thank you sooo much!!

Thank you for this! Will load it up and report back with any bugs/glitches.

One think that needs to be tackled as well is the proper dates for ships being in the campaign. Victory cargos in '39? It's almost as if they devs just threw ships in at random.

That's not hard to do either. You just need to identify the ships and find their appropriate .cfg. There you can alter the appearancedate they're allowed to appear on the seas to a later date.

No more invasions of liberties that way.

Anyway, it's a pretty big list of things that needs to be smoothed out for the campaign. But it's easily scripted at least.

I don`t understand this: You rewrote *.tsr files for information what to do but don`t rewrote *.cfg campaign files. I don`t think it will affect campaing unless you also fully edit *.cfg files there.

For example: Total Germany, original mission to sink 100K tons on South Western Approaches changed to 50K. I don`t think game will take that in account and you will still need 100K unless you cange that in *.cfg file like this:

Your description:

Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 3.PersObj 1.Description=Sink 50,000 tons of cargo in South Western Approaches

My changes:

[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 3.PersObj 1]
PersObjType=0
Name=Sink_100,000=>50,000_tons_of_cargo_in_South_Western_Approaches
Description=Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 3.PersObj 1.Description
RelatedMapLocations=Area_Southwestern
IsCompleted=false

[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 3.PersObj 1.Amount]
IsTonnage=true
Tonnage=100000=>50000
NumOfShips=0

Just example, did not try it yet but I think these are critical values to change not just text information in *.tsr. I want to start new campaign but don`t want get anything borked.

I changed both .cfg and .tsr files.

You maybe uploaded older files that still needed to be changed could you please look at it again?

I like this mod, just want to be sure everything is allright.

I tried this mod but noticed that the completion indicator for tonnage sunk still shows the old 100K value. In other words the campaign notes say i only have to sink 50K tons but the little marker showing how close you are to target is still behaving as if i have to sink 100K tons.

Hope I explained that ok :-)

I'm not complaining as i can do without the graphic representation just wondering if it also means the campaign wont actually acknowledge the new reduced targets having been met.
