Aircover is definitely in (Sh3Gen had it already). The only thing I don't know is the exact range of airplanes, anybody got information on that??

Currently I am working on ordnance, experimenting what can be done with polygonal buffers. Here is a preview, do you see an improvement over Sh3Gen?

Certainly like the new subnet effects, and I finally noticed the aircover in theSH3gen map, after it was pointed out.

As far as the weather files, you might try posting in one of the environmental mods forum, as I believe some have made changes to the weather.

Environmental mods forum? I really like to know more about SHIV weather ..

I hope the new subnets / minefield areas are much better in giving away port defenses, without being too much of a cheat either.

Here a new screen, now with some coastal batteries and aa positions.

But I still don't know where I can find information about the faction / side that controls a location? Anybody knows which file defines this? Or do I have to derive this from other information in the campaign data?

For US: US_NavalBases.mis
For Axis: Axis_NavalBases.mis

I worked with these two file and it's pretty dissapointing. Is this the only way to find out about which city / harbor is in which side? What I get to see is nothing but a lot of german naval bases in the Atlantic:

Now I wonder if this is only the case when I use OperationMonsun?

Bases in atlantic are milkcow you see

Hi GE

I think your mod is GREAT and I don't see a CHEAT.

It's enemy intelligence which if I recall is adjustable.

Is this for SH4 1.5 ?

Yep, those are milk cows for sure, but are only available for certain dates, maybe there is a way to just look at the file between certain dates, as I can see you knowing where they would be during your patrol, but not ANY at ALL times.

Yes I must check the dates, then supply boats can be filtered.

And I just found that everything looks much more complete when I work with the vanilla data, it seems I screw up Op Monsun without properly installing it over the UBoat missions (still dont have the addon).

Here is a screen with SHIV PTO vanilla. Look how neat UBI has laid out the minefields.

Aircoverage is still a bit patchy, but I think I'm getting there.

When finished, it should work with all versions, I think about retrofitting it for SHIII too.

GlobalExplorer · 08-22-08, 08:18 AM

The question about "origin" of location still stands. so far no onw knew a way to find out which faction a location belongs to (Campaign_LOC.mis).

For those that follow my progress, the polygon buffer method gives much nicer results than in Sh3Gen. I have added asw patrol zones and coastal traffic:

Look very good

GlobalExplorer · 08-22-08, 02:24 PM

Maps come together nicely. Now with additional merchant and coastal traffic as well as asw patrol zones:
