GWX Single Mission: HMS Warspite at Narvik

[Jimbuna]

Now that we have an HMS Warspite (courtesy of Von Dos) and as a result of requests for the inclusion of HMS Warspite in Narvik, I have scripted a Single Mission for GWX2.1. (I always have the Merged Campaign JSGME enabled on my own installation).

I've chosen the Single Mission route to alleviate the need for people to adjust the Merged Campaign file (a sure recipe for disaster for many I suspect).

When scripting a mission into the SH3 world everything already scripted in the Campaign is resident as well.

With this in mind.....(the two Narvik actions being already resident in the Campaign) would obviously mean a certain level of duplication and obvious potential conflicts as a consequence.

The eagle eyed amongst you will obviously notice that I have therefore put the historical date forward by exactly one year to avoid conflicts with the huge amount of scripting work already carried out by BBW.

When you come to the mission loading screen all you have to do is set the IXB U-boat date back from 1941 to 1940.

Unpack the file into:

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWX2.1\data\SingleMissions\English

....and enjoy

Ahoi

I found easy to replace the Warspite where should be

Look in SCR
All entries names as Warspite are there with other ships

[Group 353]
GroupName=2nd Narvik Battle Br
CommandUnitName=HMS Warspite
Category=0
RandStartRadius=0.000000
DeleteOnLastWaypoint=true
EvolveFromEntryDate=true

[Group 353.Unit 1]
Name=HMS Warspite
Class=BBNelson

Other named

[Group 380.Unit 2]
Name=HMS Warspite

[Group 382.Unit 10]
Name=HMS Warspite

[Group 383.Unit 2]
Name=HMS Warspite

[Group 384.Unit 2]
Name=HMS Warspite

Then swop Class=BB****for Class=BBWarspite

I am use Title=GWXR2.1FULL+AOTDMaxs_ships+Iambecomes AA ships
Not merged but came with bugfix plus

Jimbuna,

This is good stuff...this is something I'm wanting to start to tinker with. Thank you for this mod

[Metus]

I did the same as you Zerstören,
it is apparently a very fast and easy way to replace ship types.
Anyone knows if there is any downside, I dont see atm, in doing so?

[Jimbuna]

Your very welcome guys

@Metus.....There should be no downside. In fact zerstoren has altered his Campaign_Scr (I realise I said Merged earlier...my typo ) in an identical fashion to my own.

What I have given consideration to is the fact that not everybody has the knowledge/ability/confidence to do likewise on this forum.

Look through the threads and you will find a wide range of capabilities and abilities, from those who aren't able to unpack files into then enable JSGME to those who can hex edit.

We are a broad church here.

A couple of other factors taken into consideration were:

In the original Single Mission your boat started on the surface. There is a flight of Swordfish scripted in which will attack you if they spot you instead of the (IMO) intended target, namely the destroyers near Narvik.

I have adjusted the U-boat to start the mission at PD and beefed up the number of planes a little.

The big positive here is the fact that players now have more choices:

1) They can leave well alone and play the campaign and mission as released.

2) They can load the adjusted/new mission and leave the Campaign_Scr alone.

3) They can adjust the Campaign_Scr if they feel confident.

A win win situation all round.

SINK EM ALL!!

Thanks for that, jimmy.

BTW is there any need for a german version/translation of this single mission?
If so - I'll offer it if jimbuna give permission...

Cheers,
