[Nobon]

Yes, as I already said, I found it in the Museum, "medium PassAnger ship" and it was rendered ok...

Still, then and after It was a PERSISTENT error, no matter how much times I reloaded and restarted the game. (I only use"museum" after a full restart, and vica versa with the normal game, I don't swicth between them neither.)

Was, as I fixed it/ though by the written/unwritten logical rules of bugtracking I haven't got enough information to state that it's 100
percent that the modified line was the actual fix. Need to revert it,
load, make another new save, load that, and need to try to reproduce
the error... Then it will be 100%. But since you are saying it should be
a very rare, very minor glitch, I might leave this to one of my dayoffs.

Also I need to pinpoint WHERE is the original information the savegame typo (if it WAS a typo) was created from, and change THAT. As without that, it is just a one time savegame fix...

-----

So what I did:


at CampaignMission.mis at my save directory I had only two "passAnger" ship, and one was an american. This was the only British:

[Group 432.Unit 6]

And at data I found only one reference in files to a "big modern passAnger" :

;************ The End ************

So what I did>

I realised that the one at the savegame had a _ before it's name. The other, American Passanger ship by SteelViking had the same _, but that seemed ok., but the British one had this one difference compared to the /data directory british file, so I removed the _ before the name, saved the savegame mis file, then reloaded the save. Same error:

At a distance, there seem to have a 3-4 tone grey texture, but as before, when I went closer, to like 2 kilometers, it changed to pitch black, when the other ships gained detailed textures.


Then I made another save, the mis file on the new savegame is RETAINED the change I made, no _ at the ship's name, and that time, when I reloaded the new save, the ship HAD normal textures.

I'm sure that this is the ship in question, as other ships in the same group seemed the ones I saw, and heading was accurate aswell.

So again> to state that the modification caused the fix, I need to take those bugtrack steps backwards I already wrote here- until that I can only be 60% sure.. Well it surely didn't broke anything, and actually I modified a full reference... But who knows until I track it back...

This is where I'm standing now.

ISSUE number 2:

I activated Sober's old no footsteps mod at the bottom of the mod list, but I still have loud footsteps and a loud sonarman when I try to listen to the hzdrophone... Any suggestions how to get rid of these?
