[WIP] Ships database for TDW UI - SOAN

[Zedi]

In particular, Im talking about C2 S B1 class. I know the link posted by you, but not much info there. Best I found so far is this page dedicated to the C2 class, including the c3 s b1. Also with cool drawings, pity that everything is copyrighted.

I finished the merchants, carriers, capital ships and Trevally finished the oilers. Escort ships and troop transport are left to be done, but I got no more energy and time to continue. I have the passion, but not the time. First post have a download link to what is done so far.

Also waiting for TDW to finish the Library app and debug the clipping text in SOAN.

NLL test image works fine for me. All I did was remove the leading ; from the entry in the NLL.ait file. How were you trying it?

Here is the AIT file from test9:-

[AdditionalInfo]
AIText=2,718 built by 17 shipyards located along the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts. Highest number (385) were built by <b>Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards, Inc.</b> in Baltimore.| |
AIText=| |<img>180,70,c:\\games\\Ubisoft\\Silent Hunter 5\\data\\Menu\\Gui\\Tutorial Images\\TutorialImage_Test2.dds</img>| |
AIText=The Liberty ships are between 400 and 450 feet long (120 - 140 m) and 56 feet (17.3 m) wide. They use a 2,500 horsepower steam engine to push them through the water at 11 knots at a range of 23,000 miles (37,000 km). Liberty ships have five cargo holds, three forward of the engine room and two aft (in the rear portion of the ship). Each could carry 10,800 deadweight tons (the weight of cargo a ship can carry) or 4,380 net tons (the amount of space available for cargo and passengers).| |
AIText=The crew quarters are located amidships (the middle portion of the ship). Crew consist of between 38 and 62 civilian merchant sailors, and 21 to 40 naval personnel to operate defensive guns and communications equipment.| |
AIText=The first of these new ships was launched on September 27, 1941. Based on a British design, modified by the United States Maritime Commission to conform to American construction practices and to make it even quicker and cheaper to build. The US version was designated 'EC2-S-C1': 'EC' for Emergency Cargo, '2' for a ship between 400 and 450 feet (120 and 140 m) long (Load Waterline Length), 'S' for steam engines, and 'C1' for design C1.
