Mission Editor Issues, Anomalies & Bugs

[TABLEDANCER]

Thankyou

[Der Teddy Bar]

To stop the notepad informing you that you went over a ship, the English.cfg (and German etc) was edited to remove the ship class names, so for example, Type0=Patrol Craft was changed to Type0=-

This causes the Mission Editor to not have the 'generic Ship Class' option for use in the random group selection.

So instead of having a Generic Battleship, Generic Fleet Carrier, Generic Destroyer, Generic Cruiser and so on, you will only get a single entry Generic.

So for editing, just have a copy of the file, drop it in when you are editing and drop the other one back when playing.

In this file, this...
;Warships
Type0=Patrol Craft
Type1=Corvette
Type2=Frigate
Type3=Destroyer Escort
Type4=Destroyer
Type5=Minesweeper
Type6=Light Cruiser
Type7=Heavy Cruiser
Type8=Escort Carrier
Type9=Fleet Carrier
Type10=Battlecruiser
Type11=Battleship
Type12=Minelayer
Type13=Auxiliary Cruiser

Has been changed to this
;Warships
Type0=-
Type1=-
Type2=-
Type3=-
Type4=-
Type5=-
Type6=-
Type7=-
Type8=-
Type9=-
Type10=-
Type11=-
Type12=-
Type13=-

I Have Made 25 Mission With NO Problem's ~BUT~ Now Have Installed The V103 Patch ~N~ Have Tried Making A NEW Mission By The Italy Cost ~N~ Have Ship's From Italy On The Map That I DID NOT Put On Mission Edit Map

Found This In Manual ~ Making A NEW Mission Already Have filled with all the shipping and planes ect that make up the game. So its living already (clever hey!) ~ IF I WANTED Their DAM MISSION ~ I WOULD NOT BE MAKING MY OWN MISSION's ~ I Want ONLY The Ship's I Put On A NEW Mission Map ~ NOT ALL THOSE OTHER DAM SHIP"S THAT ONLY USE UP MEMORY

WTF ~ A NEW Mission Map ~ Mean's A NEW Mission MAP ~ NOT ALL The Programers Sucken Other Ship's

When I Play The Game Those Italy Ship's Show Up??? WTK ~ AGAIN A NEW Mission Map Means A NEW Map ~BUT~ These ubi Programs DO NOT Understand What The Word NEW Means

ALSO ~ The Ship's Do Not Show Up In The Mission Editor Program ~ I Do Not C Them To Delete The DAM Unwanted Italy Ship's That Are Put On A NEW Mission Map That I DO NOT WANT

The campaign is fully active even in single player missions. It´s a feature that we have to live with. The only thing you can do about it is to remove all units from the random and scripted campaign layer.

[TAY999]

dont do that!!!! "removing units from random and scripted layer" I did it, then found on multi player games that as my scripted and random layers did not match other players, my game kept crashing, so had to uninstall and re-install to start playing multi missions again, I'm not 100% sure this is what caused the problem, but pretty sure.

I would suggest looking at the random layer map, then create a new mission where there is no random shipping present.

I have created a mission but getting some strange effects

1. Ships and planes appearing where I havent put any
2. Hydrophone/sonar not functioning when mission initializes

You can clearly see below that there is a ship where I have not put one
and it happens at start of the mission.

The campaign is fully active even when you play single player missions. Every ship, aircraft and land object is there.

Why the hydrophone doesn´t work I don´t know.

Hi UST,

can remember that there were issues with modded AI Uboats and hydrophone/gauges.
Do you use AI Uboat mods?
Do the gauges work properly? Or are they all on 12 o'clock position?

Hi SSB and Gizzmoe -- thx for replying Herr Kaleuns /me salutes¬

they are 12 oclock and when I press F7 and check the boat it says they are destoyed. My crew tell me just as the map is initialized. aaaaAAARRGH!

[SquareSteelBar]

This seems like AI_Uboats are in the environment of player's sub. Load the 'Campaign_SCR.mis' into MissionEditor, zoom in your Single mission scenario location and look for them. I'm sure you have mods in use which include AI_Uboats.
If they are created by Sergbuto, download the latest versions and replace the faulty subs. I think he fixed these sonar/gauges issues recently.

Whats sup with starting a NEW!!! map and finding mine fields, other boats...in the harbor and out of it...
If its a NEW map shouldn't it be clean of anything else? Im finding crap I never added in a map thats supposed to be new.

???

[Koondawg]

I cant edit units out of the 'NEW' mission as they are in but dont show...like in the mine fields that I didnt add that are in the mission (upon creating a NEW map) already and ships in the harbor... on the map.
I had to redock two ships...and adding flotilas in the path I have had probs with them spawing under the ships i placed...ghost ships...any remedy?

[Koondawg]

Well thanks I got the opens seas crap down...my bud and I play many a mission on the open seas. But what is funner and keeps you on your toes is trying to crawl into a harbor and sink key ships and make it out...this becomes frustrating when hearing the guitar riffs and knowing something aint right. Then I have to fly around and find just why this happened...open seas maps kewel...harbor raids...very kewel..We have made over 15 maps between us but time spent making mods once this happens becomes tiresome and not that much fun.
