Then yes! That's the problem! That's why, you get CTD!
You need to play like this:

Sh3 v1.4b + GW1.0 + GW-UA1.1 + GW-UA1.13

Someone else has hosted GW-UA1.1, then try get it there! I think, it's Snakech
It's a huge dl however, more than 1.2 Gb
Your spec looks fine, about the same as my desktop!

I got your 1.1 from Snakech !!!!!
I installed fresh SH3 then 1.4 update
Then enabled GW v1.0 thru JSGME
Then enabled your UA1.1 then your 1.13

All right then, it seems you have done, what you should! Then I can only imagine that you must have experienced an incomplete download or something!

When right-clicking the mod folder for GW-UA1.1, I get this info:
2171 files in 451 folders using up 1.348.329.472 byte of disk space
When right-clicking the mod folder for GW-UA1.13, I get this info:
226 files in 75 folders using up 722.161.664 byte of disk space

Do you get the same info?
Will try to provide par2 files, if necessary...

Hi Snakech! Could you do me a favour?
I have for some reason deleted the 7-zip files for GW-UA1.1 on my pc, so could you please create some par2 files for me to host on my site, so that people can check their dl's for errors! My mail adress is a the bottom of my site, just remove the obvious part from adress!

I downloaded the files again, and everything worked. I think the first thing to do if you have a problem is to redownload and try again.

It's a file created by a tool named QuickPar, which was/is used a lot in the usenet. When uploading/downloading archieved material, usually in rar format, but it will work just as good with any other like 7-zip, sometimes incompleted dl's can be checked with par2 files, and if the dl'er has a corrupted dl, QuickPar will repair the archieve!
You can get the program here:
http://www.quickpar.org.uk/
There is a tutorial at the site! When creating par2, you need only about 10 recovery blocks, this should be sufficient and less time consuming in the creation of the par2 files!

Thanks for the info! I know very little about modding this game, I just do a bit of skinning on the subs and that is about it.

To your knowledge this causes no conflict with running GW 1.1a?

My campaign_lnd_mis file is the gw campaign_lnd.mis file merged (mixed) with my extra info, or in other words: I have built my campaign files on the GW campaign, so no, you should have no problems, if you choose just to add my campaign layer to your install! Though, you'll only get the "black dots" telling where the cities are! In my recent patch, I added Sassnitz as an attempt to add ports to the game! I do intend to add more ports over the time...

[Carotio]

The next patch is still not ready, but I'll tell you now, what I am working on!
I have finally tried to put in some harbours on the map, and in my latest patch I managed to put in Sassnitz - with traffic! Now I have put in Dunquerque and Suez too, and so far I'm pretty pleased about it!
As you know, if playing with my add on, I have put in a lot of new cities around the world! My plan is of course to make those cities alive with ports and traffic! Since it's pretty time consuming, I think I'll add no more than three other city ports for the next patch; which? Let it be a surprise!
Just wanted to share my enthusiasm about this aspect of modding and new stuff in my add on!

[Carotio]

Dadadadaaaaaaaaaa! Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you:

GW-UA1.14, the fourth patch! This one fixes some small bugs, adds 2 more units plus I have added port facilities with traffic to 5 cities: Dunquerque, Cayenne, Tokyo, Masawa and Suez, plus added/corrected some GW entries for cities: Cuxhaven, Rangoon, Madras, Calais2, Rotterdam & Zeebrugge!

However, since my history knowledge about Dunquerque is a little vague, I have not added the famous Dunquerque escape, but at least the harbour is there now, if somebody would help create the traffic! (Rubini?)

You can get it at my site! I have added par2 files, so you can check your dl's before complaining!

Anyway, since it's summertime in Denmark now, I will probably not work too much with my add on, neither is it certain that I'll respond right away from next week and untill august!

I did click on the image but the connection times out hence the hijacked assumption. Oh,I do have a sense of humor but unfortunately,several of my friends websites have been hijacked recently.

Edit: I was able to connect at 12:24 EST. Thanks for the update.
