[REL] Churruca destroyer and campaign

[Wreford-Brown]

Welcome to the Churruca mod by AH_Thor and Wreford-Brown.

Background:
The Churruca class were destroyers built for the Spanish Navy based on a British design. Sixteen ships were built, two of them sold to Argentina. The Spanish Navy played an important role in WW2 that has generally been forgotten due to their neutrality. Spain supported German U-boats in neutral harbours, creating a safe haven from where they could refuel and refit before going back into battle. The heavy cruiser SPS Canarias also assisted the search for survivors from the sinking of the Bismarck. It is time for Spain to take its place in GWX.

Content:
This mod contains AH_Thor's Churruca mod plus campaign files adjusted by Wreford-Brown to include the Churruca in the GWX 3.0 campaign.

Conflicts:
This mod must only be installed on GWX 3.0.

Installation:
This mod is JSGME ready but can only be installed on GWX 3.0. The following actions must be taken:
1. Unzip 'Churruca' into your SH3\MODS folder.
2. Open JSGME. You will see a new available mod called 'Churruca'.
3. Disable 'GWX - Merged Campaign' and/or 'GWX - Lite Harbor Traffic' and 'Canarias-Churruca' mods if they are enabled
4. Enable 'Churruca'
5. Press F5.
6. OPTIONAL: Re-enable 'GWX - Merged Campaign' and/or 'GWX - Lite Harbor Traffic'. You will get a JSGME warning pertaining to the Campaign files; ignore it.

Credits:
The GWX Team - created GWX 3.0 which is the base for the campaign side of this mod.
bigboywooly - made this mod possible by updating the original GWX 3.0 campaign files to amend some minor errors and giving us permission to amend them to support AH_Thor's Churruca ship. He also pointed AH_Thor in the right direction to put the final corrections into the Churruca destroyer model.
JScones - Created the outstanding JSGME and we've blatantly plagiarised his detailed installation instructions.

Permissions:
GWX 3 campaign files remain property of the GWX team and permission must be sought from them for its use.
Churruca ship model remains the property of AH_Thor and permission must be sought from him for its use.

History:
Initial release.

In memoriam:
The soldiers, sailors and airmen who fought, and fight, for our freedom. Lest we forget...

Quite a good idea but what about the bigboywooly addon? Is it compatible?
Kind regards

[bigboywooly]

If WB created a seperate mis as I suggested he should be able to merge onto any campaign fileset he chooses

Nice one WB and AH_Thor

[Wreford-Brown]

This mod contains the bbw addon campaign so yes, it is compatible.

The separate .mis file has now also been released (Churruca_SCR) so players can merge it with whatever campaign files they like.

Thanks for that.
Kind regards

PS: You should include a English/French/German cfg-file into the Sea-folder, otherwise you will not see any new ship

[Wreford-Brown]

AH_Thor made the ship model - I just adjusted the campaign to fit it in.

It was a Spanish built destroyer and the only nations that used it were Spain and Argentina. You're welcome to adjust your own .cfg files but this mod will only support the Spanish ships.

Before all, thank you for your work... It's very interesting!
Sorry, I'm a newborn in computer science and like all newborns I have a question:
Which 'GWX - Merged Campaign' can I re-enable? Yours in your folder called Mod or the original from GWX 3.0 ?

Thank you in advance

Lopo

Enable the 'GWX - Merged Campaign' in JSGME as usual.

This mod overwrites the original GWX 3.0 campaign and replaces it with the merged campaign including Churrucas.

Right, I understand my error... I have enabled only one part of your mod. Thank you again.

There is a separate Churruca_SCR on your FF page.........can you explain what that is

[Wreford-Brown]

v1.1 released - Churruca_SCR file now included as a separate file in the main mod and Readme adjusted to describe its use.
