Propbeanie et al, sorry for the late reply, I fell unexpectedly ill last week.
Clearly I've done something seriously wrong with my install! It's strange, I haven't noticed at any problems with my install of the mod at all as far as functionality goes, so I figured all was working as intended, but no:
I went to Guadalcanal and the place was dead! I spent over a week there and didn't see a single ship, friend or foe. Thinking maybe it was just bad luck, I checked the campaign files in the mission editor. There's almost nothing there! No random or scripted traffic anywhere near the Solomons at all, neither allied, axis, nor neutral. I found a single campaign layer that sent two scripted groups of small warships through the area but that's all. Now, I've spent a lot of time customizing the campaign layers for SH3, but I've no prior experience in SH4, so it's possible I wasn't looking in the right place, but I did check such files as "jap merchants A" and "B," likewise for convoys, troopships, task forces, etc, on both sides. None of those layers had any traffic in the area.
Far be it from me to assume I can't install something wrong, but I'm just flabbergasted. I thought I installed FOTRSU and everything I've seen in the game until now seems to be in line with what the mod includes, yet somehow I'm working with vanilla's (?) campaign files. Guess I'll have to do a full reinstall? Would it be any trouble for someone to send me the campaign files on their own for me to compare to what I've got?
Thanks in advance all. Never a dull moment in learning to mod these games I guess.
