Discussion Modding CoAS into PotC style

Foo Mxcah said:
Quick question, can the absence of the "1" cause a runtime error, there were a few files with the Santisima in it, perhaps all require 1??

Yes. The filenames must match the folder name and both must match what is in "Ships_Init.c". If "Ships_Init.c" says "Santisima" then the game will look for files called "Santisima" and won't find them if the files are all "Santisima1".
 
No more runtime error, now after I click "Alright men, I'm going a shore" it loads, then crashes
 
@The Nameless Pirate It would seem I can only get as far to the loading screen until I find out where the deck.tgx texture files are for the Santisima in TEHO, do you know? I'm one step away:modding:) I can only find the files for Arabella and Boat
 
Far as I know missing textures won't result in the game crashing.
The objects that use it would just appear gray.

You are replacing ships right?
If I were you I would just swap out the GM files.
Unless you want both the old ships and the PotC/TEHO ones I don't see a reason to go through the process of adding them in the code.
Less things to go wrong too.
Edit: Also if you want to edit the ships stats you can edit the ones already there. End of edit

Maybe you should consider uploading your files related to the ship.

Have you found "system.log" and "error.log"? If so, can you upload them?

Yep, this would be really helpful. :yes

Where may I find it?

They should be in your main directory.
"C:\Games\CoAS\" or something like that.

Try out the files @Grey Roger and @Jack Rackham have uploaded.
In "Battleship2.zip" you can find the files you are possibly missing.

Hmm Santisima is a reused Man o War model from potc, but slightly different, I'll see if it works. Keep me updated if you find anything, yeah?

That texture is used by multiple PoTC ships, so I think it should work.
Alternatively try using this file from TEHO: "Sea Dogs To Each His Own\RESOURCE\Textures\Ships\deck.tga.tx".
Because several ships use it, it is not in the exact ship's folder. ;)

Where exactly is your "Santisima1" folder located?
Click to expand...
Also have you edited anything in the PROGRAM folder?

Yes I have edited the programs folder

Maybe something went wrong there.
Can you please upload the files you edited to add the "Santisima1"?

Foo Mxcah said:
Right so when I move it in, I'll be prompted "Replace this file"... what do I do?
Click to expand...
I would back up the original file if were you.
And then try replacing.
Though if it says that it will replace it then a similar file is already there.

Maybe put it in the "Santisima1" folder?
