Topic: Need slots for convoy escort repaint (Read 3806 times)

milvipes · « **on:** March 23, 2020, 04:26:12 PM »

Greetings:

I'm currently working on the following repaints to flesh out the convoy escort fleet. All will be using existing 3D model.

Casablanca class CVE
Already represented by 3 stock vessels from the PTO, I'm adding the following vessel from Battle of the Atlantic: USS Guadalcanal CVE-60 that captured U-505 (of Enigma fame).

Just simply renumbering the excellent work by Knochenlutscher

3 ships from Bogue class CVE:
USS Bogue CVE-9
HMS Attacker D02
HMS Ruler D72
Plus a generic USN CVE that represents both Bogue and Casablanca classes.

Gio's Flower class corvette, in US service:
USS Temptress PG-62 (based on HMS Flower 1)
USS Action PG-86 (based on HMS Flower 2)
USN corvette generic (based on Flower 2)

Thanks in advance

I made them already. Have the Slots. Now I need the 3-D. Must extract.
Added your
USSGuadalcanal CVE-60
USS Bogue CVE-9
HMS Attacker D02
HMS Ruler D72

Code: [Select]

        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$USSNatomaBayCVE62_1944.class);
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$USSKalininBayCVE68_1944.class);
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$USSGambierBayCVE73_1944.class);
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$USSKadashanBayCVE76_1944.class);       
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$USSMarcusIslandCVE77_1944.class);
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$USSSavoIslandCVE78_1944.class);
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$USSOmmaneyBayCVE79_1944.class);
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$USSPetrofBayCVE80_1944.class);
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$USSSaginawBayCVE82_1944.class);
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$USSGuadalcanalCVE60_1942.class);
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$USSBogueCVE9_1942.class);
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$HMSAttackerD02_1944.class);
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$HMSRulerD72_1944.class);
        new BigshipGeneric.SPAWN(com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipCVE$CasablancaClass.class);

But they sit on Casablanca Class Hull, no new 3-D.
If someone makes, good, if not, decide.

I will upload my PSD Templates for you, Tomorrow afternoon, when I'm back.
Think it will be of use for you, as you then have the 4 files to tinker with.

BTW. my first Ship Mod, I hope this works. Loaded the first, seems to work out.
Cross fingers
Tobias

Shows up in FMB under ships, like a normal CVE, but in Mission you don't see, planes start on water???
Static ship is not visible.
Possible conflict somewhere.

Thanks for the prompt reply, I see you're already working on the full lineup of Casablanca class CVE.

Quote from: Knochenlutscher on March 23, 2020, 07:20:45 PM

But they sit on Casablanca Class Hull, no new 3-D.

Since HMS Ameer from ShipPack is already using Casablanca 3D model, for the sake of consistency, I think all Bogue class CVE should use the same 3D model.
BTW, is it too late or too troublesome to add USS Block Island CVE-21 (the only USN carrier sunk in the Atlantic) to the pack?

One more detail: I could not use your CVE repaint's skin0.tgb at 2048x2048, having to tune them down to 1024x1024 for them to work in my 4.14. Perhaps the stock CVE have been "tuned down" in newer versions of the game?

Knochenlutscher · « **Reply #4 on:** March 24, 2020, 08:43:59 AM »

We can, for now we must get the generic to work, I dunno where the prob in the code sits,
here we need help. Once I figured out what it was, I can do the rest.

I'll ship you the Files later today, you can assign any size you want to it, I opt for 1024x1024, since we
have a bunch to tackle. I asked in Superschool for Help on that class conflict. Maybe we get sorted it out.

Knochenlutscher · « **Reply #5 on:** March 24, 2020, 11:53:23 AM »

Okay, I guess it's a Ship.class / BigShip.class problem, it seems there are mother ship classes that list must list
the new ships. These I can't edit, I'm running out of Ideas.
We can deliver the ready files, Slots, but still they won't show up until we have them properly inside needed classes

asheshouse · « **Reply #6 on:** March 24, 2020, 12:00:22 PM »

Does the model show up in FMB ok, but does not appear in mission?
If so then likely that there is an error in the ships.ini text entries.
Post the error message from the logfile.

milvipes · « **Reply #7 on:** March 24, 2020, 12:03:52 PM »

Can we simply adapt the class files from ShipPack's HMS Ameer, instead of creating new ones from scratch? After all she works just fine.
The problem is how to find them among the piles of files in ShipPack.

Where's gio? CVE are no good without DE/corvettes.

Knochenlutscher · « **Reply #8 on:** March 25, 2020, 11:12:03 AM »

Yes, Ashes. FMB OK, at Ships, I can sign waypoints and Planes.
But I have no Static Ship, picture is there, but no static ship appears.

I can't see any obvious errors in what you have posted.
If you disable the entry for the Stationary Ship do you still have the problem?

Most likely a simple text error somewhere?

I would debug by first disabling the Stationary Ship entry.
Then disabling all of the entries in ships.ini after // Structure, then see if it loads.

disabling the Stationary Ship entry = same (no ship in Mission)
disabling all of the entries in ships.ini after // Structure = same (no ship in Mission)

I rewrote the Ships.ini from CVE55 to this new = same
took original CVE55 Ships folder renamed = same

???
