Ulrich Kröpke · 08-25-17, 01:36 AM

Is there nobody who wants to help an old Kaleun to place a ship in the harbor Lorient?

Hi Ulrich Kröpke

You are not far away with what you have done so far.

Goto data\Campaigns\CampaignProjects
open with text editor Happy_Times.py
At the bottom add:-

[Layer22] *****this should be the next number****
LayerType=0
MissionName=Light_Ships

Then goto the top line and change to add the extra layer:-

[Project]
NumLayers=23

Save are then restart "Happy times"

Thank's Trevally that you tried to help me. But under Happy times pj there are 31 Layer and the Layer 32 was automatically installed with "MissionName=Light Ships and the NumLayer was automatically changed to= 33.
So that did not fix my problem. Do you have any other idear?

Couple of things to confirm first

You have started happy times (this is required as the campaign files are built when it loads for the first time). Use silentotto to test.

Check that the total number of layers match the first line in the .py file. Remember and include the "0" first one

If that does not fix it - test the method used to add the ship:-
Add the ship by editing one of the existing layers (harbour or other layer)

If this works- then the method for adding the ship is correct, but the method for adding the layer is wrong.
If it does not work - then the method for adding the ship is wrong

I followed your adwice and checked silentotto and Happy times. You were right.
When I started to play Happy times I have typed Silentotto but forgot to click also on Happy times. No wonder that ME 2 did not work in the right way. Yesterday I made a donation of 40 $ to the account of the Community. I think that`s also in your mind. Thanks for helping Trevally.
