Default how to add a ship to SH3?

Hello,
I play SH3 with Rub1.45
My computer is not powerful and does not allow me to add big mods like GWX.
In GWX, I would like to retrieve a particular ship, how can I add it to my current install?
What are the files to recover and what are the files to modify on my install?

Regards
Yves

You would need the following files...
Data > Sea > xxxxxxx plus ALL contents -(xxxxxxx) unit name
Data > Roster > Country > xxxxxxx.cfg - then place in your country of choice.
Data > Library > any extra files that the unit might need.

What unit are you looking at? is it SH3,SH4 or SH5?

Thanks s7rikeback,
I use SH3 with Rub 1.45.(with the help of JSGME, great tool)
I had already tried to recover ships from SH3 mods but my game crashes. (Memory, error?)
I decided to try with one ship and thanks to your explanations, I managed to add a mineraler (from GWX3 for example)
I also added the name of the ship to EnglishNames.cfg
On the other hand, for the library directory, I did not find anything for this ship. I believe that Librairie only concerns non-ship objects.
cordially
Yves

NB: your site is very complete!
Bravo

Hello,


Will my ships appear during a campaign or do I have to modify other files?

Regards

Yves

Newly added ships will appear at random times during the game. Unless of course you have added the ship to the campaign.mis files, you can then dictate where and when the ship will appear.

How this is done, I cannot help you with, but i'm sure someone will come along with the knowledge and explain in more detail.

Thank you s7rikeback, You reassure me. I was worried about adding ships just to create simple missions.
My interest is to find them during a campaign.

All advice and explanations are good to take.
(If it's not too complicated to explain how to add commercial traffic to a campaign)
