Default Trying to give mission grids to XXI

I've got a fully functional XXI mod that lets it be used from 1939 but I've been unable to get GWX to issue mission grids, despite having it in every flotilla and having adjusted every SH3 and SH3 Cmdr file that I can find (albeit without touching anything except .cfg files).

I know there are a number of people using their own XXI mods out there - can one of you point me in the right direction as the only way I can currently issue a mission grid is through SH3 Cmdr before every mission and I'd like it to be done automatically.

Default Type XXI

Hi do you have any plans to release this mod? I tried to run the XXI in 1939 but ran into too many problems and gave up. Would love to have it!

Easy! Although having said that, I think I'm prolly the only person that knows the (deceptively simple) logic behind SH3 grid allocation (well, maybe two others, but I told them ).

I cracked it when I was on the GWX team and was in the process of updating Flotilla.cfg when I left the team, thus never bothered finishing it. If I had, you would be guaranteed appropriate grids based on your sub type and flotilla, and by default it would have fixed the problem you are having.

Send me an email - that will give me time to refresh my memory.

BTW, tmk all XXI implementations available through Subsim neglect to mention what's required to get allocated grids.

Jaesen,

Thank you for the offer - I've uploaded the mod in its current state to my other FF page. I think you have the address from the help you've given me on other mods. If not, please PM or let me know the best way to contact you.

I will release it but only when I'm happy with it. I've run into a small brick wall at the moment - the mod works fine but needs a little tweaking until I'll be happy. JScones has kindly agreed to point me in the right direction (once again!).
