Why are the ships on land?

Install BOB with all the up dates into WOE. When I go to Anti_Ship, the ships are

moving down the city streets. When the target is destroyed it sinks into the ground.

Is there way I can get the ships to water?

 

Thanks

lol Bounder, I think what Fatman is talking about is the BOB mod here...

 

it's probably caused by missing or problematic shipping routes in the terrainname_movements.ini.

 

Most likely the former, all you have to do is take an application such as KMD and look at the grid numbers in the lower left corner and transplant the numbers into the movement.ini. Voila! You have ships in the sea!

There is a known problem with the terrain_movement.ini file that shipped with BoB v0.60 - completely my fault, sorry.

 

There is a quick fix posted in the BoB campaign feedback thread - I know, it's getting hard to find what you want. Here's the fix:-

OK, here's a quick fix to the "ships that sail on land" problem:-

 

Open up the Battle of Britain_movement.ini file in wordpad or notepad.

 

Scroll down to [Route007] and [Route008]

 

Cut and paste the following as replacements:-

 

[Route007]

RouteType=SHIPPING

StartArea=Port of Brighton

EndArea=Portsmouth Harbour

RoutePosition[001]=712000,570500

RoutePosition[002]=666666,570000

RoutePosition[003]=630000,562000

RoutePosition[004]=598000,570000

 

[Route008]

RouteType=SHIPPING

StartArea=Port of Le Havre

EndArea=Port of Cherbourg

RoutePosition[001]=727750,413000

RoutePosition[002]=578000,456000

RoutePosition[003]=540000,456000

 

 

Save your amended _movement.ini file.

 

Go and sink some ships

 

I will thoroughly overhaul the _movement.ini file for the next release, as we now have many more port facilities thanks to Gepard's hard work on updating his terrain. In the meantime, thanks for the bug report, keith.

 

If anyone else spots any odd behaviour, drop me a line.

 

Cheers,

This issue will be resolved when BoB v0.61 patch is released.
