of clippers and zeppelins, a question, convoys and wings

USS Sea Tiger · 09-06-08, 09:51 AM

Hello

I have added a clipper to the roster of ships,,one issue,sometimes they are in convoys, As far as I can tell, they NEVER convoyed, impossible due to winds

Is there a way in the dat file to tell a vessel never to convoy?

same with zeppelins,, they scouted alone, yet sometimes I see a wing (staffle ) of zepps go by on patrol, can it be stopped too?

What version of the game are you referring to :hmm:

Its because they are designated as the wrong types ( type= in both cfg files )

SH3 designations

;Warships
Type0=Patrol Craft
Type1=Corvette
Type2=Frigate
Type3=Destroyer Escort
Type4=Destroyer
Type5=Minesweeper
Type6=Light Cruiser
Type7=Heavy Cruiser
Type8=Escort Carrier
Type9=Fleet Carrier
Type10=Battlecruiser
Type11=Battleship
Type12=Minor Warship
Type13=Auxiliary Cruiser
Type14=
Type15=
Type16=Iceberg

;Merchant ships
Type100=Replenishment
Type101=Tanker
Type102=Cargo
Type103=Troop Transport
Type104=Coastal Vessel
Type105=Environmental
Type106=
Type107=Coastal

;Submarine
Type200=Submarine
Type201=Replenishment Submarine
Type202=Missile Submarine
Type203=Environmental

;Air
Type300=Fighter
Type301=Bomber
Type302=Dive Bomber
Type303=Torpedo Bomber
Type304=Patrol
Type305=Helicopter
Type306=Environmental

Make your clipper a type=104 and will only show around coastal areas
Am guessing now its a 102 which most convoys are made up of

The airship is a bit more difficult
I guess you are adding generic entries for then in an rnd group ?
Or have added them to an airbase

In GWX I created an airship airbase so the airships only spawned form where they were placed
Try not to use generic groups for rnd aircraft either

What is your airship designated as ?
