Ships without flags?

onelifecrisis · 05-14-08, 10:51 AM

I'm frequently spotting allied merchants which don't have any flag at all. Has SH3 always been like that and I only just noticed? Is it a bug? Is it some historically accurate feature of SH3 or GWX?

I know they're allied (at least, the ones I've seen so far) because I tend to find them in allied/British convoys and when I sink them they show up as allied tonnage sunk. The last one was a Medium Cargo.

Any info would be great.

What mod are you using OLC ?

GWX I'm presuming.

Could you post a screenshot because there are a few additional imports out there at the moment.

I've only had this experience once and it was an imported model.....I just don't recall which one.

when you have several mods (or supermods) installed that can happen , the flags are in the flags.dat file if you have imported a country for example Czechia from WAC and your flags.dat file's GWX 2 one the ships from Czechia won't have flags there isn't that country in GWX 2

Hi Jim,

All I'm running is GWX 2.1 (with the Minor Fixes released by BBW) plus my Ubermod, which basically has new scene.dat, envcolour.dat(s), skycolour.dat(s) files, plus tiny tweaks to the GWX 2.1 materials.dat and particles.dat files, and of course my GUI. That's it - no ships added or modded.

Here's a Medium Cargo with no flag. Would have been better if I had snapped the shot quicker (while the eventcam was to the side of the ship) but you can see even in this shot that the flag is missing. For comparison, there's a museum shot of the same ship (with a flag) below it.

I've tried to replicate your prob (in museum and on patrol) thus far without any success.

Have you the 'community ships' mod enabled as well as the 'AOTD-AA-Ship-Schleuse-Bugfix' ?

If so, the community ships must be enabled with JSGME after the AOTD mod.

I've never heard of either of them!
I don't get the problem in the Museum i.e. every ship I've looked at in the Museum has a flag.
As I said, I have no ship mods enabled. Here's my JSGME:

I'm sorry mate, I just can't understand it.

I'm just not getting the same fault

I'm just wondering if it's something to do with either your mod or the small fix :hmm:

Here's my setup.
