[TEC] How to change spawn point?

[Niume]

Hello how do you change spawn point when you start patrol? I tried moving the base icons in mission editor campaing_LND but I spawn in long 00 and lat 00 which is Africa coast

So I reverted changes made in mission editor. Then I changed the flottila.cfg.
Didn't worked.

Any ideas?

[itadriver]

I do not change any .cfg files.
I open LND and move the icon (just the blue one).

[Niume]

So I moved the blue icon but then I load it up still in the dock

[itadriver]

Try to give it a first point and set "heading to point".

Do you have mod acrtivated by Jsgme that modify lnd file? Do you know that you have to deactivate the mod, modify the lnd file and reactivate the mod?

[Niume]

you mean like that?

[itadriver]

Yes.

Don't delete, and just move Brest harbour in Campaign_LND.mis, no need to edit Flotilla.cfg

If you're talking about the point where your submarine generates as you start a campaign, then wouldn't this be it?

you have to find the flotilla you're going to edit (I have no idea what the file structure in SH3 is). The numbers that La vache highlighted there in that file are what are seen in the info bar at the bottom of the Mission Editor window. You can't have it full-screen if you've got a Windows toolbar down there and see them, but make the ME window a bit smaller, and in the lower-left of the screen, you'll see the numbers change as you move your mouse around on the screen. Find the spot you want the boat to generate at, and change them to match in the file. I'd build a JSGME mod so that you can back out of an potential mistakes - not that ~I've~ ever blown my game up with an edit...
