German Light Cruiser Karlsruhe

[SquareSteelBar]

Hi mates,

More than one year ago Commander1980 released his 'GermanCL Karlsruhe' based on Sergbuto's 'Southampton'.
I like this ship but I always missed the plane on the catapult. So I tried many times to insert the 'Arado' but always without success. At last I've got the final inspiration and managed to install that plane on the 'Karlsruhe'. This is an update of my previous release v2.0 because I forgot to consider the users of Serg's 'SouthamptonMod' which I for myself never used. I've renamed all files, also the .tga files embedded in the 'NCL_Karlsruhe.dat', so now it's possible to use separate skins for the 'Karlsruhe'. For compatibility I've also changed the test mission files which were originally created by Commander1980 for his original release.
Have fun with it!

GermanCL Karlsruhe v2.1 (http://mpgweb.de/downloads/index.php?act=view&id=1005)

This mod is determined as a bridging until Sergbuto will release his announced 'Kriegsmarine Mod' which will likely include a new 'Karlsruhe'.

Thanks go to Commander1980 and Sergbuto.

Greetings,

SSB or anyone that can answer this for me,

I already have the southhampton folder in my sea folder and "CLSouthhampton=Southamp...." in the english names. when I go to copy this into my sea folder-it asks me for overwrite--will this and also placing "CLSouthampton=Karlsruhe light cruiser" into the english names erase the Hampton from the british?

Also is this similar to the light cruiser Konigsberg?

[AG124]

I'm surprised it has been given the same name as the Southampton.:-? You may want to try giving all of the necessary files another name (just make sure you are consistent). NCL_K or NCL_Konigsberg for example. Also, open the .cfg file and change the class name to something similar. I don't know if this vessel has to be cloned to work with the Southampton - if you have Pack3d, open the .dat and click 'clone.'

[U-snafu]

Don't have Pak3d (or time to learn it right now) so not an option:nope:

Are you saying It could work with just renaming the main sea folder "NCL_Southampton" to say "NCL_Karlsruhe" and then renaming all the headings of the sub-files from NCL_Southampton to NCL_Karlsruhe along with the CFG roster file and changing the class name to Karlsruhe??


Edit: I just found out that the third unit name under the CFG file of Karlsruhe is Konigsberg so since I already Have that ship from the Uwac mod--it's a moot point-sorry for wasting your time AG124

[AG124]

Don't worry about it - as long as you have a working copy for yourself.:up:

[SquareSteelBar]

Hi U-snafu,

sorry for late reply. All files have been cloned and so it's possible to use both ship synchronously - but like AG124 mentioned, you have to rename all files [maybe 'NCL_Karlsruhe'] and to create a new folder with this name. Also you can use the 'Königsberg' [as I do].
I released it as 'Southampton' because the original mod of Commander1980 was released in this way. I'll do an update for all those ones who use the British 'Southampton'.

Greetz,
SSB


P.s.: there's also another reason to release it still as 'Southampton': Commander1980 released his original mod in addition with a test single mission [named 'Kreuzergruppe'] which wouldn't work anymore if you rename the files.

Hi mates,

I've updated my previous release v2.0 to v2.1 because I forgot to consider the users of Serg's 'SouthamptonMod' which I for myself never used. I've renamed all files, also the .tga files included in the 'NCL_Karlsruhe.dat', so now it's possible to use separate skins for the 'Karlsruhe'. For compatibility I've also changed the test mission files which were originally created by Commander1980 for his original release.
I uploaded this update some hours ago to UBRS but it's not available yet. I'll give you the DL in my first post above as soon as it is available.
Have fun with it!
