Can someone please tell me how to import ships from SH4 to SH3?

, but hang around, for sure others will give you the necessary instructions to do it.

Moin,

basically it´s nothing else than copy and paste. But some effects will be missing, such as the wakes. Hex editing is needed to bring them in. Besides some externally loaded objects that are contained in the Library folder will/may be missing, especially if you plan to import warships. Copying the respective *.dat files from the library folder will/may cause CTD, due to duplicate IDs.

Regards,
DD

Nothing worse than a imported CTD....

miner1436 · 11-29-07, 04:18 PM

And how do I imply the ships into the career mode?

That would be a cue for BBW!

Whos BBW?

bigboywooly · 11-30-07, 06:32 PM

Me

:rotfl:

Any merchants ( type=102 ) Tankers ( type=101 ) coastal vessels ( type=104 ) will show ingame anyway
Passenger ships ( type=103 ) will show for the main allied nations

Patrol boats ( type=0 ) Destroyers ( type=4 ) will also show for most nations
Battleships will only show for Britain

All without any work to be done if you are using GWX

Cant answer for WAC or NYGM
Stock does have a few generic entries so a lot of the above will show

Clear as mud
lol

Shout again if anything you dont get

What should i put as its name EnglishNames.cfg, im importing the large old split freighter from SH4.

bigboywooly · 12-01-07, 05:37 AM

in the cfg file is the class name

eg

KMSBiyo

so the English names entry would be

KMSSBiyo=Medium Old Split Merchant

The text in yellow can be whatever you wnat BUT must not be more than 25 characters overall inc spaces

are you porting them your self or downloading them..

i just tackled this myself, there's a post floating around with downloads to SH4 ships For SH3.... i just downloaded the ships put them in the sea folder and put the file in the roster file for what country i wonted them to show up for and then added the name to the englishname file and they work just fine... there really not as good as the ships people have made for SH3 though as they sink a little bland and with not much fire and effects.

bigboywooly · 12-01-07, 01:51 PM

Ok
Are the class names in BOTH cfgs the same ? - Roster\Sea and Data\Sea
Are both UnitType= the same

How to import submarines from SН4 to SН3 and to make them ai submarine ?

candy2500 · 12-01-07, 02:08 PM

ok lets say i downloaded the IJN NAKA i opened it up and there is a data file with roster and sea in it. the sea folder you just drop in your SH3 folder, the roster folder would have a Japan, sea folder, copy that to any nation you want to but i think it will only show for countrys that have random pick ups for war ships so i don't think it would work for the USA but it will for British, ive seen it myself. then just add it to the englishname file... i put it in as CLNaka=Naka Class Light Cruiser. and thats all i done..

the merchant ships are the same, there showing up all over the place in my campaign
