marvinblue Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Hi all! I've downloaded the campaign Final Dawn, as well as everything that is associated (planes, skins, etc) including CVN75. I don't know how to make the CVN appear in the campaign. I have it assigned a target area in the ocean and it works perfectly in any mission created with the mission editor. However, when I selected a Hornet to fly in the campaign today, I'm based down on the bottom left hand corner of the map. I'm pretty sure there's no water down there! So I had a look at the shipwreck add-on and got me thinking, so I added the carrier into GERMANYCE_TYPES.ini: [TargetType100] Name=CVN75 FullName=CVN-75 Harry S Truman TargetType=MISC ActiveYear=0 TargetValue=0 UseGroundObject=TRUE DamagePoint=100.0 ArmorValue=500 ArmorType=2 GroundObjectType=CVN75 RepairRate=2.555 StartDetectChance=0 StartIdentifiedChance=0 IncreaseDetectChanceKey=0 MaxVisibleDist=150 DestroyedEffect=MediumFire SecondaryEffect=SmallRocketGroundExplosion SecondaryChance=100 and added this to GERMANYCE_TARGETS.ini: [TargetArea335] Name=Echo Station Position=235390,757197 Radius=5657 ActiveYear=0 Location=1 Alignment=FRIENDLY CarrierStation=TRUE Target[001].Type=CVN75 Target[001].Offset=0.00,-0.00 Target[001].Heading=090 But nothing showed up. I've also changed the carrier's date in the data file and made it's avaliability common. How do I add it in? TIA!! Quote
marvinblue Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 Forgot to mention, I've forgotton all the contributor's names for all the stuff I've mentioned above. However, it's all top shelf gear! BZ to all that made this campaign possible; from skins to add-on planes, as well as all the little bits in between!! Without you all, this sim couldn't evolve the way it has!! Quote

marvinblue Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 Thanks for the reply!! I'll have a look tonight and see what happens and let you know! Thanks again! Quote
marvinblue Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 Hi there! Thanks FastCargo, I followed your instructions to the letter in the Blood For Oil Pt. 2 thread and I'm happy to say that CVN-75 is there in the North Sea! Yay! However, I had to add a couple of lines to the GERMANYCE_TARGETS.ini as I found in the campaign, when I returned home my ship had definately sailed off without me! I tried to make a recovery to the nearest airfield, but ran out of fuel. D'oh!! [TargetArea335] Name=Echo Station Position=235390,757197 Radius=5657 ActiveYear=0 Location=13 Alignment=FRIENDLY CarrierStation=TRUE Target[001].Type=CVN75 Target[001].Offset=0.00,-0.00 Target[001].Heading=090 The target[001] lines keep the carrier where it's meant to be. You don't have to add the code into GERMANYCE_TYPES.ini that I put down earlier, as this produces a stationary carrier that is also included with the moving version that you take-off from. Thanks heaps FastCargo!! P.S. If there are any moderators reading this thread, I reckon you should make FastCargo's tute from the Blood For Oil Pt. 2 thread an addition to the knowledge base. Quote
