Need Pros to answer these editor questions...

FWIW there should be no docks at Truk.

Truk was an anchorage with very primitive port facilities. Anything taken ashore was done by lighters.

In general, except for a few of the developed, larger ports, even the 2 "very small" pacific ports are too big and european looking for the PTO.

Tater, understand about Truk. Just using it to learn the system.

Well, I think I got it now. I can add Ports, ships, random generated units and just about anything the Editor can do now. Just a few more things and I will be ready to go.

My concern was that going thru the sim from start to finish I never saw major warships at any of the ports even Tokyo which is really not factual. We need to have the ports that supported the Japanese Navy during the war loaded like they were. This should be in the campaign. That is what I am gearing towards.

I'm more than halfway thru Silent Victory by Blair so that will be my reference.

Thanks again for the clues. I guess you learn by doing and making mistakes. There needs to be written information about the Load and Save routines in the editor. Why is it we always have to find out the hard way without Ubis help.

Again, thanks for the help...

If I may offer a campaign suggestion:

instead of putting ships in the IJN ports, make the ports impossible to infiltrate and forget about populating them. US subs never went into IJN ports as trivially as they do in SH4. Barely sticking a nose in happened, but was literally medal of honor stuff (and rare).

Is there any kind of documentation for the Mission Editor? I guess I could look into the game DVD, but I have a suspicion that there is nothing there to look for.

Wilcke,

this is the best one I have found. The rest is trial and error but this is a great start. As far as I know this is the latest...
There is no SH4 editor tutorial or manual as far as I know. This is a detailed manual for SH3 which is mostly the same.

Hope that helps....

Many of the subs just waited outside the bay for the ships to come out and then made their attack. I put destroyers and subchasers at the entrance to ward off the subs. That's the way it was.....
