If you have OH II last - does this still happen?
Is this the light version?

This warning happens when the unit number is wrong in the roster v sea folders
From Roster:-
ClassName=KMSSHogIsland
UnitType=104

From Sea-cfg:-
ClassName=KMSSHogIsland
3DModelFileName=data/Sea/NKMSS_HogIsland/Hog_Island
UnitType=104



@Magic - it is ok to put OH II last.
As I have tried to say - it is working with TDWs mods.
As TDW updates his mods - it will be apita keeping OH II last.

Hopefully TDW will double check the conflict files as he updates his mods so that they will for sure be ok to install after.

Passing Gibraltar is now mission impossible indeed, 2 fps.. and what is strange, when I pause the game everything runs nice and smooth again.
I started new campaign (MareNostrum; had to choose this one because the first one crash after loading and HappyTimes during loading screen - I cannot play any of these two) and had no problems at Lorient harbour. But first thing to do is make my way to Mediterranean - and here I am, since entered the passage everything at TC>0 is totally unplayable for me

back to testing now

edit:
..and ctd; I can't use my save (close to Gibraltar), crashes instantly after loading.

same with WesternAproaches and ArcticConvoys. What is so special about these docks?

Back in action. First of all, thanks everyone for testing and reporting problems.

As far as I see, most of the problems are related to stuff added to the campaign, not to the campaign itself. Conflicts with other mods, low fps, ships acting weird with missing nor bad textures, missing flags .. all reports are linked to the full version, no problems reported on the light version.

We worked extremely much on this mod and seeing that all problems are related to stuff that are not under our control, I think the best solution is that the final version should have all these new units removed from the campaign pack.

There is already a separate mod for the new imported ships, not sure what should I do with the environmental units. So far there are problems only with the mines, right? No problems with the dolphins and icebergs. If so.. maybe I should keep only few mines near the harbors and a small pack in Gibraltar. We cannot give support and solutions for problems that are not under control.

So there isn't any flags for them either (I added additional flags to the mod, but not to these countries).

Rongel, all these Free nations are in the roster. Remember the chat we had by PM with Gap when the roster and defside.cfg was created. He suggested to use these Free nations because indeed, there were a lot of ships sailing under swedish, norway, polish etc flags while their country was under german occupation. If you have time to fix this problem, please be so kind and do it.

Good to see you back Zedi,
Hope you had a good break

Its just my oppinion but i think the low fps people are getting near the minefields, may be due to conflict with other mods and not a problem of your mod itself, because my rig is 4 years old and i passed the minefield near helgoland and i had no fps drop. I play with everything maxed, so either is mod conflict related or some people are playing with some fossil rigs lol.

I tried all sorts of combinations and my game is running smooth with full OHII but one thing that killed it which is sad as it is such a great mod is Steel Vikings Interior Mod 1.2 which either slows game right down or does not allow everything to render properly. I dont use Magnum Opus which has it included.

Just my experience.

would also help if you could post your JSGME mod list together with your rig`s spec`s

you know we have allready a very huge mem and maybe performance eating content list with all the mods aviable, so the question is who can take what with the current rig, even if all is installed in the right order...

yes i heared about that problem some time ago, was it a fixed part of Magnum Opus and if so, plz explain how you removed it.

EDIT: i just discovered "Remove Steelvikings shadow mod=28" in your mod list, where to get it ?

Okay, I'll fix the missing nations soon!

It might be a good idea to drop the imported ships, if we can apply them separately. That is a quick way to make the mod more stable. I haven't seen any problems with icebergs, or dolphins.

Thats the plan. I really hate to get bad reports on stuff not related to our work. We reworked the campaign, not the ships, mines etc! Thanks.

...just converted some of the still uncompressed ship textures (normal maps to DXT1, ship textures to dxt5) together with some reduced occlution maps (down to 512x512) from the Imported Ship Pack 1.1 (which is part of OHII currently).

result is 50mb less video mem consumption and slightly better performance.
