wolf_howl15 Merchant Fleet mod (Onealex mod version)

First and foremost credits go out to Iambecomelife and Rowi58 for their ship models and to Von Dos, CapZap and Fifi for their hard work and contributions to the mod. CapZap redone all the recognition manual pictures which are a big improvement from the previous version of the mod that had dark silhouette pictures for the MFM ships. Von Dos measured every single MFM ship model from their .dat files and gave me the corrected dimensions for the length, draft and mast which I corrected accordingly based on his findings. Also searchlights were removed from all capital warships (battleships, carriers, heavy, light & axillary cruisers) and merchants (liners, troop transports, oilers & tankers, freighters and cargo ships), the only vessels that have searchlights are escorts (destroyers, frigates, corvettes & sloops) and coastal patrol craft/warships. This will make engagements and convoy battles much more realistic and historical when you play.



This is only to be played with the Onealex mod compilation or GWX 3.0 gold as they are the ones I tested this with and I can't guarantee compatibility with other mega mods. I completed several patrols during every year of the war with various U-boat types and all seemed fine sinking many different ships from it, its stable save-wise. If people feel the Onealex compilation has enough ships as it is then that's fine and totally understandable if you don't want to use this.

Install instructions
Simply download the Community units addon folder and copy it to the 'MODS' folder, enable with JSGME. Only load it at base before starting a new patrol, never add/remove the submod in the middle of a patrol or it may cause your save game to be corrupt.

Ship names file so it gives names of sunken ships in your patrol log of SH3Commander

Ok let me update the link, try now. I removed the T13A and T17A because had American flag on side of hull even when hostilities starts with America and I don't like that its like 'hey look at me i'm enemy...shoot me'. I also added Converted Transport and Heavy Merchant 03 from NYGM MFM pack, I had to remove M31X because my trick of using the skins from M31B and putting them into the M31X folder and renaming them to M31X didn't work out so well lol so I removed that ship too, 53 total ship models in all now working fine so far with Onealex mod.

yes i will review your links and test ... when i do an overwrite i always do a backup. now the structure of your file is not adapted to Jsgme (data) ... you have to build it yourself ... but by the way I had ctd my install is fresh last update always with OneAlex besides that produced a fantastic job and always updated that of toyotagt86 I love it for the interiors besides this one does not seem to fascinate the crowds .. yet a hell of a job is done ..

Okay yes thanks for clarifying, it was removed accidently as I updated the main MFM 3.3 Lite link, it is up now the SH3 commander ship names file.

Both links have been updated as of today Nov 15, if MFM 3.3 Lite is still not working for you after you test then i'll investigate further. Does it crash during a patrol or won't even let you start one?

Hey Kal, ever think of joining us on the Onealex discord and getting involved with our Battle of the Atlantic mp roleplay campaign? Yes you too Andrey, you should get involved too if you can spare the free time. If anything it will bring the community closer together and hey you can still play your 'personal' campaigns on the side.

Okay I will do some test careers at different times in the war and give you feedback, last time it all worked but since then there's been a new release of Onealex mod and I haven't even had time to play myself between helping run this Online Battle of the Atlantic mode with Alex and taking care of my aging father. Can you be more specific, did it crash before stating a patrol or mid-patrol?
