Query for an Odd Problem

No suggestions?

I sure don't, as I've never played those scenarios. I do remember, however, some folks a long time ago complaining about starting off Africa - and that was in the stock game.

Yes, I experienced that myself. Once it happened to me completely randomly at the beginning of a patrol, and another time it happened to me immediately after a transfer to a new flotilla.

It seems to be happening very frequently whenever I try to start in the Black Sea or in the IO/PO though, and that's why I asked. I'm going to give it another few goes (currently at a count of four tries) and see if it'll remember to start me at Penang after I complete a patrol or something along those lines. It's a bit frustrating since I can't deploy to the IO or the PO until very late in the war and that doesn't give me much time to enjoy the atmosphere of the new operational area.

I tested this more thoroughly. I am not able to start patrols from any location, with IO/PO or Black Sea files enabled, except from off the coast of Africa.

More alarmingly, this has spread to all oceans: Attempting a secondary career in a Type VII using GWX 2.0 has me starting off the African coast as well. Exceedingly strange.

Edit:
- I forgot to mention that I did disable the files in question before trying the secondary career.

hmmm, well someone has an answer and will eventually share it.

As far as starting off Africa, this is 0N 0W latitude and longitude. Where the prime meridian and equator cross. When SH3 doesn't know where you are supposed to start your mission it defaults to placing you at 0'-0"N 0'-0"W which is right where you are describing.

The person you want to talk to is "bigboywooly" if anyone can help its him.

My initial thought is that some minor step got overlooked or two JSGME enabled mods are conflicted.

Good luck

@PavelKirilovich: i had that similar problem couple of weeks ago, im pretty sure that the thread is listed in here. the problem i had was that i started near, freetown. so i posted the same problem that u have right now. the people here explained to me what i did wrong, it appeared that when i installed the campaign files with JSGME, that i have overwritten 1 file with another so that they became pretty much useless. if i find that thread ill post it right here.
