[REL] Battle of Midway Campaign Layer Fix v0.5 - Page 3

I bet I know what the issue is with that. Doh!

The invasion force contained a few "patrol boats" to be left at Midway once they took it. I used subchasers. I might If I opened it with my subchaser/minelayer changes, it would have been placed as "type=1" which would blow up the editor.

I bet that is it. I will have a look in a little while.

Thanks!

Fixed.

Thanks for the heads up!

It's working now!

What do you think: should we add a new message to "messages.txt".
Now we get a message on 1942.05.30:
BE ADVISED JAPANESE NAVAL FORCES STEAMING TOWARDS MIDWAY AREA X ALL PATROL VESSELS REQUESTED TO INTERCEPT X

We could change it to more precise orders (go to coordinates xy on date xy)

Even more, we could add a new mission to \Data\Campaigns\Campaign\PatrolObjectives
... similar to, let's say, Sink Celebes Sea. :hmm:

Yeah, that would be a good idea.

Actually, that method would work for real ULTRA type stuff which was frequently VERY precise. Ie: "IJN CVE with 4 escorts to meet with CruDiv4 at Lat/Long midday October 15. Will proceed to Kavieng."

I am in port! I said that originally, because I know when the campaigns load. I still get crashes.

If you aren't running the latest version it'll crash since it asks for
(my mistake) the subchasers to be "type=1"
