Okay, I'm just wondering here, but are there some missing transport ships in the BAT?  Just wondering if the transports listed in the chiefs.ini are supposed to be in the game, but aren't for some reason.

For example all of these are missing from my installation in FMB:

TroopTrans0             ships.ShipPack$TroopTrans0                 1 icons/shipDestroyer.mat
 TroopTrans1             ships.ShipPack$TroopTrans1                 1 icons/shipDestroyer.mat
 TroopTrans2             ships.ShipPack$TroopTrans2                 1 icons/shipDestroyer.mat
 TroopTrans3             ships.ShipPack$TroopTrans3                 1 icons/shipDestroyer.mat
 Transport1              ships.ShipPack$Transport1                  1 icons/shipDestroyer.mat
 Transport2              ships.ShipPack$Transport2                  1 icons/shipDestroyer.mat
 Transport3              ships.ShipPack$Transport3                  2 icons/shipDestroyer.mat
 Transport4              ships.ShipPack$Transport4                  1 icons/shipDestroyer.mat

Anybody else notice this absence?

About BAT v3.3 Pathfinder:
Those transport ships are contained only in WAW3 and JTW3.
Not in DOF3 or TGA3.

Aren't mismatched between looked into chief.ini folder and executing game era for FMB ?


Not only aircrafts, but also ships and cars / tanks are sorted out "fit or not" for each eras in BAT.

I was playing in WAW3 and can't find them in FMB.  Is it possible that some parts of the ini files are missing? 

[western0221]

Texts written in chief.ini or other ini files are treated as internal code index.

When correct long name texts are set in STD/ i18n/ *.properties , those internal code index are replaced into "Long meaningful name texts for human eyes".

The ships you want to use maybe displayed in those names in your FMB.
Left column: internal code index
Right column: display texts for players

TroopTrans0             Armed Troop Transport
TroopTrans1             Kinou
TroopTrans2             Springfjord
TroopTrans3             Rudesheimer

Transport1 Armed Tramp Steamer
Transport2 Liberty Ship
Transport3 IJN Maru Steamer
Transport4 TransAtlantic Steamer

Thanks Western.  I just discovered them right where you said they were.

I appreciate your guidance.
