Patrol GRID 0?? Anyone know what this means?
Hello fellow Kaleuns!! I'm running my type XXI in 1939 and on the start of my second patrol I was told to patrol "grid 0". I just assumed it was like "NULL" and didn't think much of it.... until I loaded the game and saw that it said "incomplete"
next to reached and patroled. What gives? Any way to fix this or doesn't it matter?? Any help is appreciated. As always... good hunting! |

never had this problem before mate, are you running stock sh3 or grey wolves expansion. it could also be because of another program, like sh3 commander, but i have used sh3 commander without any problems. some one out there will know a fix, good hunting kaptain.

They want you to patrol beyond the "Great Northern Mystery Wall".

Pretty similar to an old thread I remember. Maybe you can make something out of it:

The early XXI mod omitted a few things (like year-appropriate torps). Somewhere in the boat's config file are some settings which will give you a real patrol grid. In any event you can set your own grid using SH3 Commander.

I'm running GWX 2.0 and do not have the Commander mod installed. Is there anyway to go into the .cfg files somewhere and fix this? (where would i go?) Or do it not really matter? Would it be better to start 1939 with a IXD2... at least then would I be assigned patrol grids in 1939?

How to force SH3 to give a Zero "0" Grid (Patrol Area) Hi All, How to force SH3 to give a Zero "0" Grid (Patrol Area). Not to confuse "0" with "NULL". Null - is intended, means You have to go to Homeport. 0 - is Nonsense, means something wrong in Flotilla.cfg, missing PQ-entry, and is not possible to reach since PQ (Planquadrat) 0 does not exist. This PQ 0 can be shown in unmodified SH3 with a XXI and a Base-Change. Since not all Bases have XXI-entries in all needed times. To fasten the following Test and make it reproducable a slighter Mod is taken. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Code : o Make a Backupcopy of your MyDocuments\SH3-folder. o Delete MyDocuments\SH3-folder. o Create a clean unmodified SH3 v1.4 (=v1.4b). o Create a JSGME-mod with Cfg\Basic.cfg and change 3 things, (this is for speedup to get to the wanted inGame-Date with the needed Boat). 1st: Renown needed for XXI - change Line 3460 "Renown1=30000" into "Renown1=250;30000" 2nd: Days spend GWKapselgeblase - change Line 3978 "DaysSpent=3" into "DaysSpent=456;3" 3rd: Renown for GWKapselgeblase - change Line 3987 "Renown0=500" into "Renown0=250;500" Activate this Mod. o Start New Career 1943 Bergen - now is 19430101. Go to UBoat-Equippment-EngineUpgrade - activate GW Kapselgeblase - now is 19440401. Go to UBoat-Equippments-UBoatupgrade - change UBoat into XXI - now is 19440429. Go back to MENU - Wait a minute - Let the Dates changed. o Start and immediate End Mission 3-times. (3 mission in-base needed before Base change possible.) o Logs/Telephone/Transfer to 1st Flotilla You get: "The Base was changed to: Brest". o Now is 19440625 - Try Start Mission. You get: "Grid (Patrol Area) 0" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The first useable Month a PQ-Grid for XXI in 1st Flotilla in Year 44 is shown on November 44, which is Nonsens since the Flotilla Ends on 19440930. So you have around 3 Month to play 3 Missions inbetween (not stop and End immediate Mission for Test) to get a chance to run into this. More or less the same for 2nd and 29th Flotilla. 7th, 10th and 12th OK. You may ask, what is this all about. Well, i'm struggling with Flotilla.cfg to find out whats going on. Greetings. Hebe Vollmaus Hope this helps.
