LSH3 2020 Mod - limit contacts?

the RND Leyer has lots of entries you can delete single ship entries or lower the respawn time hours from 125hrs to 500hrs so they spawn less frequent

Ok, found the RND.mis folder but now what? How do I know what files/entries are the single ship entries that I want to delete?

If the Mission Editor (ME) closes when you open the RND layer, then there is something not compatible in the file with the ME. Several things to check... be certain that you use the ME in the LSH folder -AND- that you are opening the Campaign_RND.mis file in that same game folder, else things will most likely crash like that. For whatever reason, both the SH3 and the SH4 ME apps remember your last-used folder, no matter where you open the ME from. If you do not use the correct ME (so it can read the correct game Roster folder), and the correct Campaign files (so it can "call" the proper modded Roster folder), then things can get wonky real fast...

Below LSH-2020 Campaign File

When you have opened up the RND leyer in the mission editor scroll down past the Convoy entries like SC,HX,HG,SL unitil you get to British Traffic 000 ect those are the single ships

Click on British traffic 000

Open up ship info by left click on British Traffic 0000 then right clicking you can alter its spawn frequency or you can delete the entry
getting the Random Leyer down to 2500-3000kbs about half the original size should do the trick.

This is GREAT!! Thank you VERY much for your help!!

Final questions:

I am lowering the 'Group Spawn Probability field, correct? Change is from 50 to say 25 for example?

Do I only need to do this to the entities with 'traffic' (British Traffic for example) or do I need to also do it to fields that contain 'sea', 'europe', 'waters' and others? I also see 'Atlantic traffic' too - those as well?

repeat hours from 17 to 240 so its spawning every 10 days or even longer 480 hours every 20 days and do it for all single entry ships not just british traffic
when you restart your career start in port before 1st patrol

If you make a mistake and mess up your Campaigns folder no worries ive got your back I have zipped up LSH2020 Campaigns folder with 7zip you will need 7zip to unpack the Campaigns folder then delete the old one and replace with this one download link below

Well in modifying my RND.mis folder I messed something up so I deleted LSH3 2020 and installed LSH3 2022 and WOW, it looks very nice but will now probably have a whole new line of questions.

My first stumbling point:

Using SH3 Commander - how do I start without having to go through the 'training'? Is there something I can change/update to skip this and jump directly into a career?
