Manual but like others?
I didn't RTFM.
:haha:

true that, Brake is nowhere to be seen on the map, but in the middle of the ocean a bit more to the east is "Charlotte Schliemann". I can make it there, but I have no clue what happens after contact there. probably just a mission to go back to Lorient :o

Oh? without the mod "Indian ocean campaign only"?

Players must enable the ―GWX Indian Ocean Campaign Files Only‖ option before starting a patrol from Penang, Jakarta, or any other Asian U-boat base if the player intends to end the patrol in Asian waters, as this option includes a workaround that allows players to win renown by patrolling their assigned Indian Ocean or Pacific Ocean patrol area. Players should disable this option just before starting a mission where they intend to travel to Europe.

:wah::wah:

You could try the Merged Campain.
