Homebase = Null ?

[sturmer]

does anyone know an answer on this or has a similar problem?

I was based in St-Nazaire, when i saw that La Spezia was open for bussiness i changed base to La Spezia. i wanted to start a new patrol when the game loaded up i watched wich grid i should patrol there i found out that my homebase was an empty space, i went to the map to plot my course and i found myself in the Golf of Guinnea near Freetown and not in the Mediterenean.
im running GWX 2.0, any help would be appreciated.

It's a problem that sometimes arises, I don't know why. There are a few topics here about that problem, just try the searchengine. I would try to sail towards your base and dock there, it might solve the problem. Hope you resolve this problem my fellow Belgian.

Sturmer,
There are separate files for the La Spezia Mediterranean campaign. Did you load them?

[sturmer]

yes i loaded every file delivered with the mod in JGSME mod enabler.
im now trying to port in La Spezia in the hope it saves me there and lett me start from there on.

okay now it reads this in sh3 commander,
Next Patrol Grid : NULL,
Flotilla: 29th Flotilla, Error!.

anyone have an idea how this commes? i downloaded GWX_2.0_4_Sh3Cmdr again and installed it again but with no luck.

in JSGME mod enabler is everything enabled except GWX-Fix French and GWX-No medals on crew.

thnx for the time

When you say enabled everything GWX-Fix French and GWX-No medals on crew can you post a list ?

IIRC you start off Freetown as something has changed in the flotilla\LND files and the game doesnt know where to place you
Usually this is failure to rollback SH3commander then disabling\adding a mod
So you end up with a mix of files that dont match

[sturmer]

i activated the following mods of GWX 2.0:

GWX - 16km Atmosphere
GWX - Alternate Loadscreen - Full Circle
GWX - Black Sea Campaign Files Only
GWX - Alternative Flotillas
GWX - Captain America's Officer Icons
GWX - Enhanced Damage Effects
GWX - Integrated Orders
GWX - Late War Sensors Snorkel Antennas
GWX - Main Movie -'Das Boot'
GWX - VIIC41 Player Sub
GWX - Lite Harbore Traffic
GWX - Indian Ocean Campaign Files Only
GWX - English Nav Map and Grid Refs
GWX - Merged Campaign

the unactivated are the : GWX - Fixed French and GWX - No medals on crew.
i even downloaded GWX 2.0 cfg_4_Sh3Cmdr files and installed them.(after the issue)
i never used the roll back and i didnt add other mods.

Hi sturmer Welcome Aboard

When I have Merged Campain installed JSGME gave me a headsup that MC was already installed when I tried to install Black Sea or Med campain files.

Maybe thats the problem. You can't install all 3.


Wait for a GWX dev to answer this for sure before you proceed any further.

[sturmer]

ow never thought of that, i just thought it would overwrite some files so it could work all together.
i can try that, thanks anyways.

[sturmer]

hey Firewall thnx, it worked what u said.
i tried deactivating the black sea and the med campaign and it worked. so thanks,
and thanks to everyone that tried to help

Unless you are playing Oct 44 onwards you dont need the late war sensors enabled yet

Unless you are using a VIIC\41 you dont need that enabled

Alternative flotillas just gives you the 3rd flot at La Pallice so unless you plan on being in the 3rd no point in enabling

Lite Harbour traffic is for PCs at the low end that struggle in home ports

Black Sea files ONLY if you are playing in the Black Sea

Indian Ocean files ONLY if you are playing in the Indian Ocean

Merged Campaign INCLUDES the Indian Ocean AND Black Sea campaign files - hence MERGED



All the campaign files overwrote each other so only the last one worked anyway
If you are playing in the Atlantic\Med\Baltic\Arctic then you dont need to enable any of the campaign mods unless you need the lite harbour one

[sturmer]

oh ok, thnx for the advice and help.

ps: however sh3 commander keeps telling me this homebase: 29th Flotilla, error!. , i am starting in La Spezia and everything goes well.

If you are running GWX2 and SH3Cmdr displays "29th Flotilla", then your GWX2 installation has become corrupt: there is no "29th Flotilla" in GWX2, it is "23rd/29th Flotilla".

Either that or you are attempting to run a career that was started before you installed GWX2...if so, consult the GWX2 manual.

[sturmer]

all appears to be fine now, sh3cmd says my home base is now : 23rd/29Flotilla, Salamis.

so i guess my problem is fixed, right?

thnx everyone
