[REL] Maru style recognition manual

[FooFighters]

I made this small mod due to some questions regarding Maru names in the recognition manual.
I really hope WernerSobe and Tater will finish their Oni Manual someday.. That will kick my mod ass :p

SHIV New recognition manual names by FooFighters update version 2.

This mod changes all ship names.
All naval ships have "class" added to their name (Akizuki destroyer -> Akizuki class destroyer)
All merchants are now called Maru.

The only downside to the "Maru" names is that 2 ships are used for all countries.
It's possible to find an US ship with the name Taihosan or Kasigan Maru.
For now it's not possible to change.

Instal ready for JSGME
or manual Instalation by putting all files in the correct directories.





here's a quick few of some changed names..

KSQ=Taihosan Maru
KSS=Kasigan Maru
KMSSBiyo=Biyo Maru
KMSSKinposan=Kinposan Maru
KMCSHeito=Heito Maru
KMCSAkita=Akita Maru
KLSSHakusika=Hakusika Maru
KLCSNagara=Nagara Maru
KMCSZinbu=Zinbu Maru
KSCSTaihosan=Taihosan Maru
KSSSKasagisan=Kasagisan Maru
PLConteVerde=Kotobuki Maru
PLKiturin=Kiturin Maru
PLHorai=Horai Maru
PSTyohei=Tyohei Maru
GeAuxCruiser=Ryusei Maru

NSampan01=Sampan
NSampan02=Junk
NSampan03=Large Sampan
JPFish01=Fishing boat
JPFish02=Fishing boat
LL=Liberty Class Cargo
VV=Victory Class Cargo
OTMS=AO Class Fleet Oiler

Thanks RDP,

Please wait 20 minutes, just found some boats which I called Maru which are never used as Japanese Merchants in the SH4. I can recall them to the US Name.

There are only 2 merchants which are used by all SH4 nations.
Taihosan and Kasigan Maru.
After I fixed it, these are the only 2 non axis ships then can be called Maru.

Update version 2 is available

In the roster folder you can name ship's and plane's what ever you want. For example this is what I did for the Jap plane's.

Here is the original:

[Air]
FSF1M=F1M Pete Shipborne Search Plane
LBSH6K=H6K Search Plane
DBD3A1=D3A1 Val Dive Bomber
A6M2Zero=A6M2 Zero
B5N2Kate=B5N2 Kate
USDiveBomber=Dive Bomber
KyushuQ1W1=Kyushu Q1W1
G4MBetty=G4M Betty
H8K=H8K
USFighter=Fighter
USTorpedoBomber=Torpedo Plane
USHeavyBomber=Long Range Bomber
LBSUSSearchPlane=Search Plane

Now here is mine:

[Air]
FSF1M=F1M Pete Jap Shipborne Search Plane
FBHurricaneMk1=HurricaneMkII GB Fighter Bomber
LBSH6K=H6K Jap Long Range Bomber
DBD3A1=D3A1 Val Jap Dive Bomber
A6M2Zero=A6M2 Zero Jap Fighter
B5N2Kate=B5N2 Kate Jap Torpedo Bomber
USDiveBomber=US Dive Bomber
KyushuQ1W1=Q1W1 Jap Early War Medium Bomber
G4MBetty=G4M Betty Jap Medium Bomber
H8K=H8K Jap Long Range Heavy Bomber
USFighter=US Fighter
USTorpedoBomber=US Torpedo Plane
USHeavyBomber=US Long Range Bomber
LBSUSSearchPlane=US Search Plane
FBP38=P38 US Fighter Bomber
FBWildcat=Wildcat US Fighter
LBB24Liberator=B24Liberator US Long Range Bomber
LBSPBYCatalina=PBY Catalina US Search Plane
LBSSunderlandMKIII=Sunderland GB Search Plane
TBAvenger=Avenger US Torpedo Bomber
TBSSwordfish=Swordfish GB Torpedo Bomber

So when they show up in game this is what I see on the map

So why not do the same thing with the US and French and British ships change the name's to show up in game how you want them to? As you can see I added a lot of plane's from the old SHIII game that were ported both by myself and another guy that did the US plane's.

After I finish up the star shell work for the sub's.

I will see how you can go about giving each country's ship's a name of their own I know it is all in the Roster file just got to see how to set it up.

Will send you the data when I got it right.
