New Unit - Hospital Ship Mod Available

[iambecomelife]

Sansal deserves a lot of the credit. The hospital ship was collecting dust on my hard drive until he devised a way to add unique ID's quickly and easily to new ships. Without it I would not have released the mod because of the CTD problem with identical units like the British AMC.

Really nice mod
Is it compatible with SH 3 commander?

Yes; they should work together fine.

I just have seen it ingame with max quality settings for my video card.

This is the most beautyful surface ship so far in the game!



Please do more ships, iambecomlife!
Would it be possible to clone a liner and give it similar textures?

This ship lets the player make an interesting moral decision in the game.
(Of course, sinking that innocent little Fishing Boat off the coast of England could be considered mean, too. )
It is a nice looking model.

:rotfl: :rotfl:

Funny you mention that. I feel more guilty attacking those little guys than I would a hospital ship.

The Japanese also had hospital ships, such as the Awa Maru which was accidently sunk by a US submarine in 1944.

I vaguely remember the story; a webpage about it was in my favorites but I lost it . It wasn't pleasant reading.

I made sure to include it as a Japanese unit just in case we manage to put together a decent Pacific mod. cdr gibs has a GREAT 3d model of an American submarine. If we can research the American uniforms, alter the interface, and touch up RN ships to look like they're Japanese we'll be well on our way to getting it done .

Great Mod!

I really want to use this mod but I'm afraid it will spawn a lot of "GENERIC Troop Transports" both in the Stock Campaign_RND File and in the "Improved Convoys" Campaign_RND File.

I've noticed that both of these Campaign Files have convoy's containing single "GENERIC Troop Transports".

It might just make encountering them all too common on the high seas.

Is there anyway to make them a completely seperate unit that won't place them in a "GENERIC" catagory?

That way they could just be added manually and in less numbers.

I really want this beautiful ship.

YOU ARE MY HERO iambecomelife , keep up the good wok man ...

[Der Kaizer]

The mod looks great, but I'm still unsure, how to use it exactly.

:hmm:

I have changed the englishnames.cfg and germannames.cfg according to the instructions (the German Name is Hospital Schiff btw...).

Now what should I do ?

If I enable it with JGME, won't the files be overwritten anyway ?

Suggestions most welcome.....

Great work!!

It can be added to any nation by making a copy and putting that nationality in the new file and then that nations roster folder.
I do not believe there are generic troopships in the convoys. I just reedited my RND adding Serg’s transport so can confirm this. The single ships also have no troopships. I added Serg's by name for singles so I did not get the regular troopships steaming alone as this model resembles the Laconia which obviously traveled alone.

As far as renown loss, one can change that to getting a big bonus if one chooses.

I see this as a big easy target with big rewards until one gets close enough to realize it is off limits (Speaking to those with a virtual conscience, LOL)

I will add this too my RND.mis file as single shipping.
Thanks for the nice work.

If you have no other new surface units you can just use JSGME for the entire installation. If you do, here's what you must do next:

-Place NHOS in data\sea

-Place the nation folders in data\roster. These contain cfg files that tell the game which nationality has the hospital ship. You can give it to every nationality if you want by pasting NHOS.cfg in every nation's data\roster\[country]\sea folder.
