[TEC] Adding/Importing new units / SH5 Damage/collision models

The game is probably freezing because the Zone is trying to play an effect that doesn't exist in SH5.

Ok, I've checked the .zon file in both s3d and goblin editor (by opening the .dat file and then merging the .zon file).
Maybe I looked at the wrong entries but all of the types found in Poperty Tree => Boxes, for each of the SH3ZonesCtrl nodes, are matching in number the entries found in SH5 zones.cfg [Zones List]. Did I do something wrong?
I've seen that i the zon file there's also a node called SinkingEffects that could be related with the freeze problem, but I am not able to see its parameters either with s3d and Goblin Editor.

I am stuck now, so if someone got a clue and/or wants to look into the imported ship himself I will owe a beer or maybe two to him!

I've posted the link some posts back, but here it is again:

in SH4 I have had this Nippon Tanker leave a fire trail up to 2Km long before it sank. Posted pic of it in SH4 Forum around 2 years ago.
Not sure if I was using TMO or FoTRS at the time.

Thank you TheBeast,
I've changed the ArmourLevel in ColisionableObject node according to Cimarron Tanker settings (from 17 to 19). I'm not sure if that's what you were referring to, but it didn't work either: in my last test it made very difficult to sink the tanker (she ate 6 pills before sinkig!) but after the hp reched 0 the game freezed again...

Hi Gap!

I made quick import on Nippon (only added the DMG_col_Nippon) and it sunk just fine! So the bug must be either related to deleting the Reflect-nodes, or your single mission. I don't know much about making missions, but your ships showed green on your mission, I have British ships shown always in red... And remeber that there was a bug somewhere that made the game crash if you sunk allied ship. Anyway, there isn't anything wrong in the ship itself. Hope this helps!

Screenie: ship was destroyed and spawned lifeboats

he made the mission in 1938... was not in that time

Exactly! So make a new mission for example in 1940 and see if it works! And if it works, gap, you owe me a beer!

I have not looked at anyone's files for that ship, but I know that deleting the reflect nodes should not cause problems, I have done it for 3 ships now, and they are still functional. Watched em sink about 100 times now.

Sure thing. I was just thinking today about the need to set everything up in the .cfg files so that the recog manual entries will be correct.

Wow, did not know about this tools. Thanks for bringing it to my attention Trevally!

If you would like to do the measurements for me, that would be helpful, but with this tool I could do it on my own. One way or another we will get the info we need.

Glad I could help Steel

Yes Tonilo wanted to take all the doubt away from ship sizes.
I think he succeeded
