Hi WB,

I think that does not make sense because of the savegame-problem.

Maybe better to restrict the availability of the Q-ship by restricting the ship's Appearance dates. But first one has to think about whether this is necessary. Does the Q-Ship appear too often???

Edit: We're both thinking the same thing!

I think I can do this in one line using SH3 Commander's RandomisedEvents.cfg (I'm away from my SH3 computer so apologies if I get some file names wrong).

If I set a 75% chance of replacing the Q-ships ApperanceDate with AppearanceDate=19450501 it means that there's a 25% chance of it appearing per patrol. It won't prevent you seeing more than one during a patrol but it means that on average you see them about every fourth patrol.

I'll add it to the list - I've now got four good ideas that I'm working on.

P.S. Does anyone have a lightbulb smilie? I could really have done with one here.

Yes, maybe that works.

Yeah....absolutely no problem http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Don't forget, the Q-ship is already limited in it's historical availability time period:

Britain....Commencement of hostilities - 31-3-41
USA....1-1-42 - 30-11-43

Modifying AppearanceDate might also be problematic for save games :06: Never tested it.

Too lazy to read through it all but did you ever get the guns to appear Jim?:hmmm:

Afraid not....and to be totally honest I'm not sure I even tried post mod release :hmmm:

Hi WB,

changing AppearanceDate between save/reaload leads to a crash, when a Q-Ship is already spawned and part of a convoy.

Hi Jim,

I found this old post of yours:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//sho...74&postcount=2

Does that mean that there are some Q-ships scripted into GWX3 even if I don't install your Q-Ship mod?

h.sie

You need the mod enabled before they will spawn.

I'd like to try this mod (I have GWX3.0) as my Kaleun is currenty in port, but I clicked the link above only to get a "File not found" message from filefront and then I was redirected to gamesfront. :-?
Did a serach there for "Q-Ship GWX3.0" and found something relative to GWX but not your mod :shifty:

Here is a working link Banryu79

The link in the post above is good :up:

Von Tonner, Jimbuna!
:salute:
Thank you very much, sirs!
(Now, with the addition of this mod and SH3Commander my carrers will really rock to a new level :woot:)

Hope you live long enough to tell the tale...ship recognition is of paramount importance :arrgh!:
