[REL] Merchant Fleet Mod for Silent Hunter 3

iambecomelife · 06-08-10, 12:21 PM

One more thing: to those asking for an englishnames.cfg file, I deliberately chose not to have one because the ships will still display without it - it simply increases the risk that museum will CTD because of a misspelling.

I can provide one later after a stable version is uploaded.

Right now I am re-uploading to filefront because I can't use mediafire for free (maximum filesize for free accounts is 200MB). If anyone knows how to get subsim to host the mod, please contact me.

I did not know that. I thought it was necessary.

If there is some way to get me a copy I can give it a try. Other than that you can PM Neal and he will give you all the necessary information.

Version 3.2 has been uploaded. It removes the improved Liberty Ship, Empire Freighter, CAM-Ship, and T-2 Tanker to help prevent file conflicts & crashes. Also made a change to the CAM-Tanker's eqp file that causes crashes on some installations.

Skin Packs have not yet been re-uploaded. For now, please read the instructions carefully and try a fresh install if you are having problems.

I think that the englishnames.cfg is used by the recognition manual displaying the name of the ship, for example:
HSL=Hospital Ship will display "Hospital Ship", if no entry "HSL" will be displayed, however this is a only guess!

its used for displaying the vessel type names in the UI (periscopes or uzo), after identifying a vessel. This file was also often modded to prevent automaticaly displaying something in the UI vessel name field, if you turn your uzo or peri crosshair over a vessel, normaly out of visual sight.

Thanks for that, I stand corrected!

Hi IABL,

I downloaded the original version of this that you put up on Sunday night and had exactly the same problem extracting the files as everybody else, so i downloaded again and tried to extract again but the same file corruptions. This time instead of re-downloading the file i used a different extraction tool (7-Zip) instead of WINRAR and everything extracted fine.

I now have everything running OK in Museum and have created my own Englishnames.cfg and it all runs perfectly with no crashes. Maybe people are not using 7-zip to extract the files and this is the cause of the problems.

Steve.

I use 7zip and nothing else, so that's not the problem. Or at least not the only one.

Due to the fact that some of these post are old, I though I better ask first. I have read on many post in this thread that the " Englishnames " do not have to be added in order for MFM 3.2 to work, but I would like to add them anyway. In post #63 of this thread, is a list of entry's to be added to the " Englishnames.cfg " file. My question is : Is this list current, For MFM 3.2 ? If not could someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of an up-dated list. Thanx Jerry CA45 ( Baltimore Md. )
Dumb question alert ! is version MFM 3.2 the latest

Sailor Steve · 05-20-16, 11:27 PM

Englishnames.cfg controls how they appear in the Recognition Manual. Without it, the Manual will identify them as M24B etc. With PvtGodfrey's version the ships will all be identified as Medium Merchant, Tanker, and so on.

You can also try my version, which assigns class names so they look like real ship types. Of course it also helps if you use my Ship Names mod, which gives historical names to each ship you sink.
