are we having fun, yet?

ok, well, i pivoted a bit.
don't know why, can't explain it, but i launched ME, not from my desktop icon but from the Explorer window. previously i was using a desktop icon.

well, the result was three error messages about ships with wrong classes within an RGG. DUH!
then CTD.

the desktop icon is pointing to ME in the FOTRSU game folder not Dark Waters.
who would have thunk that this could mess up a mission?

ok, change of plans. i will start from scratch and add some ships to the original T2C-Jun-4 mission and see if A. the ships are defined correctly and B. if i get a CTD when i torpedo one.

are we having fun, yet? another Ubi Good Deal.

part of the problem was using the ME from another installation.
so, MultiSH4 users, be advised: use the ME in the folder for the version of SH4 that you are using and not an ME from any other SH4 installation.
at least i resolved the CTD issue.

the tanker availability issue is still a mystery. i'll have to put more time into it.
