Lane,
The HT1.45 is a big update for version 1.44 (you need to download and install HT1.44 first and then download and install HT1.45). Yes, this is a stand alone version, you don't need other mod to run with it.
NZ_Wanderer,
The ships/escorts go aground if you save and later reload the game while in the harbours. This is a SH3 big fault. Take a look on the readme file.
Gammel,
That patrol craft (schnellboots) is not in the mod, they are in the stock SH3 1.4b SCR...but I will take a look.
For the future of the mod I will tell you some words. In the last days I made more traffic in other harbours and increase the docked warships and ships in Wilhelmshaven and Kiel because they had been very important shipyards for Germany. And I intend to still add more traffic for other ports.
The Ops mod will be in the next Rub release (very soon) and without the Harbour Traffic Mod. After a few chats with the Ops team I realise that is better to make a compatible version of traffic mod for OPs/Rub 1.43 (if you guys want it!) what I intend to release in few days after they arrive. The SCR layer of Ops don't have traffic in ports (at least in this first release) but it comes with a single escort ship in each harbour.
Let's awaiting how the things are going in the next days. I think that still much more will come for SH3. Perhaps a merge SCR layer with Ops and the traffic mod...
Thank you guys!
Rubini.
