mtns-More traffic, nations and ships by uekel, (in English) + OHII

That´s true!

I solved it removing the \data\Library\cameras.cam from the mnts mod and now it works.

It´s ok, because "cameras.cam" was not important for mtns. I only increased the outside view´s "MaxZoom" from 10 to 400. It had bothered me that for example ships from very near proximity, still appear relatively small.

SOAN doesn´t recognice a lot of ships and got an error from TDW python scripts saying "bla, bla...error"

Maybe a reason:

Config for stock-ships:

[Unit]
ClassName=AGCC2Appalachian
3DModelFileName=data/Sea/NAGC_C2Appalachian/NAGC_C2Appalachian
UnitType=109
MaxSpeed=12
Length=142.11
Width=20.99
Mast=37.54
Draft=7.30
Displacement=7600
DisplacementVariation=5
RenownAwarded=230
CrewComplement=30
SurvivalRate=80
SurvivalPercentage=60
RecManualCategory=Freighter
BowShape=Raked
Superstructure=Composite
Islands=1
;********* THE END **********

The red entrys I haven´t fill in for mtns-units. They´re needed for the ship´s filter. The "stock "-SOAN (mean without Reaper7´s addon) had it not needed, but the ship´s filter of course not work. I would like very pleased if that finds someone to fill out this lines.

Also other help would be very welcome!

IIRC the red entries are not needed (I coded it so they can be used if found). They are nice to have but will not prevent SOAN from displaying the ships. There's another problem somewhere in the files...

I think it only occur with reaper7´s addon, because without it (SOAN-pure) I never noticed it.

Another reason can be:

Example for an "early" cfg-file:

[Unit]
ClassName=LTgBoat
UnitType=104
MaxSpeed=15
Length=63
Width=12
Mast=21.5
Draft=4.50
Displacement=1100
RenownAwarded=30
RecManualCategory=Other

[2DCompartments]
UnitPos=130,10,253,18
NbOfComp=1
Name1=Keel
Area1=194,6,125,11

Here the red lines are "old stuff". I suggest, I clean up there, fill in a END line and we would see.

Hey people, some more input from me. The game is working fine, BUT now I have tried to refit in Brest, no way I can enter Brest it's all because of the time compression, even at 32 the game crashes "SH5 is not fuctioning" I have unloaded so many mods, installed the light version......nothing helps. Tried to enter Lorient, same crash....

Edit - managed to get into Lorient on the bridge with 16x time compression, can't get close to Brest

Hi Maki,

This could be just bad timming.
If these harbours have just spawned a large convey (spawn gens are right in beside the port) - then this may overload your PC (a lot of things in a high mem usage area i.e piers and buildings)

Try loading a save game and waiting out side the ahrbour (30km) for a day or two and see if a large convoy exits.
Then try a enter port.


If this is the case - it may be possible to move all the port spawn gens to outside the memory hungry area of the harbours.

This would futher help to reduce mem usage

It could be I'll try one more time. Although I am havin gdoubts because now I entered Lorient tip-toeing and there was no convoy, so i moved back to brest and well maybe 50km or so from the harbour the game freezes.

Although convoy related when I am nearing a sound contact well, when a sound contact spawns it sort of freezes the game for just a second and then well I keep my fingers crossed weather it will crash or just continue.

EDIT - nothing I have tried completly disabeling the antialiasing, I was on the bridge at 16x time compression it still crashed about 20 km from Brest......uhhh I don't know perhaps I just need to stick to Lorient and wait for the next version of the mod

Hi Maki!

And better you don´t change in between (with a savegame) to the light-version. The reason is, that savegames stored all unit´s (it´s a huge file). If you change without carreer start to the light, some units which the game expect, now not defined. Must not lead to CTD, but can. In this case the units from Harbour-Enhancement-Mod.

@pedrobas

As i also use "NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ERM_Reaper7_NightVision_Blac k_Sk in" i have to use "mtns - Fix for Reaper7 UI - recognition manual". The problem here is that the SOAN doesn´t recognice a lot of ships and got an error from TDW python scripts saying "bla, bla...error". Not big issue here since just hitting Enter key it continues without CTD. This is the point where i´m stuck now because i would like the SOAN to work properly with "Identifying" ships.

Can you try this: http://www.mediafire.com/?4aatv72x57a5qb2

activate it at last (I know, evryone who publish a mod say it , but it´s only for testing). In this I have cleanup the cfg-files, maybe it helps.

Sometimes I also have thought about it. But on the other side it must be very far from the harbour.

Yes - im sure it would cut down on the work a PC has to do in a port.

It would look odd with convoys forming out at sea - also convoys at the end of their path would delete there

Thanks, it was confusing as you have included it as an option in your OP, listed as installed after the 1.7a fix.

You´re right i´ll update that info, right now.
