[REL] Converted "USS Long Island" from SH5

[rowi58]

Hi folks,

this ship was originally build for SH5 and converted to SH3 by rowi58, using the famous tool “GR2-Exporter” by “privateer”. Thanks “privateer”. A original photo of the “USS Long Island”:

In game, it looks like this:

All files you need are added (guns are Stock SH3 guns), so you will not have any problems. This ship was not made for a specific SH3-Super-MOD – so it will run with all kind of MODs. All you need is embedded in this MOD . The files “ship_planes.dat” and “ship_planes.zon” are taken from SH4. (Have a look at the “Buffalo” in the elevator.)

Just add the name you want to see with this ship to your “data/Sea/EnglishNames.cfg” or to “data/Sea/GermanNames.cfg”.

Credits goes to:
- privateer for his “GR2-Extractor tool”
- skwasjer for his “S3D”
- sanal for his “Pack3d” (I’ll allays use it)
- ChristianMaas for his “XVI32 HexEditor”
- and the “open-source-league” for their famous programs.

That a U.S. flag? :hmmm:

SH5 unit fail. You'd think the devs would know better than that.

That a U.S. flag? :hmmm:

That is the british white flag with the red cross and the union jack.

[USS Sea Tiger]

Whay a great addition, One of my favorite ships!.

Would you be upset if I added F2a's to her deck??

[Madox58]

More Great work by my friend!
:rock:

As today is my birthday?
I consider this a gift Mate!
:salute:

[rowi58]

:oops: I'm a little bit to late: happy birthday! And - yes, it is a british flag. Most of my screen shots are from "test missions". And some times i'm testing ships within Argentina or Belgium, but most before war (so it is a british ship - better to attack and sink her). Yeah, it looks a little bit funny :haha: .

But it is the best way to test new units in game.

Hi USS Sea Tiger,

you can add every plane you want, because all planes on deck/hangar/below deck are directed by the EQP file. Just change the LinkName of the EQP nodes:

----


[Equipment 16]
NodeName=P01
LinkName=US_AVE
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

[Equipment 17]
NodeName=P02
LinkName=US_AVE
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

[Equipment 18]
NodeName=P03
LinkName=US_Fighter
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

[Equipment 19]
NodeName=P04
LinkName=US_AVE
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

----

to that plane you want to see on deck, elevator (it is number P03) and below deck (it is number P04). But you must have this planes (you want to see) in a DAT file in the roster "data/Library".

[nikbear]

Whats the correct title to put into “data/Sea/EnglishNames.cfg” for this ship:06:

[SquareSteelBar]

RTFM:

...Just add the name you want ti see with this ship to your “data/Sea/EnglishNames.cfg” or to
“data/Sea/GermanNames.cfg”... ;)

[rowi58]

Whats the correct title to put into “data/Sea/EnglishNames.cfg” for this ship:06:

For example:

CVELongIsland=Long Island Escort Carrier

Greatings

[nikbear]

Thank you rowi58,just wanted to make sure I use the correct classification :salute:

[rowi58]

Hi nibear,

hope it helps.:salute: As the USS Long Island (Escort Carrier) was a single unit, i didn't think about a "classification name". I thought, "Long Island" is "Long Island". Sorry, my mistake.
