This Mod will give you the missing flags
in the rec manual for the extra countries introduced by my earlier

the artwork for these flags.

It is not my intent to make this mod 100% realistic about what ships were or were not in the Pacific…I just enjoy the hard work the modders did to make these ships…also it is NOT my intent to claim these as mine…I just converted them from SH3.

SPOILER: Some German ships will be flying Greek flags…


Good hunting,
JMJOHNSON36:o :o :o

THIS MOD CAN NOT BE USED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES OF ANY KIND. Unless you have super bowl tickets for everyone mentioned LOL...

<<<Oh I provided this even though I wasnt even mentioned for the MODDER contest thanks guys I love you too...LOL>>>

Hey, did you have to add flags in flags.dat?

Specifically I wanted to be able to axe the greek flags on german ships and put meatballs on them.

tater

Am I not up to speed?
 

Surely? ,this is for SHIV,looks like SHIII ship types ???

They are SH3 models converted to SH4.

tater

Quick question; not a hijack attempt
 

Could some kind person please either give me a quick primer or direct me to a thread where I could learn to incorporate these fine ships into TM 1.5/Tater's campaign layers? I'm willing to learn to do it myself but I need a little push.:up:
Thanx, Zeke.

tater,

you can get such NAMC on my site where the permanent Greek flag is replaced with an abitrary one reflecting the assigned nationality of the ship.

!

Serg, if I ever get to Sweden to visit my relatives there (Göteborg) I owe you a beer!

:D


If you wish to add these in game it only gets tricky because of the Names.cfg file inside the Roster folder. You need to uninstall my campaign, then paste the names in the Names file inside my campain mod folder as jmjohnson points out above. Then install his ship pack along with my campaign. Any "generic" ship pulls will add those ships automatically (most merchants are "generic" already, so this will make you see those ships instantly).

As an aside, I need to DL this again and take a look (I lost my old DL of it when I got my new computer). As I recall, I decided that most of these european ships didn't look like anythign I saw in ONI 208-J. Honestly, if you haven't spent hours poring through the real rec manual these ships would be really cool. I'm still thinking I should use the hospital ship (lighted)... :up:


tater

Thanx Tater
 

Yes, I'm very interested in historical accuracy but let's face it the number one reason I play (notice the word play) computer games is to enjoy eye candy and have FUN! And boy all you modders just keep making this sim better and better. I spend more time upgrading various mods than I do playing but that's OK I have a good time! Thanx to the both of you, jmjohnson36 & tater. Zeke

Yeah you should prebally ask first
 

These are not my ships...however I did take the time to convert them and to add the correct weapons along with a few odds and ends from SH3 to SH4...I all open to adding them to a larger Mod...just give me a mention.

The flags are included now...thanks to Stew U582

One more note
 

I use [REL] Trigger Maru 1.5 and it works great with that!!! SHips I have in my mod show up all over and in Ports....still working on a few ships....that seem to hard to sink though...and ideas guys????

If I use any, absolutely!

I was kinda waiting til I get closer to "done" before I add truely new ships (vs little cfg/eqp tweaks of stock ones). I have my eye on the hospital ship <G>

tater

Oh OK
 

Theres 2 different Hospital ships....one with lights and the other no lights....The lighted one is beautiful.

Yeah, from my testing of the 1st ship pack, there was one little merchant that was a PITA to bring down.

Werner's work ha shown how FUBAR some of the stock ships were, I suppose any errors in original ships might somehow propagate through ships based on them. there might also be some issues vs SH3.

BTW, TM does up the flooding time by 3X, so they will sink more slowly in TM.

<S>

tater

Torps to sink a ship
 

ROGER>>
I cant remember what ship i was shooting at...it took 8 torps to sink...waaaaay to many Im going though the files and seeing what was up there....most other ships sink normal...
oh sinking a hospital ship is bad....ends your career...-20,000 points
OUCH
