Why it is necessary Ship names_DDTribal.cfg?

No, I think you are supposed to append that to shipnames_en.cfg in the Commander folder.

That way, if you sink one, Commander randomly generates a name, tonnage, crew, etc for more interesting patrol logs after you dock at port.

:up:

Always a great work ! :up:

Thanks for that Beauty.

@Luno:

You can remove as many textures as you feel for but make sure the ones you keep are correctly numbered.

According to my last trials, placing 24 Tribals into one mission, all 22 textures showed up. When a single copy of a ship model is called for, the texture picked by the system is often one of the first of the 2nd half; e.g. no. 13 oder 14 out of 24. However, there are exceptions: In case of the Tribals, my system developed a preference for texture T20 (= the '43/'44 dress of HMCS Iroquois, shown in the 1st post).

I would really like to know the mechanism behind SH3's texture picking.

@Anvart1061:
As pointed out by Luno, the names file is to be used with SH3 commander's ship names list. Versions of the Tribal list vary and to add to the messy situation, I prepared my own list :woot:

They are beautiful skins, I don't want to remove them! :yeah: I was just wondering if they would all work/how they worked (which you've answered, thanks).

Beautiful ships and superb rendition, the_frog :yeah:. Thanks a lot.

I'm trying to add them all to my SH4 as I type this.

My guess is that an imperfect dice game is being used to pick skins. While random number generators are theoretically truly "random," I've found they are anything but. For example, one I was working with for another game was supposed to generate anything from 0 - 100. It came up with mainly 40's and 50's, with none below 20 and none above 80.

... plus some other factors ...

Depending on the number of textures available, SH3 tends to pick one. In the museum, you will always see the same texture. Also, after picking one texture, it is no more used until the number of ships spawned exceeds the number of avialable texutres ... or so .... :hmmm:

@the Frog,

Nice work there! :up:
