I was contemplating what I had to do to bring some of my campaigns to BAT compatibility and among other things I notices the lack of ship pack elements in BAT.
I mean, carriers are there in the plethora but there are other ships ,issing like subs, WW2 and modern, Royal Navy ships, Yamato class, various civilian cargo stuff.... basically the same things that used to be in Modpacks since DBW days and being used by mission and campaign builders.

What's the plan to bring this material into BAT, are there even any plans?

Should I wait some more for this to happen instead of downgrading missions to stock ships?

Who knows what will happen next go-around of updates. Holding off adding any missions and campaigns to BAT till ones made for it come out. Not comfortable modding things yet other than installing BAT, VP modpack, and TD updated. Have spent a lot of time researching and still have a long way to go.

You should make a list of downloadable ships that are not available in B.A.T.

One problem with older missions with ships is BAT used updated name paths.  These are the stationary ships I have detected so far and the substitutions I have made.   The format is OUTDATEDNAME = BATUPDATEDNAME  Some of them are not the same object, just the best substitution I could find.  It comes from the QMBPro clean up that is almost done.


Hansa = Ships.TroopTrans3
Janssens      3do/Ships/Janssens/hier.him 1 = Ships.TroopTrans1
MSAtenfels    3do/Ships/MSAtenfels/hier.him 1 = Ships.TroopTrans2
LSSimonBenson 3do/Ships/LSSimonBenson/hier.him 1  = Ships.Transport4
LSHuddell  =  Ships.Transport4
SS_Empire_Heath_CAM  3do/Ships/SS_Empire_Heath/hier.him 1 = Ships.TroopTrans0

Apanui           3do/Ships/Apanui/hier.him 1 = Ships.Tramp
Awanui           3do/Ships/Awanui/hier.him 1 = Ships.Transport1
Holmlea          3do/Ships/Holmlea/hier.him 1 = Ships.Norw_Ship_Stord
MalaysianQueen   3do/Ships/MalaysianQueen/hier.him 1 =Ships.Tramp
Mapito           3do/Ships/Mapito/hier.him 1 = Ships.Transport1
Mararoa          3do/Ships/Mararoa/hier.him 1 = Ships.Norw_Ship_Stord
SeawayPrincess   3do/Ships/SeawayPrincess/hier.him 1  = Ships.Tramp
Speedwell        3do/Ships/Speedwell/hier.him 1 = Ships.Transport1
Sumatra          3do/Ships/Sumatra/hier.him 1 = Ships.Norw_Ship_Stord
Zephyr           3do/Ships/Zephyr/hier.him 1 =Ships.Tramp


ShipPack.Tanker0 = Ships.Tanker0
ShipPack.Transport2 = Ships.Transport2
ShipPack.Transport4 = Ships.Transport4
Static ships.ShipArchie$Mararoa = ships.Ship$Norw_Ship_Stord
Static ships.ShipArchie$Apanui = ships.Ship$Tramp
--------------------------------------------------
HMS kipling = Ships.HMSEncounterDD1938
            = Ships.HMSEclipseDD1939
            = Ships.HMSElectraDD1941
            = Ships.HMSFoxhoundDD1941

   Ships.VIICwinter_Srf = Ships.SubTypeVIIC_Srf
    Ships.USSPermit_Sub = Ships.HMSUpholderSubmerge
    Ships.USSSpot_Srf = Ships.HMSUmbraSurf
  Ships.GerKMTrawler = Ships.KMKT30transport

  In addition the stationary file has several ships commeneted out as having problems:
TroopTrans0           ships.ShipPack$TroopTrans0                 1
//TroopTrans1         ships.ShipPack$TroopTrans1                 1//need fix
//TroopTrans2         ships.ShipPack$TroopTrans2                 1//need fix
//TroopTrans3         ships.ShipPack$TroopTrans3                 1//need fix
Transport1            ships.ShipPack$Transport1                  1
Transport2            ships.ShipPack$Transport2                  1
Transport3            ships.ShipPack$Transport3                  2
//Transport4          ships.ShipPack$Transport4                  1//need fix

The following moving ships (chiefs ) have changed names.  These are the BAT names.
SpanishBou            ships.ShipgioTral$SpanishBou           
Tramp                 ships.Ship$Tramp                       
Tanker                ships.Ship$Tanker                     
Norw_Ship_Stord       ships.Ship$Norw_Ship_Stord 

  It is not a complete list but I believe it will help point modders towards what they will find outdated with ships in older missions.  Name change problems exist with land objects as well.

ShipPack2 for v4.10 and v4.09 asheshouse

Huge thanks to asheshouse for the original ship mod and vpmedia for fixing the classfiles to 412 compatibility.

This wonderful naval upgrade is now carried through to the Jet Age module.  This is particularly important at this time to allow for Vampire_Pilot's excellent campaigns upgrading to B.A.T. standard.  A very welcome development!
