Hey frog, that's a lot of nice-looking ships you've got there. Congratulations. :yeah:

Hello!

Instead of littering the forum with another thread, I just use the existing one ...

... so, here's an add-on to the destroyer package:

The Vasilefs Georgios class destroyers of the Royal Hellenic Navy, built in the UK on base of the G class, were armed with German guns, making them uniques crossovers.
I produced a model representing them. It comes with several library files, including the gun_SB files created by Sergbuto (the big mods have them already). The 12.7 cm gun has been converted from SOM group's SH4 mod "Battle for the Baltic". For details, please read the documentation file.

Nice! Loving the last batch of destroyers, and I'll try this one out!

I've just noticed that in the Ship Names files the E&F and G&M listings are identical. Both have the G&M names only.

Odd

That's the in-game Roster list. Ship names aren't generated from there, but from the SH3 Commander Ship Names list. The Frog provided individual lists for insertion to that master list so Commander can provide names. That is the one which has the wrong names in it.

Of course I will use the Roster list to change mine, and the next update of Ship Names will have all these destroyers included. :sunny:

[edit] Fixed. The May Ship Names update will definitely have all of the new destroyer types on it, so the player only has to install the mod to SH3 and not worry about Commander.

Right, I managed to mess up the Ship names cfg files ... :yep:

Sailor Steve solved the problem already (by copying the content of the roster files, I guess ...)

Anyway, here's the correct content of Ship names_DDE&F.cfg:

[DDE&F]

Cool! I didn't have those last four, but now I do. :D

Hi, the Frog

As you may know, I usually take any newly released SH3 ships into SH4 for my own use, and this one is no exception. But I'm stuck with the Greek destroyer.

In nod X01 of the Vassileff Giorgios there should be a 3inch_platform, but none of the libraries included with the download have this object. Is it part of an original SH3 library?

Thanks for your help :up:

EDIT: Just found the object in the Guns_UK.dat. Now I need to discover why it doesn't show up in SH4. Apologies for the stupid question.

May sound silly but did you check for the platform to show up after June 41? Before, there should be the aft torpedo bank.

Yes, I know that the 3in gun substitutes one of the torpedo tube sets. The thing is that the 3in gun was hanging in the air :damn:.

After some thinking, now I know what happened. Adding an extra blank line at the end of the .eqp file did the trick.

Thank you again for another wonderful ship!

Did I forget/remove the end mark?

Yes, the empty end line is missing in the original .eqp file (I had to check it).

Very interesting, the "missing" empty end line has no effect in SH3 but in SH4 ... :hmmm:
