+Julhelm Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Is it impossible to base a merc unit on a merc carrier station? I only end up with my base somewhere outside the map (desert) despite having the carrier placed right outside the Paran mainland.
+Wrench Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Mabye they need a 'merc' carrier??? (got the idea from Diabalico's book 'Mercenary of the Seas') wrench kevin stein
+Julhelm Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 That's what I did, but it still does the same thing: Here are the relevant .ini entries: [TargetArea074] Name=Delta Station Position=700000,700000 Radius=5657 ActiveYear=0 Location=3 Alignment=FRIENDLY CarrierStation=TRUE [TargetArea075] Name=Echo Station Position=870000,700000 Radius=5657 ActiveYear=0 Location=3 Alignment=FRIENDLY CarrierStation=TRUE -------- [TargetType072] Name=SCB-125 FullName=SCB-125 Essex Class CV ModelName=SCB-125.lod TargetType=WARSHIP ActiveYear=1950 DamagePoint=10000 ArmorValue=0 ArmorType=0 TargetValue=2500 UseGroundObject=TRUE GroundObjectType=SCB-125 RepairRate=0.150 StartDetectChance=50 StartIdentifiedChance=0 IncreaseDetectChanceKey=0 MaxVisibleDist=15000.0 DamagedModel= DestroyedEffect=ShipDestroyedEffect DestroyedModel= SecondaryEffect=LargeOilFire SecondaryChance=100 [TargetType073] Name=CVA-63 FullName=Kitty Hawk Class CVA ModelName=CV-63.lod TargetType=WARSHIP ActiveYear=1961 DamagePoint=10000 ArmorValue=0 ArmorType=0 TargetValue=3000 UseGroundObject=TRUE GroundObjectType=CVA-63 RepairRate=0.150 StartDetectChance=50 StartIdentifiedChance=0 IncreaseDetectChanceKey=0 MaxVisibleDist=15000.0 DamagedModel= DestroyedEffect=ShipDestroyedEffect DestroyedModel= SecondaryEffect=LargeOilFire SecondaryChance=100 -------------- And the merc unit is set up as a carrier unit with the merc attributes.
+FastCargo Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Well, what about the ground object itself? Doesn't it need to be MERC for the nation it belongs to? Post the data.ini and merc unit entries. FC
+Julhelm Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 Yep, turns out the carrier needs to be merc for the game to recognize it. So I just made a copy of the SCB-125 that I renamed MercCV where in the data the nation is 'merc' instead of 'usn' and now it works.
+Wrench Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Yeah, that's what I meant (and didn't write) A Merc "nationalized" CV. wrench kevin stein
