@ Notewire
Wow a few then lol
The link with the Scr and Rnd in is for GW1.1A
It will give you lit ships for all the neutral countries plus US before they joined the war - same with Netherlands\Norway\Greece\Denmark and Belgium IIRC

The first link is just the ships all together - except the latest

@BigBoy-
Just wanted to clarify, your download is the lit ships AND a script layer that includes the lit neutrals, shifting them to darkened ships at the correct times? Do they appear in convoy?

Thanks for doing that (assuming I read you correctly

), that's a lot of work and a BIG help to the rest of us.

No they dont appear in convoys
There are 5 people who have had it for a couple of months now with nothing reported back
You are correct that they shift to dark ships at correct times

Except for that it is necessary to analyse and other files SH3 for example Harbor_kit.dat.

Thanks Anvart, so I will go back to my cave for a while and start studying the *.dat. Hopefully I´ll be back by the end of 2006.

I've just started out on my first patrol using BBW's collection of Anvart's lighted ships scripted into in the campaign files, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how these look - unfortunately, I'm in November 1943 now so I'm not sure if there are likely to be many neutrals left out there for me to see at this point.

One question though - why a lighted transport? What are these things transporting? If they are troop transports, would there ever be a situation IRL where troop transports would be lighted? It looks very cool, but I'm a bit puzzled about the reality of lighting up this particular type of ship. Were they used to transport something other than troops?

There are still the neutral countries out the lit up - Spain\Sweden and Portugal etc

Hi guys.

Sorry for the noob question but...

I'm running NYGM201, can i still use these lit ships, or is it GW only?

Thanks in advance.

You can use the lit ships in the first link - post 17 on this thread
The second link has the GW campaign files so may screw something up in your NYGM install
IIRC they will all be in the next release of NYGM

if you want to wait

Schultzy · 09-23-06, 05:51 PM

Brilliant!

Thanks very much for the quick reply!

*off to download, looks too good to wait for!!*

Well, if it were sailing under a neutral nation, it wouldn't be a transport anyway but a passenger liner (in this case, an older one). The definitions of passenger liner and troop transport are rather interchangeable in SHIII - as the war progressed, there wouldn't be any passenger vessels which weren't being used as transports anyway. The name "Lighted Transport" was retained for this vessel because of the name Sergbuto originally chose for the clone of the AXC.

One exception would actually be the Troop Transport - there would be no need to light up that one. The landing crafts clearly mark the ship as non-civilian, and its appearance is more of a purpose-built transport. The lighted one here is a civilian design, however.

Hope this answers your question. You can rename the vessel to Old Passenger Vessel, or something like that if you like.

panthercules · 09-23-06, 07:55 PM

Good point - I really couldn't tell from looking at it what kind of ship it was supposed to be - didn't look much like a passenger liner, at least of the classic Cunard Line styles anyway. For some reason I just equated "transport" with "troop transport" in my head based on the name. I guess that some of those neutral countries would still have had some passenger ships that wouldn't have been pressed into carrying troops (and people that wanted to travel despite the war and the risks), and they would certainly want to have them lighted up if it would help lower the risk of being torpedoed, so it sounds like another great addition indeed

Many thanks, Anvart.

I've downloaded it OK.

Great work, as usual.

PM reply sent to you.

I wonder if we will ever get to see the Small Merchant Lighted.:hmm: I am still waiting for that one...

How does one install them?

Curious Kaluen wants to know.
