[REL]: Q-Ship-Mod for GWX3 - Reloaded

rudewarrior · 06-25-11, 01:20 PM

ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! For some reason this mod is causing a CTD when I reload saved games. I really cannot figure out what the conflict is.

Here are some things that bother me:

1. Sailor Steve's Ship Names mod from 04/11 has the Q-ship names already in the file under [SCF] rather than [LOV] ([LOV] is called for in the Q Ship readme). However, this is definitely not causing the crash anyway, as this is in an SH3 Cmdr file and not interfering with game play. (I have separate JSGME mods to enable the SH3 Cmdr files and the regular game play files for this mod. With both enabled or just the game play files enabled I get CTD, with just the SH3 Cmdr files, it loads just fine.) I have also noticed that the [LOV] listing in the readme does not have a crew quantity range line, but the [SCF] listing in the Ship Names mod does (CrewRange=60|80).

2. OTOH, NLOV.cfg in the Sea/NLOV folder has ClassName=SCF, and the SCF.cfg files under the roster folder also has ClassName=SCF. However, it also lists DisplayName=small coastal freighter, which does not match the EnglishNames.cfg file edit which, according to the readme should read SCF=Tramp Steamer (It matches the old readme, which does call for it to say SCF=small coastal freighter in the Ship Names).

Taking an example for another common ship the A&B class destroyer: NDD_A&B.cfg from the Sea file gives ClassName=DDA&B, which matches with the listing in the DDA&B.cfg file in the roster, ClassName=DDA&B. This also matches the listing in Ship Names.cfg as [DDA&B].

After discovering it was causing the problem, I corrected the DisplayName line to DisplayName=Tramp Steamer for consistency, and made sure that SCF was called for everywhere else, but I still get the CTD!!!

The only other edit I have made is that I have replaced NLOV_shp.tga with an empty file for the purposes of "realistic plotting," and I have replaced NLOV_sil.tga with the file from Ricks Rec Manual, so it won't "give it away."

Any help?
