Just two questions:

1. The TF 1717 (last one) you added is the group of Cpt \Walker?
2. JSGME popped a message sayintg that flag.dat and defcide.cfg will overwrite the same 2 files of Harbour Traffic 1.47. Is it OK to overwrite?

Thanks.

1) Yes.
2) Worry.

I don't know anything about HT, but I imagine it's using some version of the Nationality Mod. I removed some nations and replaced them with new named nations to fix the neutral convoy 'feature', so if HT uses any of those nations such that ships spawn under those flags, my guess is at the very least those ships will no longer have any flags.

If you end up with no flags, it probably isn't the end of the world. In fact, I think that will be the result, as you can add a new nation under the Roster and visit the museum and it will appear, but the ships will be flagless. So, you'll probably be safe insofar as you won't have a CTD. But, some ships will be missing traffic in some harbors out there in the world, somewhere.

I have a list of the nations I pruned, I think.

# Need

Greece 24 -> Croatia -> GreeceC
Netherland 24 -> Latvia -> NECnvy
Norway 24 -> Czechia -> NOConvy
Russia 16 -> Colombia -> RussianC
Sweden 24 -> Estonia -> SwedenC
American 16 -> RSI -> USA

So those nations are now gone. If you find the SCR has any of those nations, they now have no flags. (The middle entries on each line.)

Same deal with DefSide.cfg. Some of the nations HT defines don't exist in my mod -- probably all of them as missing -- this may be more serious, or the game might simply decide unlisted countries are neutral, friendly, or enemy based on some game default.

The worst case scenario with DefSides.cfg is you need to copy my additions into their DefSides.cfg and renumber so each has a unique number. May be necessary, may not. Depends on how often you come across odd, non-stock-game nations in harbors you visit frequently.



I guess the HT issues are something anyone wanting to include the latest IC in a larger mod would have to address. I always found excess harbor traffic to slow down my system, so I've never used anything that increases it. Whatever makes the game fun, though.
