STATEMENT:
This mods changes some features of GWX thus resulting in unexpected errors, which may be the fault of my modifications! Please consult me with the infomation of time and grid coordinates for me to investigate, and don't consult the GWX team members, when using my mods!
I have added all files necessary for this to work with GWX! If you have troubles whatsoever, ask the question either in ubisoft forum or subsim forum, because if I may not be able to answer the question, then somebody else can perhaps! But I'll do my best!
This mod is to be installed with JSGME, and it must be mid-patrol!
I would like to thank these people for making this mod possible:
TigerKatziTatzi (making Helgoland and improved Kieler Kanal)
HanSolo78 (for extra 3D harbours)
I have based my mod on their work, thus my World Map would have been less big a mod as it is now!
Now, what do you get by this mod?
You get a World Map which is much more ALIVE!!!
It will basically be much more green/blue/red all over the map (F5), and the progress of war will show, as the cities change colour
according to conquests. This is basically very much the issue in Europe and Far East, but also in Africa! It has many more harbours in 3D. Just zoom in at different places around the world, and you'll see! However, I have not added traffic to this mod, random or scripted, but I have edited the scripted campaign file a little. If not, some ships would have crashed into the
harbour facilities. Please take care when going through the Kieler Kanal: Three new harbours in beginning, midway and in the end!
Technical note: For the campaign_LND from GWX, I have removed double entries of cities, which I had allready written myself! Cities from original GWX LND, which I hadn't in my previous beta release, are still there! Everything else from original GWX LND file is still there! I removed everything from my previous version but the naval bases! Only place, I have added costal defence is at Helgoland! For the campaign_SCR: I haven't removed or added anything! The only thing, I originally changed, was to move traffic, the ships waypoints, so that they didn't crash into harbours or Helgoland, which isn't in original GWX!
After being notified about follow-up errors of my first edit of DefSide.cfg, I have edited RND and SCR to correct entry and exit dates for ships from Turkey.
I have added China as country, and I have modified the DefSide.cfg to suit my history book!

EDIT:
I discovered a small error, which is simple to solve! Get the file, unpack it and copy the content into the Roster folder of this mod! I noticed that GWX had removed Czechia and Slovakia and added Mexico and Croatia at their places among other glitches!

EDIT2:
The problems about some Turkish ships don't exit with this hotfix! Please disable original mod from game and copy this together with first hotfix, and then reenable it mid-patrol!!!
