Hey guys, as the title says, I am working on a new submarine for the game. Thing is, I've run into something of a problem.


After creating the relevant files, both vessel, and description, as well as signature and the profile photo...and then placing them in their proper places; I find that the submarine will not show.


This presents me with the question. What have I done wrong?


Edit:

Oh, some details about the submarine:

Uses the "Akula" shape like the 212a.

Speeds submerged: 32knots, Surfaced:18

6 forward torpedo tubes, 20 torpedoes/tlam/subroc/moss possible.

1 (game wise) vls launcher for 8 missiles, all anti ship type.

Based off of the Walter system propulsion wise.

Edit 2:

I can make it show up in the vessel reference...but not as a player ship.

Did you edit the mesh names?

Ah. No, I copied what was in the 212a's files and used it. That references this:

Quick note: The sub is based off of one in a novel I have been working on for a couple years now. The description gives some of her history, as it pertains to the story.

[Unit Reference]
ShipClass=Type XXVI
Description=Type XXVI Moljnir
History=The type XXVI U boat was a planned project to create a submarine which could travel at high speeds, while remaining submerged, using the Walter propulsion system. Of the class, as part of project Walküre (Valkyrie), only the first boat numbered 4501 was actually completed. Featuring a new VLS system which allowed the submarine to carry up to eight guided missiles, along with her usual complement of torpedoes; it was expected that the class would be able to finally break the back of the allied blockade. However, this was not to be. On July 19, 1944, Moljnir slipped from her hidden port and made a break for open waters. One day later, her lead designer, Gunther Voss was found dead in his Berlin apartment leaving behind a cryptic note that stated that "Moljnir now lay in the hands of the Valkyrie, who had taken her to Valhalla." It was believed, at the time, that the crew had mutinied, as part of the plot to kill Hitler, and were on their way to turn the submarine over to the allies. It is unknown if this is the case, as any information relating to the Moljnir is currently classified. To further deepen the mystery, from time to time, there have been reported sightings of the submarine over the years, with no nation laying claim to her presence.

/campaign/campaign###/summary.txt determines playable vessels (001 is '84 and 002 '64).

Thanks. Now the sub is able to be selected in the game, but the campaign crashes with no error. Not sure what's causing it, but I'll be poking around with it some to see what I may have missed.

Go into the config and set the campaign debug on load option to TRUE.

She's in the game now. Just need a few people willing to play her and let me know what they think. Requires the extra russian subs mod, fyi.
