Thanks for that BBW. AG? The game is patched to 1.4, so I guess it didn't update the editor then? Can you think of any way around that? Is there a way to update the editor only as I obviously don't want to mess around with the installation itself.

Forget that, AG. Wierdest thing needs a little explanation. Follow the story here, lol. A short while back I decided to go for GW so uninstalled SH3 completely. Re-installed, patched the game and then made a copy of the entire SH3 folder to another directory entirely. Then applied GW mod, plus some extra ship type etc. The "spare" version of SH3 was left entirely standard and has never actually been run. The shortcut in my START menu points to the editor in the GW modified version, and it is this editor that doesn't show the harbours. Right after posting this reply initially, I suddenly remembered the "standard" copy I had and decided to just try that editor - guess what, it has the harbours showing. Bearing in mind that it was a direct copy of the other editor, that just seems wierd. GW can't have altered the editor, surely? The other mods were mainly ships, NYGM Periscope mod, a skin for my Type VIIB and a few altered sound files. Any thoughts? (I'm happy though, I have my harbours - pointed my shortcut to the other editor)

DAMN IT! This is getting embarrassing! Ok, adenddum to the above. It now seems BOTH editors are ok, providing I double-click on their icon in the game folder itself. Attempting to run either of them from the Start Menu results in no harbours. This is getting silly. I've just rechecked again (prior to hitting "Save") and it's definately the case that running the editor from the Start Menu doesn't work - now that's wierd!!
