Well,I'm interesting to tell you some news.
In WSM2.0,one ship could have 13 guns fire except main deck gun(so you see,there are just a few flak guns on a big battleship.As I couldn't make more guns fire~some questions about cam file)...
Fine,here I'll try to explaine this,I hope you can understand what I'm talking about.
SH3 warship mod is more complicated than warship mod for SH4,that's why there are a dozen SH4 warship mod but just 1 S-Boat mod and my WSM for SH3.
The main difference between them is that in SH4,except the guns you can contrl(1 deck gun,and 1 flak gun,as most of the SH4 warship mod),other weapons just need you to write them in XXX.eqp text file,like ai ship,and they will work,also like ai ship,very easy.
But in SH3,if you just did this,these weapons won't fire at all.It's not hard to make a playable ship in SH3,but it's hard to make all of your guns fire,or at least most of your guns fire.Imagine a playable battleship with just 1 deck gun and 3 flak gun(as the U-Boat in SH3),it would be a catastrophe!
But that's enough for a S-Boat,so that's why there is a S-Boat mod.
So for SH3 playable warship mod,I need to make a lot of files connected to the weapon positons so they can work for player(it's not easy for me to explain this in English),and the weapons themselves should also be playable like U-Boat's weapons(in SH4,ai weapons also would work in player's ship),general speaking,in SH4,you need to do nothing to make weapons fire on your ship,but in SH3,you need to do a lot of work.
And that's not all,the connecte files you make guns fire must be different for different positions in 1 ship......And I just get 13 ways now,so there could be 13 weapons(except deck guns)work in 1 ship.
For most warship,that's enough,but for battleship,there maybe some "empty" positions,on these positions,guns won't fire,like what you saw.
It's so tired for me to explain so much in English......
I hope you could understand what I said......
