All,
Just a question regarding ship category descriptions names found in the common.ini file located in resource/INI/texts/russian.
I added back most of the GOF ships that were commented out in the shiputilties.c (sorry MK, I like some of the old ships that were not in period) before I started a new game as I like more variety.
I am fixing some of the left out ship types and even quest ships that were left out during development of the original GOF mod that was ported to eras and I noticed an anomaly.
If a ship name does not start with an alphabetic letter for example 32GunFrigate the common.ini will not recognize the ship and use NULL for the type in game.
Specifically these lines for example:
string = BrigSW,"Heavy Brig"
string = BrigSWGen,"Heavy Brig"
string = BrigSWAcc,"Heavy Brig"
string = BrigSWDat,"Heavy Brig"
Does anyone know a fix for this anomaly?
Every other ship works perfectly and ship descriptions work fine as well.
NOTE: I added an ACTUAL description for the Sea Wolf (in shipsdesribe.txt), which I thought I would share, because its a bit humorous and fun and I sometimes become obsessive compulsive in fixing things......
"A highly advanced 24 gun Brig created by the master shipbuilder in Bermuda and true work of art and testament of his skills. Originally named the Jackdaw by its creator, it was rechristianed the Sea Wolf after the ship was presented to its owner, Jackman, the pirate lord of Bermuda.
The ship was later stolen by the pirate, Edward Low, but eventually recovered and returned. The Sea Wolf is rumored to be the fastest ship in the Caribbean and outclasses all fourth rate ships that are equal in size and weight. Armament is substantial with an outfitting of 24 32 caliber culverins. "
