Good hunting,
FUBAR295

The [SH3 Cmdr] folder will have the skin pack... I tried to keep the type of mods seperate.. Perhaps I should bring all mods to the same root directory level?

The original mod by iambecomelife , did not have the skin packs included... Hence why they are seperate in my collection.

Since i have activated this mod while in bunker, is it me or there are a lot less encounters?
In other words, could this mod influence the rate of encounters?
Whole patrol without any ennemies, only neutrals...
Maybe have to start new career?

No, nothing in it would affect that. Or do you mean entire convoys of only neutrals ?

Fifi · 04-04-20, 04:31 AM

No, last patrol was with no real encounters, just 2 neutrals alone...had a convoy contact on map at some time, but too far away and heading opposite.

Anyway just re-done full GWX install with some new adjustments and I’ll see what’s going on now with ships...

Ok. Are you familiar with how to get them to appear in the convoys ?

Fifi · 04-04-20, 08:14 AM

Not really

The easiest way to get the MFM ships to appear in a campaign is to use a generic campaign.rnd file.
That way the game chooses any ship needed from each nation's roster file.
GWX is already mostly setup to be generic so you need do nothing to have the MFM ships appear in it's convoys besides installing the MFM to your game install.

If you have an install that does not have a generic rnd file, i.e. NYGM, the MFM ships can appear in those too with a simple file edit to make the rnd file generic. Via notepad, choose edit/replace and replace "Class" with ";Class".
NYGM has a lot of MFM ships already in it's campaign but not all if one wants them all.

One can also manually install a MFM ship for each rndunit of each rndgroup desired. But that's a lot more work. This is what NYGM did, but they did it that way because that way the only ships in their campaign have had their ship damage/sinking mod editing done to them.
If you were to install the entire MFM to NYGM those not originally in their rnd file wouldn't have this damage editing if that matters.

Hope his helps.

Thanks for the info

I can see them with GWX, alone or in convoy, but at first i thought i got a lot less contacts with MFM Improved. That must have be me...now with my clean new install, everything seems fine again

So - with Izgud's new silhouettes, how do I know whether the mast height is referenced to a mast or to a funnel?

shadow_wxh · 04-06-20, 02:07 PM

I really wish there are some documentations come along with those ship models,such as years of commission,name of ship builder,name of class,names of real ship it is modeled after with traceable refereneces.

Shipyard iambecomelife containing numerous merchant vessels representative of UK and US shipping between 1939-1945.

For my last 'Ship Names' update I converted all the ClassMaps to reflect real classes to go with the real names. You have to manually change all the ship classes, but it's worth it to see the class assigned to the ship you sank.

No new ships for the first edition I've done in two years. The [CLASSMAP] has been upgraded to better use IABL's Merchant Fleet Mod. Now the 'X' ships are tied to their 'A' and 'B' counterparts and should get appropriate names when sunk.

Also here is a list of these ships to add to the
'EnglishNames.cfg' file in your 'Sea' folder.

Be sure to delete any other listings with these class names.
Everything that has been done before is included in this
latest version, so you don't need any previous ones.

As always, just insert this into the SH3 Commander/CFG
folder and overwrite the old one.

I've recently started working on the 'Ship Names' mod again, and it will not only have many new ships but all this 'Class Name' work will already be done for you.

shadow_wxh · 04-07-20, 08:43 AM

This is much more desired.

Now when I need to add a new ship in the champaine file at least I can check if I have that ship model after all.
I think we have enough ship models already the problem right now is the lack of enough imformation to put them on the map at right time and right place.

What i have noticed with this awesome MFM 3.3 Improved + SH3 Commander skin pack, is some ships doesn’t have any flags but painting on hull.
That’s very nice but: Greece painting on hull —-> was ennemy ship while should be neutral. Same for Sweden paintings, Norwegian...
I suspect SH3 doesn’t take account of those painting... and could be quite confusing
