03/1943 : missing destination.

These messages are for when you are in a wolfpack for a campaign objective.
They are repeated so that you can do this over many months and still get the messages.
the messages are important as they will give orders for where to go and when to attack.
They are triggered by invisible map zone that the campaign will guide you to.

They are correct and not an error

ORP Gryf was quite heavily armed for a minelayer and had the respectable maximum speed of 20 kn. Her gun armament was comparable with the ones used by most early-war destroyers, if not better. She, ORP Wicher, and few smaller Polish vessels managed to reject 5 German air raids and faced a long-range engagement with two Kriegsmarine destroyers, before being killed during the sixth raid. Not bad at all

looking at your screenshots (4th to 7th) you will notice that double 4.7in guns track the planes, whereas single guns of the same caliber (B and X position) don't. This looks a bit odd, but I will see if I can fix it by importing new guns in game

I will reduce and stretch out the raids to copy this

You can find all the details at the links and in the short abstracts of them that I have posted on this thread a while back.

I think you should fine tune the strenght of attacking german forces after we have finished setting the Polish taskforce with the new units

Bad news on the conversion of SHIII guns into GR2 objects. After a closer inspection, it turned that guns_radars_01.GR2 contains animations that are not handled by TDW's editor yet.

Goblin Editor not previewing them, misleaded me into thinking that my idea was easily feasible, but Granny Viewer has just given me the last verdict

Time to resume my work on the Wicher class destroyer, and let's hope TDW will unravel the puzzle of GR2 animations in the short turn

It can't manipulate them but it will read everything about them and rewrite it to the file. What seems to be the problem? Is it throwing an error? If so which file are you trying to view?

This is the error:

"Section 0's mixed values count was > 0 and it's pointers come before data"

and then...

"Failed to read section 0"

file is: data/Library/ShipParts/guns_radars_01.GR2

Oddly, guns located in the data/Objects/Guns folder are opened correctly....

EDIT

P.S: v 1.1.374.1 of the GR2 Editor

Yes you will get that error if mixed values count was >0 and it's a special GR2 file (I coded that in to prevent you from potentially totally corrupting the GR2 file). This is what I've been working on and is the reason why I pulled the link for the app. If you do anything to a GR2 file that has that with the app the app will totally corrupt it Hence the reason why the link no longer exists. There were also some other problems exposed by trying to load/save some civ5 GR2s that I have to work out (exposed errors/bugs I didn't even know existed in the app!).

I could still clone one of the GR2 guns located into the data/Objects folder, but they are used as U-boat equipment, and using them as AI ship's armament doesn't look correct to me since, at a first glance, their file structure looks much more complex, and they use a diffrent animation than "regular" guns ...

Yes - in most of these the class id is used rather than the type id.
The New Zealand one is also ok - in game we have NewZealand.

I have today gone through and fixed all these so that they will not longer show up in the validator after v2.2 is finished

I just added those classes errors (buoys, mines etc.) to validator's ignores..
Harbour Addition also has the similar classes errors..

Dawn 01/09/1939
ORP Gryf on mine laying duty in Danzig Bay



Out of the dawn silence, the Stukas start their screams
Polish AA fire adds to the chorus



Aeroplanes are soft against fast flying metal



From blazing fire to the frozen Baltic



Feed us more



Something is wrong - why does ne not BAIL!



Glory for the fatherland



Aeroplanes are cheap



Polish ships are strong and will fight on



Rate of fire is slowing



......



The last sigh
