[REL] Open Horizons II

[SkyBaron]

I might have found the solution for the TypeII problem! It seems that a crash happens if the TypeII is declared as a "docked ship", I opened the TypeII layer on the mission editor and added 2 waypoints to both TypeII's inside Kiel and deselected the docked ship option and voilà! I could start a new Total_Germany career without crashes.

Just don't ask me why this happens!

As you can all gather there is something wrong with the OHII
Does anyone get this ctd with OHII on its own - I know that Captian73 gets it wil IRAI and DrJones UI

Doing a few quick checks tonight I have found a layer that is wrong and will be placing UK DDs in the Danzig bay - this is an error and will be removed.

As for the ctd - has anyone sunk a Polish unit and not CTD?


Re-lifeboat error - not sure I will check on this soon

Sorry I cant spend more time tonight - I will be back tomorrow

Yes I've have sobers mega-mod list loaded up. It takes 15 minutes to start the game, then when I try to start a new campaign it try's to load then exits to the u-play screen. It's very nerve racking. Hopefully a fix can be found. I also made sure to skip the tutorial at the start.

Hi SkyBaron

Thanks for the solution found

Hi Trevally

If I have already installed this mod, do I still need any fix?

Sure. Just copy this to the Total_Germany folder, and make sure you have Total_Germany.pj without the TypeII layer commented out.

I just did this for the Kiel harbor, maybe if you approach other harbors with docked TypeIIs there will be a crash.

Try to start a new campaign and see if it works. It's working here, tested many times.

I did some tests..
Well, seems everything fine with Polish ships and Baltic Operation (new view)..

See below -

. . .

Baltic Operation completed -




I came to the Danzig Bay on the night of August 31 to September 1.. dived to 30 meters.. up to periscope depth at 6 AM.. the whole Bay was full by British destroyers.. two German Schleswig-Holstein were near the Hela (is this OK?).. one Polish sub (at least I think that was Polish sub).. then several Polish DDs were spawned near the Danzig.. status - docked.. it was just a massacre ..

Maybe they were getting ready for this attack (Battle of Hel):

German naval units, including old battleships Schleswig-Holstein and Schlesien, shelled the Hel peninsula from 18 September, but with little effect

...or they are standing in for the two destroyers Z1 Leberecht Maass and Z9 Wolfgang Zenker (see below)

That was possibly one the 5 Polish submarines taking part into Worek Plan:

By that date, there should be only one Polish destoyer, ORP Wicher (the other Polish destroyers having set off for Britain on 29 Aug in what is known as Peking Plan), and it shouldn't be at dock near Danzig (from where she had sailed, bound for Hel, together with 1 large minelayer, 6 small minelayers, and 2 patrol vessels in what became known as the Battle of Danzig) but operating off Hel, where she was supposed to cover a (cancelled) minelaying operation. On 2 September Wicher returned to Hel and discovered that the operation had been called off. On 3 Sept, while still at dock, she faced successfully an attack by two German Z1934-Class destroyers and 2 air raids, but later that day she was sunk by a third air raid.

Maybe it might have something to do with CTD and Polish ships....?

Problem went away when SH5Lifeboats_by_Rongel_TDW_stoianm_v2.1 is installed for me.

New update:
Why is Poland the only **Country** in the OHII v2.1 data\roster\**Country**\sea folder to have LifeBoatLarge.cfg and LifeboatSmall.cfg? (no other mods installed for testing).

Could these be the cause all of CTDs? Hasn't mods been created in the past that creates lifeboat survivors once the main ship is destroyed?

Coincidentally, these LifeBoat**name**.cfg files in OHII v2.1 have the same file dates (about 5/06/2011) as LightmapTextureName=data/Sea/NLifeBoat The mod SH5Lifeboats_by_Rongel_TDW_stoianm_v2.1 has most countries listed in the folder data\roster\**Country**\sea using LifeBoatLarge.cfg and LifeboatSmall.cfg files.

SH5Lifeboat_Wooden ver. 0.2 only uses LifeBoatLarge.cfg with dates around 03/13/2013 for most countries listed in data\roster\**Country**\sea.

The lifeboat**.cfg file are missing the files referenced inLightmapTextureName=data/Sea/NLifeBoat****etc. Added SH5Lifeboats_by_Rongel_TDW_stoianm_v2.1 mod and now SH5 validator has less errors, 2 were lifeboat***.cfg line # 7 issues.Time to run a game and see if it loads with less mods installed.

Sank a V & W destroyer for baltic operations, Sep 2, 1939 and no CTD.

Shorter modlist at least got my game loaded for first time at v2.1. Hopefully SH5Lifeboats_by_Rongel_TDW_stoianm_v2.11 fixes CTDs for others that have talked about lifeboats.
SH5Lifeboats_by_Rongel_TDW_stoianm_v2.11 fixed errors in my validator log now that I finally understood what what was missing. Post right before this one explains it.

I fixed other errors stated in past recent posts from SH5 validator log,too.

All were found in various campaign.cfg. could be from larger mod soup. Later to test what mod was causing game not even to load.

Hello guys, I just downloaded OHII and now playing baltic mission, then something strange happened to me. I have sunk 2 polish ship, 1 sweden ship, and yet the mission still says "0 ship sunk". Here is the screenshot http://puu.sh/2HXc7.jpg

Hi Scümbagfuhrer

As far as we know there are only a few options for why this may happen.

If you have patched your exe with TDWs patcher - do not apply the orbiter fix
The ships sunk are not within or the correct type for the campaign - yours look ok
You must also launch your game with the uplay launcher (no cracked exe)
