I hope so, because that sounds easy to fix. I have no idea how that stuff works. Maybe it's time I learned.

This may sound silly...... but..... Will this happen if any other mods are enabled ? Reason I'm asking is, it's possible but prolly unlikely that someone will only use Wilms, etc v.7. What do you chaps think ?. I'm still at work but when I get home (time dependant) I'll launch a career at the problematic time and port/flotilla mentioned.
Best regards. Fubar2Niner |

I just created a whole new SH3 setup and tested several permutations of the same problem.
GWX alone: no problem Wilhelmshaven v6: no problem Wilhelmshaven v7: problem. I'm hoping there's some fix for this out there, because v7 is much more accurate, at least where Kiel is concerned. I'll go back to v6 if I have to, but I'd really rather not.

I am going to continue investigating this. I am also going to post the issue on the V7 thread to see if anyone else has seen and/or solved this problem. /AK |

Very much appreciated by those of us not quite so savvy in the modding skills department.
Just out of curiosity, how did you happen to stumble on this in the first place? Kiel in 1941 doesn't seem like something one would happen upon casually.

I knew Fubar2Niner had issues with Kiel when originally using "New Lorient...Merged...V7". As I was creating a New Lorient for V7 with the GWX Standard Campaign files, I just wanted to confirm Kiel was still good. Picked new career at 1st U-Flotilla in 1941 just at random and things mushroomed from there. Now I do notice that the Laboe Memorial and Moltenort Memorial are both designated "German Naval Bases" in the Campaign_LND.mis file, but this is true of both the V6 and V7 versions, and we don't see the issue in V6. So the investigation continues ... /AK |

I might be getting closer to a solution. My understand is this new Keil base came from LSH3, and I think there are residual effects from LSH3 data that got merged into the V7 Campaign files that is causing this to happen in GWX.

Wow! I love it when serendipity strikes like that. Someone like me might have been playing for years and then suddenly had this come up and bite him.

I CAN FIX THIS !!!
Turns out the problem is when whoever added the new Kiel to GWX 3 Wilhemshafen … V7 from LSH3, they introduced a new departure point from Kiel. Up until 31-DEC-1940, you departed next to the U-Boat Tender. Beginning 01-JAN-1941, LSH3 players departed from a different part of the base located east across the bay from the Moltenort Memorial that LSH3 calls Kiel_2. PROBLEM IS … GWX knows nothing about Kiel_2. That, combined with the Laboe and Moltenort Memorials having location tags of “German Naval Base” (completely unnecessary) in the Campaign_LND.mis file, and after 31-DEC-1940, SH3 just got confused where to start Kiel and picked the closest German Naval Base it could find, which turned out to be the Moltenort Memorial tag. SO I CAN FIX THIS, BUT … I am not going to attempt to add Kiel_2 to GWX3 – there are too many variables and variants of GWX3 out there to try. I am not going to try and fix GWX 3 Wilhemshafen … V7 for the same reason. What I will do is apply this fix to all versions of “New Lorient” using “Wilhelmshafen. … V7”. I will remove the location tag references to Kiel_2, Laboe and Moltenort, and extend the location tag for Kiel to the end of the war instead of 31-DEC-1940. This means you will always depart from the U-Boat Tender whenever you depart from the new Kiel in Wilhemshafen … V7. Hope this is good enough. Cheers! /AK Last edited by Alfred Keitzer; 02-24-15 at 09:11 PM. |

Works for me!
I believe that would be Holtenau. The reason I like v7 so much is that Holtenau is located in the proper place. All other versions have it jammed right up next to the locks. Every time I look at a map of Kiel I grind my teeth over that.
