These are generated by code automatically

IF and ONLY IF they are defined in the location file - in the right slot range - for locations.

EACH location MUST be defined with a hex column and row

IN ADDITION - the SAME HEX MUST be defined as land or coast in the pwhex.dat file
or you won't get a base to show (or if you define a base as a port and the hex is not coast,
the port will be greyed out and inaccedssable)

Both is done, I also took an existing slot for Buenos Aires... Ships in the port may sail, so all looks fine - but neither the base nor the ships in it (not even assigned fleets) are shown on the map.
Other scenarios in the same game show it, so it isn't a graphics mistake...

When an automobile engine won't start - it is because of one of three things:

there is no fuel

there is no air

there is no power

Same with WITP. It is something fundamental - and there are only three possibilities. No matter how confusing - investigate each until you figure it out. You WILL figure it out unless you quit before you do.
