Default [REL] Linerkiller's Merchant Pack

Hi all
This mod add some 40 merchants and tankers to the Jap roster. The units are part of the Merchant Fleet mod of Iambecomelife
and ported by some wilful people into sh4.

Please take note that my only work had been pack the ships into a jsme ready folder. SO all the credits must go to Iambecomelife
for the original mod.

I also included three ships from the Russian roster of Operation Monsun. Credits for these three ships goes to Lurker.

Since this mod dont touch in any way the campaign files, it should be compatible with every mod, but if someone will notice
sudden problems or ctds after enabling it with JSME, it could also be removed without problems.

KNOWN ISSUES:
-The reflections of the ship on the water are terrible...but it's not my fault, and then you 'll notice it only if you go very close to the ship using the external camera and only when the sea is flat. Fixing them is a work well beyond my (scarce) abilities .
-They dont take damage like the SH4 stock ships, but also this is a problem you wont notice unless going very close with the external camera.
As usual, i dont accept any responsibility for any nuclear explosion caused by the use of this mod...
Prepare for the worst...and you can expect the best!


now prepare for the best:-)
I tried to delete all the "civilian" skins from the ships folders, but I'm not 100% sure I did it properly,
so if you spot a Jap ship with a civilian skins or some Us-or neutral markings TRY TO SINK HER and report immediately
the name of the unit. To do so with ease I named each ship with a number.( es Freighter 1...ecc)

DONT FORGET to add the ship names you'll found in the Readme to Ubisoft/SH4/Data/Roster/Names.cfg under the "Sea" column

DOWNLOAD HERE:
(file deleted)

Hope you'll enjoy it
Commander Linerkiller

Excuse my ignorance, I am rather new to this game, what does this mod exactly do? Does it add Ships to the campaign or do I have to make special missions to play against them? Or is it a modder's resource file "only" to be used in other bigger mods?

This mod add ships to the game. These ships will spawn randomly in single missions and campaign. For the moment i only added the Japanese roster so they will appear only under Japanese flag

The files do not seem to extract properly. When I attempt to extract with 7-Zip I get a "File Is Broken" error on 149 files. Win-Rar states "File Is Corrupt" on 150 files.

Gee, many thanks! It is awesome that SH4 has such an open structure that allows adding units rather easily.


And yes, the file is damaged.

If you download and the file extracts fine, then let us know what program and version you are compressing it with. I also get 149 broken files. Maybe there is something incompatible here.
