Under_dog, not sure what you're asking for here- are you building a single mission or working on the LND layer? That file has the locations of all the buildings, ports, cities, etc- anything on land.

You might want to PM Rubini, he's developed some nice harbor traffic and he could probably answer your questions better.

Try the "SH3 Mission Designers' Forum" at:

Normally you will see the ports by zooming in.

They are visible in every layer. SCR, LNF and RND layer.

Use the mousewheel, or the + key to zoom in.

Im building a single player mission and trying to add docked shipes to ports. Ive tried zooming in that does not work. I've loaded the Campain_LND.mis and i zoomed in on a port and i still get no picture of the port.

Do you use the standard RND/LND/SCR layers to build your single mission upon ?

So what DO you see when you zoon in to for instance Wilhelmshaven ? Maybe you can even include a screenshot.

Do you see anything else in the world when using the mission editor ? Units ? Waypoints ? Bases ? City Names ?

I would include a screen shot if i could figure out how When i zoom in on the ports i see a up side down green T thats it. I have tried useing the RND/LND/SCR files to build my maps before. Yes i do see Units/Waypoints/Bases /City Names/ but only when i use the RND/LND/SCR files. Thanks for your help sow far ill get the screen shot as soon as i can.

Please check the directory:

......\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\MissionEditor\L ocations\

Does it contain 33 tga files that resemble the ports ?

[under_dog6]

[Drebbel]

Looks like it :-)

My Sh3MissionEditor.exe file is from saturday 26 februari 2005, 16:35:32 and is 450.560 bytes.

When the file names/directory names are incorrect the editor does not crash but simply does not dispaly the harbors.

Lets do a check, just to be sure. The Alexandria directory+filenameon my system is:

....\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\MissionEditor\Locations\HB_Alexandria.tga

Make sure you line is exactly the same.
