Great!


Also, if you can, please compile one folder with tables and documentation which I should implement into real nav documentation for TWoS. I already created one but I'm concerned that I may mess up something and place outdated tables ect...


Please tell me which tables would be the most useful to be available in the game charts section as well. Right now I have 7 free slots for charts but that can be increased to 11 if necessary...

Here is a link to the folder where I put the actual tables for inclusion in the documentation: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...bD?usp=sharing

First of all, I would make available in the game: "[3] Culminations of stars (SH5)", "SH5 navigational stars (rev.2021)", "SH5 Latitude by Polaris".

Thank you vary much, working on it right now...


I'll also try to see what is going on with that YS new sextant mod, why CDTs and what's wrong.

I did not include the polaris.txt and stars.txt files in this folder with which it is necessary to replace the corresponding files of the new sextant mod from YS. Maybe later they should be implemented directly into the assembly, after the compatibility problems of TWoS and SH5NewSextant mod are eliminated.

I tested YS New Sextant mod both in v2.2.9 and 2.2.10 versions and those CTDs on initial single mission/campaign gamesave loading are present there as well. Debuger reports that CTDs are caused by some errors in .py scripts., pretty much the same as in the latest TWoS version...


However, once the game is loaded it seems that there are no further gameplay and stability related problems, just as you said in your video...
I'll investigate this further but I'll probably need help from someone with pyton scripts knowledge .




The tests are done both with and without your polaris/stars.txt enhancement, it seems there are no difference there...

Yes, stars.txt, polaris.txt are reference files that are accessed by the program, but they themselves do not affect the operation of the code.

Hey Alpheratz,


I exchanged few messages wit YellowSubmarine and he gave me few advises how to solve CTD issues.


Please try this updated version of New sextant mod and tell me are those CTDs on gamesave/mission loading eliminated. I added your Polaris and stars tweaks to the mod as well... It seems that it works for me...
