Where did you get the lit ships mod? I've been looking for a while and can't find it.

Nice shots.

They are not a mod as a whole but individual ships

I've yet to do a Resupply Run. How do you dock at the Supply Ship?

Do I get to have a huge feast like in Das Boot and Joke around with the Merchant Crew??? LOL

Just press Esc and End Mission within a certain distance to supply ship then dock at **** just the same as you would for home port

Well the feast was there but the merc crew too busy rearming and fuelling my boat :rotfl: :rotfl:

IIRC I put some pointers about how to add them to Rosters in the C2 download
You will also have to change the .scr and .rnd to see them properly
Its a lot of work adding them to nations which switch from neutral to Allied\Axis
Maybe your best bet is to add them to the purely neutral countries - the ones that stay neutral throughout the war
Its a lot less work believe me

Im hopefull they will all be included in the next GWX

Thanks for the tips. I was just reading through your pointers. Looks like a lot of work but fairly straightforward. Any traps for young players I should know about? Did you use anything special to edit the RND files or just a plain old editor?

Plain old notepad
Usual rules apply - always back up your original in case of error - the slightest thing wrong in the rnd and scr will lead to CTD
And only carry this out when in port - never mid patrol

Thanks again. I've just finished configuring a few countries and can see them all in the Museum. I'm one happy puppy. Now to add some to the ports and single ships (don't really want to see them in convoy as I don't think it would be very reaslistic) to see what I can see.

BTW they look fantastic thanks a bunch Anvart!

OK I've got my Lit ships showing in the Museum and have had a look at the RND and SCR files, but am unsure how and where I put the new ship names to keep them out of convoys but in Harbours like your Vigo scrnshts. You're examples show how to add them to the RND which from what I can see puts them in convoys only. I'm confused

Ah I've found some of the scripted boats and have changed them to lit. Still not sure of the RND locations though.

Here is the GW.rnd with no lit ships in convoys - hopefully :rotfl:
There are still neutrals in convoys but they are unlit

Back up your current .rnd and put this one in its place
Make sure you are back in port before doing

Regards the .scr layer
The GW.scr has 8 convoys in ( 88,92,93,97,and 99 thru 102 ) all Italian
The stock .scr has none

Much obliged BBW. I'll give it a go and see if I can see the lights!
