STATEMENT:
This mod is an unofficial, unsanctioned add on mod for GWX made by Carotio, GWX Team does not endorse the use of it!
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!

Bug fixes, since version 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2
Docking at Kiel again possible
auto-waypoints at Kiel fixed
wrong traffic caused by DefSide.cfg fixed
wrong ship assignments in data\Roster fixed

**********************************
I would like to thank these people for making this mod possible:
Entire GWX Team (who made the original files of Campaign traffic and Terrain such as Kieler/Panema Kanal, Scapa Flow)
TigerKatziTatzi (making Helgoland and improved Kieler Kanal)
HanSolo78 (for extra 3D harbours)
DivingDuck (upgraded flag files on my request, original work made by GWX Team)

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.

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 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! I have added a little extra traffic!
After being notified about follow-up errors of my 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 plus reinserted Czechia and Slovakia, and I have added Uruguay as an extra last refuge possiblity by providing Uruguay as an axis after May 12th 1945. I have corrected the dates for Turkey and Italy!

Thus I have modified the DefSide.cfg to suit my history book!

In documentation folder, I provide facts for my statement of correct dates for Italy and Turkey!

I have also edited the auto-waypoints for ingoing and outgoing u-boat trafficing to and from Kiel, so you won't have to do it manually every time yourself!
