How to finish a patrol / complete a mission ?

MP · 04-01-07, 02:43 PM

I have been saving and loading the same mission to try and solve this issue. i have over 4 days in the boat, but still the mission wont complete (Again its mission 3 from a new career) I am partoling Celebes Sea. I have been around the orange star for ages now, sinking countless contacts. Still no grey star?

Is there a way to edit the save game file, I could in SH3. I have looked at my save game files, but cant find it.

Just a thought: the option to have the navigator plot a search pattern is still in, maybe completing that one is enough? I'm on the 'getting agents ashore' mission myself so I have no idea if that actually works.

A change in the patrol status is only triggered by "sending status reports"

At least once a day send a status report back to HQ. Example:

[Section 102]
FileName=data/Campaigns/Campaign/PatrolObjectives/Patrol Honshu 01/Patrol Honshu 01.mis
StartDate=19420401
EndDate=19451201
GameModes=Career
InclusionProbability=100
MinimumDifficultyRating=0
MinimumPlayerRating=-3
EntryFocalPointLong=16761500.000000
EntryFocalPointLat=4170000.000000
MaximumDistanceFromStartPoint=1500
ExclusiveLayer=Yes
ExclusiveLayerID=182
EvaluationReason=StatusReport <-------
AllMatch=PrimaryObjCompleted
PartialMatch=
PartialMatchingMinimumPercentage=
MinimumFuelPercentage=35
MinimumAmmoPercentage=25

The completion of the primary objective is determined by a Status Report.

That sounds the most logical yet. Good find m8.
