Hunting a Dithmarschen...

Okay, gotcha. I think all you need to do is put it into the appropriate Roster folders. As I said, check out some other ships to see how they did it.

Much Thanks Sailor Steve! I shoulda just gone the simple way but had to go and try to copy/rename the NFAD etc etc etc... anyways just lots of headaches and CTDs!

@LordNeuro -
Sure! I can't take any credit for it though... The original model is the Dithmarschen Supply Ship from GWX2.1...

all I did was edit some files to make it a 'Super-Tanker' for the Americans, British & Canadian fleets... I'll go ahead and get those files posted in the next day or so along with the edits I made to the 'ShipNames' file in SH3Commander so when I sink one it has a name...

...Besides who doesn't want to sink the 'Exxon Valdez'

BTW - Do people want just the .cfg files I edited or the complete ship data?

Is it possible to have the complete ship data?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Note that 20K was her DISPLACEMENT (in DWT) as german auxiliary ship, if you add her to the allied roster as merchant vessel her TONNAGE is about 8000-10000brt

There is a huge difference between the two measurement units, also if many people uses them improperly

YukonJack_AK · 03-24-09, 12:44 PM

80 to 100K TONS! ARE YOU SERIOUS! I guess I need to spend a few minutes researching this before I release a 'final'... I know that modern super-tankers are usually in excess of 250K tons, but being as the largest ship in game is less than 50K I didn't want to go TOO much...

@CapZap - The files will be up later today... I don't know yet if I will try to make it JSGME compliant or just post the edits I have done. BTW - My new 'SeaKnight' and 'A Drop Of Red' skins will be available on my FileFront page later today!
