This usually happens when you open a GR2 file by double clicking on it, or when you open/merge a file containing a type of controller not recognized by Goblin Editor.

If you prefer funnel smoke for chimneys, you can use it as is, rather than hassling with the cloning and twekaing of a new effect. Just open the GR2 file that the said sim file is pointing to in Goblin, merge the sim file, merge particles.dat, look for the smoke controller in the sim file and replace explosion smoke with whatever you prefer.

I just figured how to have less chimney smoke . Give us a day to do it and it can be included in the next OH2 patch .

You mean for the Harbor mod? That will be nice!

When I removed this file, I ran validator and I get errors showing up. I can't verify the main mod is fine, I don't have version with the terrain folder, but I assume it's OK. Best thing is not to remove that terrain folder to fix chimney smoke.

reinstall mod (I'm sure this can be done from a bunker save game and not a carer restart)

thanks Sober

The smoke looks bad if I adjust it . Leave it as is or take it out . I don't like a lifeless harbor but its up to you if you want it in OH2 or not . It doesnt effect frame rates or cause ctds LOL .

It's OK sober, thanks for trying. I know sometimes these mods can be frustrating.

I remember this issue when making campaign MG and had to use sink objectives as patrol = no marker.

So far I have tried:-
forcing objective 9 (patrol) to object icon 0 (sink) = ctd
using hidden objectives and adding goto (reach) as an update to objective = too much work
testing icons in menu editor = all look ok (C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Menu\Gui\StrategicMap.dds) all icons set correctly

So as things stand - I may have to return all patrol objectives back to sink objectives

Anyone got any suggestion

These days I experimented with ME2 and missions.
In ME2 we have 11 Obj types:
Obj=0-Destroy Units class; Obj=1-Reach zone; Obj=2-Sink tonnage; Obj=3-Generic; Obj=4-Base stop; Obj=5-Sink speciefic; Obj=6-Intercept convoy; Obj=7-Photo recon; Obj=8-Lifeguard duty; Obj=9-Patrol Area; Obj=10-Special operations.
In the bunker, map marker is shown on map for all types (naturally, other than Obj=2-4).
In the mission, map marker is shown only for these: Obj=0, Obj=1, Obj=5, Obj=7, Obj=10.
In the Ubisoft's original missions used only these types:
Obj=5-Sink speciefic (Sink and Intercept convoy missions-not Obj=6!)
Obj=7-Photo recon (Recon missions)
Obj=10-Special operations (Infiltrate spy and Infiltrate commando missions)
I think the reason in the SimData.dll, anyway Obj in it. Maybe the reason of non-functional minefields also here?

By the way, in OH2 Black_May's missions also is not shown a map marker (Obj=9).

To use the MQK - I would need to add it to OHII and then edit all missions with:-

New trigger, event for message to tell player where to go
A template could be used to speed this up but the actual co-ordinates will have to be looked up. That is three per mission with about 20 to 40 missions per campaign - all in all over a months work

Some day perhaps....

For now I think I must go back to the sink mission - sorry

If during a patrol in the "Captain's Log" click an icon "Mission objectives", the center of the zone will be in the center of the screen, you can put a mark manually. Radius will inform, large deviations will not be. It may even be good for mod Real Navigation? Many are trying to remove from the game different icons (UMark, etc.), what's problem is here?

Using OH2.4
Left Memel and sunk 2 polish merchants . Sailed to Kiel and entered port . Left Kiel and sailed to british east coast . No ctds at all .

When you have time could you create test campaign for "Black Pit" with few airplanes which will wait for me in the "red" area, 200 km from Brest, on cours 220. Pl;anes could be P-47, P-51 and B-17...""

Any chance for this Trev ?
After some messing up with my latest modlist I'm getting pretty good results regarding previously mentioned museum/p-47 test mission CTD, even with RPM hydro on board. I'm pretty much sure that test campaign wont cause CTD.

Eve of the battle[edit]

The Polish Navy of the Second Polish Republic (1919–39) was prepared mostly as means of supporting naval communications with France in case of a war with the Soviet Union. However, after it became apparent that the aggressive side would be Germany, and the entrance to the Baltic Sea would be blocked, three out of four Polish modern destroyers were withdrawn from the Baltic Sea to Great Britain in what was called Operation Peking. The remaining forces, consisting of one large minelayer, one destroyer, five submarines and smaller vessels were to execute two major naval operations, both aimed at disrupting the German naval movement in the area of the Danzig Bay and transit movement between Germany and East Prussia. All submarines were dispatched for their operational zones in the southern Baltic to take part in Operation Worek, an attempt to sink as many German ships as possible.
Battle[edit]

All the remaining surface vessels were to be dispatched from the naval base in Gdynia to Hel Peninsula, from where they were to start the so-called Operation Rurka. The plan was to lay a naval mine barrier between Hel Peninsula and Danzig to prevent any enemy ship from entering the area.
At dusk ten Polish warships left Gdynia for Hel, located on the other side of the bay. There, the ships were to start the minelaying operation. Among them were the destroyer ORP Wicher, large minelayer Gryf, minelaying minesweepers Jaskółka, Czapla, Żuraw, Czajka, Rybitwa and Mewa and gunboats Komendant Piłsudski and Generał Haller.
While traversing the Danzig Bay, the flotilla was attacked by a group of 33 German warplanes, mostly Junkers Ju 87B Stuka dive bombers. The air raid was mostly unsuccessful and the Polish vessels suffered only minor losses. The backbone of the Polish flotilla, ORP Gryf with over 300 naval mines on board, remained unharmed.
However, soon after the first air raid was repelled, the German bombers returned, around 6 pm. There were no direct hits, but the Polish ships suffered minor damage from close misses and machine gun fire, mainly minelayer ORP Gryf and minesweeper ORP Mewa. The commanding officer of ORP Gryf, Cmdr. Stefan Kwiatkowski was killed by German machine gun fire, and her rudder was jammed. Her executive officer, Lt. Cmdr. Wiktor Łomidze feared that her cargo of mines (comprising over 33 tonnes of high explosives) was a danger to the ship and if it was hit by a bomb, it would explode immediately. Because of that, he ordered all the mines to be disposed of in the sea.
After the battle[edit]

After successful defence against several consecutive air raids, the Polish flotilla arrived at Hel. However, since ORP Gryf had abandoned all of its mines and was damaged, the Operation Rurka had to be called off. The only destroyer, ORP Wicher, did not receive the orders calling off the operation and went straight to the pre-designed zone of operations to cover the mine-layers. At night, Wicher, commanded by Lt. Cdr. Stefan de Walden, spotted two German destroyers, and later a ship misidentified as a light cruiser, but did not attack, not wanting to uncover the operation.
After return to Hel Peninsula, both major vessels were there deprived of most of equipment and served as anti-aircraft platforms in the Hel naval base.
