No worries

Have done it myself - looks ok in the mission ed until you find any docked ships aground when should be floating

:rotfl:

Always best to write up a single miss and take a look

Done Piraeus it's ok , i've just modified Cartagena

[Sailor Steve]

I visit Cartegena all the time in the game. I don't see why we need a new one...no, wait, that's Pirates!

:rotfl:

Just kidding, of course. This looks like a great thing to have.

I've just noticed that the KielCanaldock files used for Cartagena and Port T aren't stock files , i've watched but it seems i messed somewhere (i've four Silent hunter games in the Ubisoft folder) . KielCanaldock files are files made by Ref and CCIP for the GWX Holtenau harbour if you have GWX installed there shouldn't be any problems if you don't have GWX you need the files KielCanaldock.dat , KielCanaldock.tga , KielCanalPort.dat , KielCanalPort.tga (data\Terrain\Locations) and HB_KielCanaldock.tga and HB_KielCanalPort.tga (data\MissionEditor\Locations) there are two solutions first one you install GWX somewhere but not in your SilentHunterIII folder and simply copy the files in your game the second as GWX 's something like 1Gb weight you send me a PM i'll send you the files

There are two ways to do so the first that i've made is to pick the things you want from GWX and integrate them to your installation but it's long and complicated i just can't say if i could remember what i've done , the second is the one below

Download the WAC supermod WAC_2.0_Light_Part_2.zip file here extract the content
move the Colombia folder (Roster) in your Roster folder (SilentHunterIII\data\Roster)
open your DefSide.cfg (Roster) with Notepad scroll to end and add this (i shorten to facilitate the things)

[SideEntry xx]
Country=Colombia
Side=0
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

Replace the xx by the last side entry +1 for example if your last side entry is [SideEntry 54] it should be [SideEntry 55]
go into your Roster folder of American copy the Land folder into your new Colombia folder (Roster)
go into the Land folder you've just made (Roster/Colombia) delete the files SmallAirBaseUS.cfg , NormalAirBaseUS.cfg and LargeAirBaseUS.cfg
download the WAC_2.0_Light_Part_3.zip file extract , open the sea folder (WAC 2.0 Light Part 3) move the following folders into your sea (SilentHunterIII\data) folder

NF_boat_3
NF_boat_L
NLSQ_
NLTF
NLTMs_

open your EnglishNames.cfg (SilentHunterIII\data\Sea) with Notepad add at the end

FishingBoat3=Cutter
FishBoatL=Small Coastal Vessel L
LSQ=Coastal Merchant L
LTgBoat=Tug Boat L
LTMS=T3 Tanker L

close

to add a naval base at Cartagena do this it'll go faster open the Campaign_LND.mis file in SilentHunterIII\data\Campaigns\Campaign add at the end (before [EditorParams]) replace the xxx by the last location number +1

[Unit xxx]
Name=Cartagena
Class=NavalBase
Type=407
Origin=Colombia
Side=0
Commander=0
CargoExt=-1
CargoInt=-1
CfgDate=19380101
DeleteOnLastWaypoint=true
DockedShip=false
GameEntryDate=19380101
GameEntryTime=0
GameExitDate=19451231
GameExitTime=0
EvolveFromEntryDate=false
Long=-9064253.000000
Lat=1249770.000000
Height=4.000000
Heading=0.000000
Speed=0.000000
CrewRating=3
DelayMin=0
ReportPosMin=-1
ReportPosProbability=100
RandStartRadius=0.000000
NextWP=0

Done
sorry

Edit : You also need the flag.dat and the flagS.dat (data\Library) which contains the Colombian flag for the flag to show up on the ships , i suggest to grab the GWX 2.0 ones which are the most complete to date (send me a PM if you don't want to download the whole GWX)
