Pretty unfortunate to add traffic to the game.. but better than nothing.

Btw.

Did some of you notice that all merchant ships in the game do not show up with external cargo???
It can be added with the ME.. really nice cargo .. so sad that it does not show up in the game... maybe we can change this!?

Well thats handy
Only seeing changes in a new career
Sigh
Noticed the ext cargo in ME but you are correct doesnt show ingame
IIRC SH4 didnt have deck cargo either at the start so may be fixable
Wonder if the ships have the nodes on them to plcae the cargo

EDIT
Well the NLL and NVV certainly have the K nodes on them

External cargo works great. I've put artillery, train engines, trucks and they all show up. Pretty nice choices in there already..

In fact, for my campaign:
1. I've upped all the enemy patrol CrewRatings in PortTraffic_TG.mis to VETERAN (default Competent 3/5)
2. Randomly added external/internal cargo to convoys.

After the next patch, some small campaign mods might start surfacing

Oh
Not seen any yet
Yes I think you are right
Tis a pity you have to start a new career to see any changes tho
That wont go down well

So if I need to test something in 42 I need to start a new career then play till 42 to check if ok

Tried a single mission but was only me not the rest of the world,bases etc

Oh man I didn't even think of that.
That's gonna make building a campaign a frikkin nightmare.

What we need is a set of all mission completed JSGME ready files
Providing you can go back in time with your career
Or testing will be a nightmare

When i write SH5 Multi player mission start date may 1942 & i want to put in Greek ships dutch ships & ships from the occupied lands of Europe
all them ships have blue icons same as the axis controlled units

what was that fix for multiple ships spawning onto of each other? D:
i've been reading the thread but it seems like someone forgot to actually post what fixed it =/

recreating the mission didn't work either =/ ARGH! -flails-

Does the new editor still have "merge" like SH4 so you can load up, say, the harbor layer UNDER the mission you are working on to see the facilities?

Is that now the check boxes under Missions on the right? Turn different layers on and off, and saved or not saved changes? That's pretty cool.

BTW, some date and time stuff in SH4 did not save tot he minute from the editor, but I think to the nearest hour. If you edit the TEXT file, it would work, however.

Yup, exactly. In fact in order to see the harbor overlays you need to load up a default mission into your "project".
