Tested.

The problem is the en_menu file (or de_menu). Eliminating it from Hsie patch, I have no problem with error in Commander, but the game is rotten.

You have an en_menu file with problems, and I have the en_menu included in Hsie patch with problems. I will investigate that looong and damned en_menu file. Some entry is causing the problem in Commander.

Regards.

SOLUTION FOR THE SH3 COMMANDER BASES ERROR:

Search in your installation the en_menu.cfg file. Route: Your SH3 folder\Data\Menu.

Make a copy of this file.

Create a folder "en_menu my way" (or anything else), and create inside it this folder structure:

en_menu my way\Data\Menu

Inside the folder "Menu" of this new "mod" put the copy of your en_menu.cfg file.

Search with a text editor the entries:

750=Kiel
751=Brest
752=Wilhelmshaven
753=Lorient
754=St. Nazaire
755=Bergen
756=Bordeaux
757=La Spezia
758=Toulon
759=Flensburg
760=La Rochelle

The numbers could vary because of your installation. Search for "Nazaire" and you will find the entries.

Delete all these entries with name bases (in my installation 750 to 760), and replace they with:

750=Kiel
751=Brest
752=Wilhelmshaven
753=Lorient
754=St. Nazaire
755=Bergen
756=Bordeaux
757=La Spezia
758=Toulon
759=Flensburg
760=Constanza
761=Penang
762=Jakarta
763=Salamis
764=Trondheim
765=Königsberg
766=La Rochelle
767=Sevastopol
768=Feodosia
769=Libau
770=Pillau

Save the en_menu.cfg file, and copy paste the folder "en_menu my way" in your MODS folder.

Activate the mod "en_menu my way" after all your mods, with JSGME.

You will receive an alert of overwriting the "en_menu.cfg" file. OK.

That´s all. Now you start Commander and you will have all the bases and flotillas.

Working fine in my installation (I started a campaign in 1939/08 with Commander and in game I had Könisberg as base).

It seems this solution will work with any installation with GWX.

Test, please!

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo

I use the merged campaign optional with GWX. I think if you use another campaign files (example: GWX basic), you need to delete the entries of the not included bases (example: Penang).

All the best.

My pleasure!

I started campaigns in diverse years and bases and works fine with my Hsie patch and Ahnenerbe GUI.

Regards.
