That's sad :dead:

But I bet that Jiimbuna, Sailor Steve or someone else will have it stored. I'll ask for it :up:

I scanned my HD and found nothing but the batch file for changing the skins. You will have to ask JB or SS for sure.

In my opinion those skins were inferior to the stock skins in a lot of ways. I actually ended up blending the default SH3 skins at high contrast with photographs of ship hull plates to design my most recent merchant textures.

I have the MFM Skin Pack which is set up to go into your SH3 Commander Date folder. Is that the one you want Hitman?

No; he is referring to the Merchant Variety Pack, which was one of my first mods for SH3. It contains skins for the default T3, T2, Tramp Steamer, and other ships in SH3's original release.

All I have now is the GWX Combined Skin Pack (164MB compressed).

Hi Iambecomelife,

are you considering releasing the deck cargo separatedly (maybe together with your new lifeboats)? That would be great! Looking forward to using the cargo :up: If you need a beta tester, just let me know :D

Cheers, LGN1

The deck cargo is an integral part of the ship models. However, it can be damaged or destroyed, explode, or fall overboard, just like standard deck cargo.

In the museum under American merchants what ship is after "Ore Carrier", going to the next one is a CTD, if I disable mod all is ok.:hmmm:

Check and see if there is a duplicate entry of "O02A" (American-style ore carrier) in englishnames.cfg.

No, there is:
AO02A=US Oiler 02
O02A=Ore Freighter 02

I'm pretty sure I have a copy, as I hardly ever throw away anything. Unfortunately right now my computer is in storage and I have nowhere to set it up.

And I'm not sure how long blah blah blah. But when I can get it I will let everybody know.

I'm not sure what is causing your problem but I will make sure it doesn't occur in the upcoming version.

I'm having final exams soon, so expect fewer updates & posts.

Hi Iambecomelife,

I have looked at the tonnage values of some ships (MFM, GWX, stock SH3,...) and it seems in some cases the displacement value is given, in some the DWT value, in others the BRT/GRT value... Since I think the best thing would be GRT/BRT values, I tried to find out the values for some ships. Here are my results:

C2: around 7000 BRT
C3: around 7800 BRT
T2: around 10500 BRT
Liberty/Victory: around 7200 BRT

I could not find any values for the T1/Patapsco Class tanker and the T3 tanker. Do you know these values? Do you know how much the BRT value of two ships with similar dimensions can differ? And finally, can one roughly scale the BRT value with the length? Any comment would be great.

I wish you the best for your exams!

Cheers, LGN1

You're asking for what the standard values should be?

In real life there were several subvariants of each type, and GRT could vary by several thousand tons. Also individual ships were rated differently by the insurance companies and varied from the 'norm'. So, for a general "what they should be" rating:

C2: 6100
Actual insurance registry numbers range from 5990 to 7101 (so far).

C3: 7800
Actual numbers range from 6736 to 8008.

T1: 1840
These were gasoline tankers and mostly operated in the Pacific. I don't have any insurance numbers, so no actual GRTs.

T2: 10,448
Actual numbers range from 8298 to 10,198

T3: 9880
Actual numbers range from 10,180 to 12,197

Hi Sailor Steve,

thanks a lot for the reply and the numbers. The T3 looks strange, it is so much larger than the T2 in the game :hmmm:

Anyway, do you have more numbers for the other ships?

Cheers, LGN1
