Help with Destroyer Command Mods

BradR · 04-28-12, 06:09 PM

Hi, I'm new to the site, found it yesterday when looking for mods for Destroyer Command. I found some cool mods that are supposed to let you command battleships like the Hood and Bismarck but I can't seem to figure out how you control them in-game. Can someone please tell what you do after the mods are installed?

You will need a mission that allows you to play as those vessels. Stock DC only lets you select the destroyers. Without a scripted mission, the new ships just sit in the databases.

ah, starting to make sense now. Do I need to make a map using an editor or can I set a map up in the missions generator in-game? oh and thank you for helping me

You will need either missions made by the same modder or will need to either hand-write or use Koralle or another editor to make the units available. As far as I know, the units will not appear in the mission generator because it only uses what is coded onto that function.

Do you know if anyone has made tutorials on how to mod DC? I can hand-write any scripts but I need something or someone to give me advice from time to time and keep me relatively on the right track. The ships in the downloads section were authored by Sergbuto and uploaded by Sailor Steve. There's only one map that was authored by Sergbuto; do you think that one would work with the battleships? Also, is it theoretically possible to write a script for any ship in the game and make it a playable vessel? Could I hand write a script for say the Iowa-class battleship or any of the Italian ships to command them in-game?

The only tutorial I found was this document from the own downloads section

http://www.subsim.com/subsim_files/p...H2_EDIT_v1.zip

It says SH2, but both SH2 and DC use the same engine, so the document should be just as useful.
