Adding? Or replacing? (Addon Surface Units)

KeybdFlyer · 08-09-06, 01:17 PM

I can't make up my mind if this is a dumb question or not, lol. When a new ship is added to SH3 (Rose Castle Ore Carrier, for example) does SH3 randomly choose a ship and maybe it'll be the RC, or is the RC truly "added" - as an extra route, so-to-speak? I suspect the former and if this is correct, is there any way to actually add a new "route" to the game. If taken to the logical extreme of course, it would end up that we'd be able to walk across the North Sea from ship to ship, but I would dearly like to be able to have SH3 generate more surface traffic dependant upon how many units it had to choose from.
Apart from making a single mission with the mission editor, is there in fact any way to add extra traffic yourself? I'd like to see small coastal traffic hugging the shoreline (and if it's calm and I feel lucky, maybe surface and put a few shells into them, lol).
Oh. If this WAS a dumb question; please don't tell me, my feelings are so easily hurt!!

Yes-you can add units using the mission editor.Basicly what you do is make a "mission" in the editor and merge it with the campaign file.Bigboywooly posted some help about that around here but I can't remember the thread.Search for "mission editor" or something like that and you should find it.

SHIII randomly chooses a ship from the type of ships specified.

Partly true

In the example below there is no "Class=" specified so the game will pick any "Type=4" ( Destroyer ) ship

[RndGroup 61.RndUnit 22]
Type=4
Origin=British
Side=0
CargoExt=-1
CargoInt=-1
CfgDate=19390801
No=1
Escort=true
SpawnProbability=30
CrewRating=2

Where as the entry below specifies class so in this example a Hunt 1 will be spawned

[RndGroup 80.RndUnit 8]
Class=DDHuntI
Type=4
Origin=British
Side=0
CargoExt=-1
CargoInt=-1
CfgDate=19421201
No=2
Escort=true
SpawnProbability=100
CrewRating=3
