Flotillas.cfg question
 
Hi all,
trying to make the campaign layer for my British Campaign, but when I'm trying to move the flotillas to Britain, but I am faced with absolute gibberish.
Can anyone tell me what any of this means?

PosFlot0=895,450,200,20;kiel
PosBase0=931,427,200,18
PosBitmap0=910,428,17,17
PosSubm0=772,458,127,36
PosFlot1=633,123,200,20;St. Nazaire
PosBase1=680,142,200,18
PosBitmap1=660,143,17,17
PosSubm1=513,133,127,36
PosFlot2=849,426,200,20;Bergen
PosBase2=721,406,200,18
PosBitmap2=710,406,17,17
PosSubm2=670,406,127,36

I understand the names, but not the numbers.

I suspect those numbers may be the "coordinates" of each listed item's location? But in reference to what I'm not totally sure.

In that case the numbers in the first line should represent the location when that particular flotilla is based in Kiel, which is probably the home port of that flotilla at the beginning of the game. Later on in the list you get the coordinates for when it moves to St. Nazaire and then Bergen.

Thanks frau, that's what I was thinking as well. For now, I think I'll leave it for a while, and get some of the 3d models done.

Hello U570,

Frau Kaleun is right concerning the movement of the flotilla to the different bases.



The values are coordinates (Xstart, Ystart, Xsize, Ysize) to place the informations and symbols on the career-startscreen (you will have to make a new one from GB!)

They are used like this:
PosFlot0 Pos of the flotilla-name (taken from menu_1024_768.ini, en_menu.txt)
PosBase0 Pos of the name of the base (taken from flotilla.cfg, en_menu.txt)
PosBitmap0 Pos of the circle-Symbol
PosSubm0 Pos of the coat of arms (blazon, heads)

Hope this helps!
Blueduck
