Adding Ships and Convoys to the Random Leyer

Hi Archive1 you could add ships and convoys to LSH2022 but you would need a LSH2020 install to do the Campaign editing due to the Higher Restolution of LSH2022 the mission editor is unresponsive but it works using LSH2020 then just copy and paste your amended RND Leyer file to your LSH2022 install data campaigns/campaign folder i am in the process of writing a LSH2022 Campaign for the Steel Sharks Clan.


1. fire up the mission editor in LSH2020 then open the RND Leyer all the yellow diamonds are ship and convoy spawn start points.




2.Add random generated group right click then box pops up click add random generated group.



3. Give Convoy or ship a name (East Coast Convoy)



4. Set Convoy entry start date and end date convoy speed



5. Add ships to convoy if you are adding Escorts to convoy ensure you tick box position as escort
on destroyers and corvets ect set spacing and number of columns on first ship in convoy as that ship is convoy leader that should be set to 100% spawn propobility other ships can be set to different spawn probobility 25%-75% so convoys are random in size same for escorts.



6. The green circle on image below is East Coast Convoy spawning every 150 hours so it isnt spawning every six days at same time also at each waypoint along its route/course from southend to firth of fourth you can put radius circles so when convoy reaches that circle the convoy will spawn anywhere within that circle 30-40-50 kms in diameter and continue on its way to next way point so convoys/ships have a more random track along convoy or ship route.
Hope this helps you some to get more enjoyment from the LSH2022 Campaign
