ALSO:
This Mod will give you the missing flags
in the rec manual for the extra countries introduced by my earlier
ships power pack mods 1-2 (now combined here).

It should be noted that most of these flags are from GWX
In no way did I intend for anyone to believe that I created
the artwork for these flags.

It is not my intent to make this mod 100% realistic about what ships were or were not in the Pacific…I just enjoy the hard work the modders did to make these ships…also it is NOT my intent to claim these as mine…I just converted them from SH3.

SPOILER: Some German ships will be flying Greek flags…


Good hunting,
JMJOHNSON36

THIS MOD CAN NOT BE USED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES OF ANY KIND. Unless you have super bowl tickets for everyone mentioned LOL...

Hey, did you have to add flags in flags.dat?

Specifically I wanted to be able to axe the greek flags on german ships and put meatballs on them.

[donut]

Surely? ,this is for SHIV,looks like SHIII ship types ???

[tater]

They are SH3 models converted to SH4.

Could some kind person please either give me a quick primer or direct me to a thread where I could learn to incorporate these fine ships into TM 1.5/Tater's campaign layers? I'm willing to learn to do it myself but I need a little push.
Thanx, Zeke.

tater,

you can get such NAMC on my site where the permanent Greek flag is replaced with an abitrary one reflecting the assigned nationality of the ship.

!

Serg, if I ever get to Sweden to visit my relatives there (Göteborg) I owe you a beer!




If you wish to add these in game it only gets tricky because of the Names.cfg file inside the Roster folder. You need to uninstall my campaign, then paste the names in the Names file inside my campain mod folder as jmjohnson points out above. Then install his ship pack along with my campaign. Any "generic" ship pulls will add those ships automatically (most merchants are "generic" already, so this will make you see those ships instantly).

As an aside, I need to DL this again and take a look (I lost my old DL of it when I got my new computer). As I recall, I decided that most of these european ships didn't look like anythign I saw in ONI 208-J. Honestly, if you haven't spent hours poring through the real rec manual these ships would be really cool. I'm still thinking I should use the hospital ship (lighted)...

Yes, I'm very interested in historical accuracy but let's face it the number one reason I play (notice the word play) computer games is to enjoy eye candy and have FUN! And boy all you modders just keep making this sim better and better. I spend more time upgrading various mods than I do playing but that's OK I have a good time! Thanx to the both of you, jmjohnson36 & tater. Zeke

These are not my ships...however I did take the time to convert them and to add the correct weapons along with a few odds and ends from SH3 to SH4...I all open to adding them to a larger Mod...just give me a mention.

The flags are included now...thanks to Stew U582

[jmjohnson36]

I use [REL] Trigger Maru 1.5 and it works great with that!!! SHips I have in my mod show up all over and in Ports....still working on a few ships....that seem to hard to sink though...and ideas guys????

[jmjohnson36]

One more thing if anyone is having trouble with this mod please let me (jmjohnson36) know...the rest of the guys are a great help but probally busy as heck.

[jmjohnson36]

guess its working no mention of errors..cool

[tater]

I was testing the lightship for a possible use (NLGH) and after looking at her, I put a fish into her. She instantly burns very well. After 9 more fish, while stopped, and still burning, she wasn't even low in the water. DM must be screwy.

That one small frieghter also used to be nearly (or actually) impossible to sink.

One glitch that I have is that none of the Dutch ships show up with flags in "Museum"- neither the stock SH4 nor those added with this pack (including my adding the N class destroyers to the Netherlands). Not sure whether this is to do with this pack or whether it is an original SH4 bug though- never checked before. I'm running SH4 with patch 1.3, TM 1.5, and this pack plus HMS Repulse for SH4.
Which leads me to my next question: Do I use the weapons files with the HMS Repulse addon or the files in this mod pack?

[jmjohnson36]

You can use the SH4 weapons in the game...the game will not show any odd weapons ...
