I think i found the reason to the Desktop Crash. You dont have the necessary UnitParts file, also a proper file to display a "fake" conning file should bypass the CTD crash. most other playable ships i have seen have a conning tower file that fools the game..

Im not skilled to make a conning tower, even invisible one out of nowhere...

Soo... UnitpartsX (X = some number) USS_Brooklyn.upc is necessary along with Data/Objects/Conningtower USS_Brooklyn or so is needed to make it campaing playable..

No other idea here :roll:

Thanks for trying Walter, but that's not it. I have three ships on my computer now that don't have either one and they work. (and I even helped build one of them) I took all the Unitparts info and put it in the ship's upc and the Object stuff in the .dat sim etc files. That may be where I made a mistake but can't find it. The trouble is there are so many things it could be.

I do appreciate you trying.

Well, i havent given up yet. Though it may look like it, i'll try to get this working and hopefully it should go without crashed.. I still remember my crashes when using the Fubuki DD, always on Feb 26th, 1300 CTD. Still havent managed to root that one out but since there is few other ship mods that go without crashes..


Went bit off but whatever.

I haven't given up either, just too busy with the Japanese Campaign to really go through it line by line.

Peabody

Cool, I like this mod. You dont rule the ocean, and you dont get killed with one bomb.;)

one suggestion, or request i have is the bridge seems way way too dark for me.

i use stock setting for grafics and its so dark i can barely see the interior walls of the bridge when i look around. its like its night time during the day. i dont know if its the game or the mod but is there a way to make the bridge more visable when looking around inside it? i would not want to do it by changing the games video settings so i was hoping it was a texture file you could lighten up on the darkness.

I was thinging the same thing on one other ship, forget which, and thought I could put in some light like they have in the compartments, but I didn't get any answers and I don't know how to do it. And I haven't had time to experiment, since I have been busy with RL and trying to get a release on the Japanese Campaign. But it is on the list. I added the UZO and know how to increase the zoom (not done) but I was hoping to figure out the problem with it not going into Campaigns before another release, but again, I don't know the problem, and got no responses on the Iowa when I asked, so it's trial and error to figure it out.

Peabody

well take care of RL first naturally and we will be looking for the next release when you have the time.

ps- have you tried a generic post on the bridge darkness on playable ships? since it seems its not ship specific, a general type help post might get more response and a solution.

sorry but i love the bb's

Ok, do not know why you are sorry but thanks for the post.

Filefront link is gone
 

Could you,pleaese,re-lease the boat, I wanna try my hand at a little surface-raidin' with 'er.(yeah,I know this is an old thread):ahoy:

Peabody you can get the torpedoes to work but it take some repositioning of the tube door so the torp does not hit the hull when it launches. I know I did it with the Montana and it worked. Not sure if I released it that way though.

I have reposted the file, but just for your info, I have not had time to fix it so it will work in Career mode. There is a mistake in the UPC file. It works fine in single missions. You can refit at any US bases but it will not repair hull damage, like it does in Career mode at the home base.
I plan to fix it, and several other ship I built, when I get the Japanese Campaign done. (if I live that long. :har:)

Here is the link. I added a TBT so you can measure distance to target if you want to man the Deckgun.

PS @ jmardlin
The reason I didn't bother to make the torpedo so it could be fired like I did on some other ships is that the Brooklyn didn't have any torpedos from the info I could find. (But the info I found also says it served in the Atlantic, not the Pacific....????)

unrealistic is understatement, alternate history is more apporite :p

Thanx for re-releasing the brooklyn,I used her for a couple of war patrols,and I noticed a couple of things that might need work on when you get the chance;
1. The TBT isn't working
2.Although she has radar,It cannot be turned on
But other than those,she works perfectly,that's all.:)

Sorry Spike12, my mistake. I must have been half asleep when I put the TBT in, I put in the TBT but not he camera view for it. The radar is something else that needs to be changed when I get time. The sub I used had the radar gear installed but not usuable at the beginning of the war, it needed to be purchased later in the game. I'll fix that when I get some time.

New link and I am also going to edit the other post to put in the new link.

http://www.filefront.com/14669289/USS%20Brooklyn.zi

But it is an old MOD that I didn't fix to work in Career, it will only work with Single missions.

wonderful ship Peabody. Those forward turrets were the source of endless controversy at the Bu of Ships back in the day. My grandfather said the scuppers ran red with blood over them, and various schools of thought on such strange turrent schemes. The greatest maverick of them all was the HMS Agincourt which was ordered and paid for by Turkey but siezed at the last moment by the RN due to german influence over Turkey in WWI. Thanks so much for the Brooklyn, she was a lovely ship and she and her sisters did yeoman service in the war and since.

Thanks Admiral. I hope to get a chance to "finish" it once I get this Japanese Campaign done. But Real life is kicking my butt.

I still need to put in damage control and fix the upc so it will work in Career mode.
