Hmm
Found the problem. The shortcut didn't have a path in the "starts in" section so it couldn't find the .cfg file. I added a path and now it works :-)

It appears that I merged Save Scripted Layer As... Scripted Layer? I found SH3 in my documents/data/cfg/Sh3MissionEditor.log when opened shows 300 warning: Unit Duke of York too close to the unit Duke of York (current distance 0.0, minimum 300.0) Same for every stationary ship in game. Game would not Initalize,suspect frame rate over load,just a guess.Can editor changes be reversed? If there saved files in the editor?Where?I have a virgin Silent Hunter III/data/Campaigns/Campaign/Campaign_SCR.mis file.If needed?

Hmm, the only reason it can not work is if you don't specifically open and save Campaign_SCR.mis as a Scripted Units Layer. That is, don't use the "open" and "save" commands - always use "Open Scripted Units Layer" and "Save Scripted Units Layer As". It should then work.

Those "errors" that you get are not actually errors. They have been in the game out of the box and don't really cause any problems.

Where is this Kiel canal? I installed the canal mod but don't see it in the game. I created a mission starting there, but see no change to the area nor the map.

HW3 · 03-01-06, 08:06 AM

Are you zoomed in close enough on the map? It only shows on the close in zoom levels.

Dear CCIP,

You are the man.I count you as a friend,helpfull to a fault,Officer,Gentleman & Judge of fine wine.Your assistance w/Subsim's forum,is like-un-to;a savings acct.,it will draw interest, and allow your kindness to enlighten,to enrich your life & others also.Many thanks, I am underway to patrol grid, transit, canal is still there, no ships,suggest ships:should only be in backwater sideings, for easy plotting,canal is to narrow most of the distance.Building graphics, would also be nice,there must have been a town on the canal,but I suspect may not be possible in editor.I would have thought,it would be an editor option,to delete changes.Now I know to save origional, before overwrite.BTW-I have saved virgin data file is that where you got the--data\campaigns\campaign\camcaign_SCR.mis you sent for fix?
I truely,am gratefull for,and you have earned my respect w/your helpfull persistance in this delima.Although many in the know, might have shared. Explaining that which you don't have knowledge of, is difficult,my spelling,is a D-,typeing is H&P,People skills,well let me say,I am not a diplomat.It took Two hrs.compose this letter which I will add to thread in mission designers forum.

How do I open harbour files in the mission editor? Lock Ewe is pissing me off, and I want to see if there is mines all over. (Which it feels like)

Just open the SCR file and look at the harbor in question. The minefields are shown as rows of circles.

Dont forget to alter the dates along the top to when you want otherwise you will see the minefield from 38 to 45 - they change by years

You can also click on the minefield on map and click the timeline button - near hand button ( 5th button from left ) - to see the actual date and time the minefield will be in a certain place

Thank you!

Silent FS 74 · 11-27-06, 04:06 PM

When you place a naval base, are you supposed to see something in game or
is it just a map reference.

Thanks

bigboywooly · 11-27-06, 04:12 PM

Its just a map reference
To see a port ingame you will need to add it to locations.cfg

Try this is unsure how to do that
May help
