First a
BIG thanks to Bigboywooly for pointing me in the right direction & merging the 2 files for me, I did try to load into SH3Editor but just comes up with the same error, also haven't tried in the game yet as I was caught in the middle of trying something else.

I'm starting to get the drift of things & added things to the scr layer such as the canals & Helgoland that now show in SH3Editor as such:

However in the game only the basic map is shown:

Is this because the LND layer has to be modded, or some other problem, a little more guidence needed please!
Thanks and you are not hijacking the thread Seminole, what your discussing is basically the same things I would like to see, I tried the Living SH3 but wow it took 15 minutes in real time hitting the TC key to get out of town!

However the map detail was fantastic!

EDIT: Tried to load GW layers (scr & lnd) but SH3 editor just errors again! odd that the HT147 & GW (based on HT147) cause the editor to to close! Is there a later version editor or has anyone got an idea why these wont load?
Also Just tried the War Ace campaign & that one is good, & the canals etc are all there however the traffic is rather heavy again. I don't have a copy of Word Bigboywooly so I haven't printed your quick quide to adding ships to scr but have given to my wife & she is getting it printed there so I should have that tonight, then I can really mess things up!!! Hee Hee.
