[REL]New Unit-"Arrow" Class Steam Tanker

iambecomelife · 06-28-08, 03:39 PM

I have been revising some of the older ships that I want to include in my mod. This ship is an 8,000 ton old-fashioned steam tanker based on the "Dixie Arrow" (sunk 1942) and her sister ships. Originally I built it more than a year ago - this is the third version of it.

Installation is very easy, but please read the readme. All text on the hull and funnel is mirrored correctly. You will see it ingame if you have generic entries for American oil tankers. To my knowledge these ships were only used by one company so the civilian skins are pretty similar, but there is some variety in hull markings.

I will create a batch of camoflage skins for it in the next several days.

******
EDIT: Version 1.1 has been released. EQP files have been modified to stop the crashes on some installations. Also includes various improvements and a pack of camoflaged skins. Download this instead of v1.0.

EDIT: Version 1.2 has been released. Camo skin #5 has been repaired in this version. Download and use this instead of all earlier versions.

EDIT: v 1.21 (resolves file paths problem):

You could say that.

Although most of the ships will still be released together. I just happened to be updating this ship and I was satisfied with how it turned out, so I decided to go ahead and release it.

I am almost finished with one of the "half sister" ships mentioned in the Readme. It is similar in construction but hopefully distinctive enough. Tonnage is about 9000-9500.

Sorry to say this but I have en-counted the dreaded CTD with your mod.

SH3 no CTD until I placed your mod in via JSGME then I got three CTD's in one night. I've removed your ship mod and the SH3 is now stable again, I must admit this is the first time a ship mod has caused me CTD.

I will DL again and try it again and yes I did follow your instructions to the letter. Bloody shame this has happen as all other ship mods you created work find.

Jimbuna · 06-30-08, 04:24 PM

@STEED

On reading your post I checked the stability of the ship and my installation is working fine.

Might I suggest you check the text very carefully in the EnglishNames CFG. If that is okay, try editing a mission with just the ship and a sub.

The mission editor will then either refuse to load up or save.

I could also send you my file if you wish.

Good luck matey.

OK - did you add the entry:

T09A=Tanker 09

to your englishnames.cfg file?

Also, did you check to make sure everything was extracted properly? A folder named T09A should be in your data/sea main folder.
