Adding lighthouses

[bigboywooly]

They need to be added through the locations.cfg

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Terrain

Open the mission editor and zoom in to where you want the lighthouse to go

At the bottom of the mission ed you will notice lat and long coordinates when your mouse is in the right place

Oh when you are zoomed in press the "o" on your keyboard - it will render the shoreline better

When you have the coordinates written down you can open up the locations.cfg

Add a new entry to the bottom of the list

You new entry should read something like this

[Location xxx]
Long=10.193300
Lat=54.383495
Heading=180
OnLand=false
ShowOnMap=true
FileName=Lighthouse
LocationName=Seths lighthouse

You wont see it clearly in the mission ed
Best way to check it out is to make a single mission at the new location to make sure its ok

Appreciated, mate. I have one question, maybe a little stupid...
Do i have to rollback the commander before adding these lighthouses?

Well you are modding SH3 so I would just to be safe
And make sure you are in port or your patrol may not work after as your are adding stuff
