Default Renaming ships?

Hi,

I would like to add some additional ships to my SH3 installation. However, in a thread in this forum I read that merchant names should start with NK... and tankers with NO... (IIRC Bigboywooly wrote that). Now I would like to change the names of the ships I want to add. Is it enough to simply change

1.) the folder name,
2.) the name of all the files in the folder,
3.) the classname in the xxxx.cfg file,
4.) and the name of the xxxx.cfg file in the roster folder (and the classname in this file)?

Are there any constraints one must take care of? I guess the classname must be the same in all files and the file in the roster folder must have the classname. Any comments are highly appreciated.

Thanks for the help, LGN1

You can get away with renaming just the class names in the 2 cfgs

The only thing you have to watch for is if the ship is already scripted\added to the campaign files

If you change a ships name and its on the campaign files = CTD
