 Downloaded and installed on my 4.11.1 with modact 4 and ran into a bug in which i couldnt set ships in the FMB and the ships in the campaigns just disappeared!! I'd start a RN Iwo Jima campaign in the water exploding. So i removed the classfiles and the game works fine. So i went and added a - to the start of each of the classfiles and i found the solution adding a -to 13CC14A4ADB3D08E fixed it and now i have them working in 4.11.1

Hi western,

I've tried to download your IJN CV pack, but ran into problems with mediafire's new download limit.

Maybe try one of the solutions discussed in the thread below:

Ok, I managed to beat mediafire's download limit today!

Thank you for this great mod, western!

for some reason kaga and akagi seem to still be using old models and paint, hiryu seems to be working just fine.
is this mod supposed to overwrite old ships or just add more?
any help would be appreciated

hi all
when i last tried this beta pack, it was only just the Kaga. at that point, it installed no problem.
now, quite some time later, and after having installed pretty much every other ship available in this 4.11.1 modact 4 install, i only just saw that this pack had been updated with several other ships.
however, after following all the install steps, as i have successfully done on many occasions previously, i am now getting the old 70% install crash. something about 'property 'speed' not found in class, blabla
now, i am convinced i have not made any install mistakes.
i even went and tried from scratch, and tried to install just one ship at a time, but each time i get the same 70% crash.
could this be a class problem, as this is invariably where i always fall short when installing new ships.
it's never been an install issue on my side, but normally that i have the wrong/outdated classfiles.
in this case, i am using the 4101 classes proposed in this thread. however, i do have other classfiles from western in this install, for many other ships from western, JFC, ashes, etc
is it possibly the original Kaga from this thread that i previously installed, causing the problem?  that one has its ship folder as IJNKagaCV, whereas the folders in this updated beta are IJNKagaCV41 and IJNKagaCV42, so i don't really see a conflict there.

also, if i leave just the classfiles in, and remove all the ini entries, the game loads fine, and all other ships are working, which is puzzling.
only when i try to add any entries, i get the crash.
in fact, even after entering just the stationary entries, the game still loads fine, but the ships, although in the list, are not viewable.
now, i'd think this only leave an incorrect entry as the culprit, but i can assure you, i've been around the block with this sort of thing a few times, and as i said, just trying to add any one individual ship from this pack gives me the 70% crash.... confusion reigns supreme, lol
any advice to help me out here, anyone?

just a few screens to show all the ship related mods i have in this install, which is tailored mainly for PTO theater - as you can see, i have already installed loads of ships here with no problem, yet this pack somehow eludes me .....

May be a class file problem looking at the error message you posted.
I don't have this pack installed at present but I had a quick look at the classes.

Did you remember the text entries in ships.ini for the 4 new gun types?

[SAS~Malone]

yes, i did, ashe - only thing is, i checked and i already had the same entries in from some previous installs, so instead of duplicating them , i just left them.
so i don't think that's the issue.
my primary suspects are the classfiles, as that seems to have always been the thing to catch me out whenever i've had ship issues in the past.
hang on - you say 4 new gun types?
i only see 2 mentioned - [gun_JA127AA_Type89] and [gun_IJN_120mmAAA_10y]
maybe i missed something there? (like i said, i already have those guns present in ships.ini prior to installing this mod, so i just skipped them.
the only other thing which might be an issue is the info from the 'add1.ships.ini' instructions,
i.e: the [strength_HullCVHuge]  entry.
the readme, in step 6, says to edit the ships.ini, pasting the relevant text in before [strength_HullEnorm]
now, i din't have such a string anywhere, so maybe i am missing something there...?
i did have a section - [strength_HullCVLHuge] (i think for the Yamato)
i went ahead and pasted the step 6 text in just below this section, so i now have the two as follows:
[strength_HullCVLHuge]  and  [strength_HullCVHuge]
other than these possible issues, i don't see where i could be going wrong.
thanks for the assist

[asheshouse]

Well I have now installed it and they all seem to work.
All appear in FMB and tested Akagi and Kaga in a mission.
All ok

I only used the chief.ini and ships.ini for testing.
Other entries not made.

As you say the two gun entries were already there  (HSFX6 in my case)
The other two gun classes provided must be edits of existing classes, so no new text entries.
-- or maybe they are unused?

There was also a new Hull Strength category to enter text for.

I did not use the replace.ships text.
I presume this is intended to use the existing Akagi slot instead of the new Akagi42 slot.
However this will only work if you rename the new ship model folder IJNAkagiCV instead of IJNAkagiCV42

I guess these issues are a consequence of the pack still being WIP.

[SAS~Malone]

hmm.
okay, thanks for helping out, mate - i'll do some more testing over the next couple days, see what i can figure out.
