File
New
Prompts you with a starting date and creates a new mission based on the date and
time entered. Sets the Editor to “Normal Mission” working mode.
Open (Normal Mission, Random layer, etc)
Opening a file completely loads the data in it, regardless of the type of file the
editor is should be looking for. It also sets the editor in the appropriate working mode.
Merge
Loads data from another file on top of the one currently displayed. The editor will
prompt you to set all data as “to be saved” or not. It is useful, when creating missions or
other files of limited scope, to merge the campaign data as “not save-able”, to avoid
unpleasant interferences between the campaign and mission data.
WARNING: File merging in editor can result in duplicated data.
Save
Simply saves the current, savable, data according to the current mode the editor is
working in. This may exclude some of the edited data. Before the actual saving takes
place, a validation check may be performed.
Save (Normal Mission) as
Checks for validation, then saves all data set as “savable” into a complete mission
file. In order to access the mission from within the game, the location will have to be:
- For single player missions:
GameInstallFolder\Data\SingleMissions\English
- For multiplayer missions:
GameInstallFolder\Data\MultiMissions\English
(The default Game Install Folder is
C:\ProgramFilesFolder\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII)
You will need to create a folder for your mission in that location, bearing the same name
as the mission file.
Note: Administrator privileges are required to properly access and save data in
the game folder. Please make sure you backup all data that you modify in the campaign
before overwriting it, or you may end up with an unusable install of the game.
