Can you load the museum?

If so then it is a scripting fault and if not it may well be one of the models in MFM clashing with one already within GWX.

No, i was never able to load it. it is funny that when i tried single mission -"Happy times" everything was working, but there were no new MFM freighters so i tried a campaign, starting in 1939 and everything was working fine. I saw and sank new medium freighters and tankers. When going through all the posts i came across a method of enabling new ships to appear in convoys - and they did; although on map it said it is a neutral convoy (in late 1940) but on close inspection at least 5 ships were from UK. It seems to me that the fault must be in dates and neutrality because i always had CTD whenever i tried convoy battles in 1941(i.e. Freetown convoy) or campaigns from 1941 onwards

Convoy's take their status from the middle ship in the front row, so it does pay to check them all out.

[Jimbuna]

As HW3 states in the post above, the status of the convoy is derived from the lead ship in the centre column.

If the map shows a circle at any time then it has a submarine escort so don't be fooled by that one neither.

It sounds to me like you have a scripting fault/clash in naming between two or more units.

I'm sorry but that's all I can think of atm.

Ok I will try to solve it, although I am not sure that I will make it. HW# and Jimbuna , thanks anyway!

Hi folks,

I'm a very happy chappy right now as I managed to get this excellent mod working last night along with a one of the skin pack otpions and all my other must have (IMO) very heavy mods like FM interiors, St. Nazaire Super Pens v5.1 etc..

I've had a few CTDs along the way whilst experimenting and they turned out not to be related to this mod but another that I installed around the same time. I run windows XP 32 bit with /3gb patch and 4 GB of RAM. I'll post my currently activated mods list tonight, I'm delighted that I can now enjoy this excellent mod in all its glory. I think my current activated mods list including a few of my experimental mods is about 70 plus and includes a lot of BIG mods, not bad for 4GB of RAM.


Thanks for an excellent mod.

Best Regards

Aces

Hi,

I'm having some issues with loading saved games, and I'm trying to do everything I can to minimize any issues that might be causing it. So I'm trying to eliminate any files that could be unnecessary in the MFM download to minimize the loading burden.

So I have a couple a questions:

1. I noticed that there are generally 4 skins supplied for each ship. Is that the maximum amount? Also, do the file names for the skins have to be in the format XXX_T01.tga, XXX_T02.tga, etc? For example in AK01A there are skins called Navyblue.tga and Splinter.tga in addition to the four standard skins (like AK01A_T01.tga). Will they come up randomly just like one of the other four (so there will be a 1 in 6 chance for any particular skin) or are they just "extras" taking up space?

2. Just to confirm, the files that are absolutely necessary (+4 skins) for each Sea folder are:

.cfg
.dat
.dsd
.eqp
.sim
.sns
.val
.zon
en.log
fr.log
ge.log
shp.tga
sil.tga
T01.tga
T02.tga
T03.tga
T04.tga

Anything else can be eliminated?

Thanx for the help.

Hello!

Unfortununately I have to say that this mod simply will not play on my SHIII GWX 3.0. I have tried almost everything, but always with the same result.CTD, CTD , CTD Well, I guess I will only have stock GWX mrechants, which ar definetly better than stock SHIII merchants.

Good hunting!

[Wolfstriked]

Looks great,thanks.I love the big flags on the sides of ships.....WAIT don't shoot we from Holland. It reminds me of a question I always would think but forget to ask.Why didn't ships that were allied just run flags from other countries or run at night with their lights on all in an attempt to fool their attackers?Sorry to ask this in this thread but Do not wanna start anew one for a simple question.

Because if it becomes known that a belligerent nation is routinely disguising its own ships as ships from neutral countries, any ships that actually are sailing for those countries will lose the protection still afforded them by their homeland's neutral status. All ships that look "neutral" will be legitimate objects of suspicion and therefore potential targets. You'd be bringing their people and ships into the conflict against their will. At the very least it's not a good way to maintain friendly relations with countries who aren't involved in the conflict and with whom you may still need to do business.

It's also why you don't disguise a ship carrying war supplies or troops as a hospital ship. Hospital ships are off limits because they are assumed NOT to be furthering the war effort of any belligerent country. If you give the belligerent nations a reason to discard that assumption, every hospital ship becomes a suspicious vessel and you give both sides a justification to consider them potentially valid targets.
