U-84 · 04-04-08, 06:15 PM

I have a problem with empty harbors..any harbor i try to get into no matter how much work i put into it, the harbor turns out empty...is it because i've been spotted before i made it into the harbor or what?...kind of lost hrere:hmm:

Yes it is because you've been spotted. There is a fisherman near the lighthouse. When he spots your periscope he signals the harbour, and all ships immediatly take off before you can arrive.

how come i don't see the ships rush out?

But more seriously...
Stock SHIII has near empty harbours, I think the GWX mega super mod populates harbours with many ships.

What's that one harbor off the west coast of Africa? The name fails me but what I remember from playing stock SH3 was that it was as dead as a ghost town, so I said to hell with it and went steaming back towards my base when all a sudden this DE came out of the middle of nowhere and blew me up

What mods are you using?

Get GWX and enjoy the harbor 'eye candy'.

I just edit my campaign_SCR files since GWX acts up on my PC. Making Dover a real treasure trove of cargo ships.

All you ever will need is GWX.

And Brags book.

i haven't put on any mods...everytime i try to install 1.4b patch it says i have a mission engine.dll: unknown version...do i need to uninstall and reinstall hte game ?

If you want to try GWX, click on my sig and follow the installation instructions to the letter.

Just one small variation....use your game disc to uninstall the game and don't forget to delete the SH3 folder in C/MyDocs

You probaly have SH3 that is 1.4b version. No need to update.
Just install GWX 2.0 and there you go.

Sounds like you have a conflict with a previous residual file....could mean a new installation is required :hmm:
