Need Help Ship names

Hello pirate gamers. I'm not sure if this is in the right place so apologies if not. I don't think anyone will know the answer I am looking for but I will ask anyway in the event someone does know.

I already know how to change the name of the ship you can get when you start your game. Does anyone know where I can go to change the name for a specific character's ship that they start with. Is there a line of code I could add to get the game to give my character the ship I have specified with the name I wish to apply to it? Here is what I have now. This is from RPGUtilite.

// íà÷àëüíûå ñêèëû çàäàòü
InitStartParam(pchar);
SetEnergyToCharacter(pchar);
initMainCharacterItem();
DeleteAttribute(pchar, "Ship");
switch (pchar.model)
{
case "Dep0":
pchar.Ship.Type = GenerateShip(SHIP_GALEON, true);
pchar.money = 25000;
break;
case "DavyJones":
pchar.Ship.Type = GenerateShip(SHIP_FRIGATE, true);
pchar.money = 43000;
break;

Is there a place where ships are named and I could insert a line here such as: pchar.Ship.name = GenerateShipName("Pluto", true):

Thank you for anyone with a clue

Try pchar.ship.name = "Pluto";

That would work in PotC, but of course... CoAS can be a bit different at times.

You think it might be that simple? Very good I will. Thank you for the suggestion. I will try.

Well that did not work. But it was part of the solution. But I did talk to someone else whom you know who helped me. It works now. For someone else who may want to try, here is the solution.

// íà÷àëüíûå ñêèëû çàäàòü
InitStartParam(pchar);
SetEnergyToCharacter(pchar);
initMainCharacterItem();
DeleteAttribute(pchar, "Ship");
switch (pchar.model)
{
case "Dep0":
pchar.Ship.Type = GenerateShip(SHIP_GALEON_h21, true);
pchar.Ship.Name = "San Francisco";
pchar.money = 25000;
break;
case "DavyJones":
pchar.Ship.Type = GenerateShip(SHIP_FRIGATE, true);
pchar.Ship.Name = "Vliegende Hollander";
pchar.money = 43000;
break;
case "Alonso":
pchar.Ship.Type = GenerateShip(SHIP_CARAVEL2, true);
pchar.Ship.Name = "San Pedro";
pchar.money = 5000;
break;
case "norrington":
pchar.Ship.Type = GenerateShip(SHIP_Fregates_Legeres, true);
pchar.Ship.Name = "Centurion";
pchar.money = 25000;
break;
case "beltrop":
pchar.Ship.Type = GenerateShip(SHIP_Guineaman, true);
pchar.Ship.Name = "Whydah";
pchar.money = 12000;
break;

if(!REALISTIC_SHIP_PURCHASE) // = If Realistic Ship Purchase is NOT enabled
{
pchar.Ship.Type = GenerateShip((SHIP_Barque3), 0);

}
else // = If Realistic SHIP PURCHASE IS enabled
{

pchar.Ship.Type = GenerateShip((SHIP_Barque3), 0);
}
}
SetBaseShipData(pchar);
pchar.Ship.Name = (pchar);
// êîöàåì êîðàáëü

You must change this line from this: pchar.Ship.Name = xiDStr("StartShip"); to this: pchar.Ship.Name = (pchar);

You also must go into RESOURCE\INI\texts\russian\dialoguesource and change StartShip {Windchaser} to StartShip {}

Thanks for the help. It is done now and has a solution.

You're setting your ship name to the 'reference' to the player character there. I sincerely doubt the game could make any sense of that.
But if it works for you, so be it. Apparently CoAS is weirder than I thought.
