Mission Help Request [10.000 topics read]

5n4fu1 · 04-22-14, 06:47 PM

Thank you!

Might be the lite version indeed.. I sunk ca 48k in the assigned region, now taking into account that the original requirement is 50k [and 25k in the light version], it seems possible that the tonnage bar is still tied to the original requirement and not the modded one, hence displaying as almost full?

I could request the other of the first 2 displayed missions when in the dock at Kiel [the one regarding the south western supply routes], just not Coastal Waters.. might be that it's cleared in the mod, but not yet in the unmodded part of the game [i don't know too much about the inner structure of it]..

I played this a very long time ago and everything seemed ok at the time. I have just read the Lite 1.2 readme and it takes everything into account, so you should not really be having problems!

Well, i'll be shipping back to the coastal line now, resupply at Helgoland en route..
Since there's no orange symbol anywhere i'll just roam the area for a cpl of days and will sink whatever i spot.. will post here if i have news.. thx again for your commitment!

If you finish your patrol too early select, "End Patrol" go to the officer and start the new patrol even though it will still be your old one.

When on the bridge go to the "Anchor icon" and select "End Patrol"

Go back to the officer and repeat until you have made up enough days to start your new mission.

i went back to mission area and sunk another vessel.. most likely making up for the originally requested 50k tons, and now the cross is highlighted/bold..

didn't receive any message or anything, it just auto-saved at that moment.. went back to homeport [now Bremerhaven], still received the same briefing intro, but as before the coastal lines mission wasn't selectable anymore, just this time the cross was bold as well.. i just selected the other mission of the initial 2 and will just go ahead with that.. if i finish before the due date [which will probably be the case] i'll proceed with your last suggestion until due date or whenever new missions will show up.. thx again!

Ths is the why I gave up on this mod.

I was completing the missions so early sometimes as much as 6 weeks or more and to be honest I just got bored with it.

One time I did over 20 start and End Patrol's to be able to get to the next mission.

My fault for only setting 3 days in the Bunker.

I think I was in Mare Nostrum Campaign at the time.

You can advance through the Campaigns quickly with the Lite mod.

It was in my early days with SH5 so at the time is was a useful way of getting in to the game without any pressure.

I think it was a miss-use of the word mission in the game texts. The mission has a time frame and a tonnage expectation to be reached. The mission is not a patrol, but actually as many patrols as you can do during the date range.

If you reach the tonnage goal that does not end the mission. If the date of the end of mission comes along and you have not got the tonnage, you fail the mission. That is true no matter how many patrols you took during the mission date range.

This is the exact reason why i'm playing with this mod. Been only diving with SH4 U-Boot Missions until recently and since the whole interface etc is new i thought i better go that route. I already read a lot about TDW's new UI, but it was said somewhere that it can be a bit heavy on the fps and my old laptop is barely running SH5..

So the mission did not end yet since the due date is not reached.. However, the orange "sink here" symbol disappeared after sinking somewhat below 50k [as a reminder, lite campaign tonnage goal is 25k] and the green checkmark for "goal reached" (weak translation, i'm using the German version) appeared, but the mission cross only turned BOLD after sinking 50k in the assigned area.. in both cases i didn't receive a message for a new mission/return to port from BdU, but i could only request the other mission..

Guess i have loads of time for that one since both due dates are 8 months away.. should have some spare time for sneaking into some ports left
