Aircraft Carriers question

How to add the Aircraft Carriers in SF1?

[SayethWhaaaa 245]

Have a look at the two articles in here:

 

http://combatace.com/forum/190-adding-carriers-to-campaigns/

 

You can't add Carriers to the single/randomly generated missions, only to the campaigns themselves. Give it a go, it's not particularly difficult.

Heh, yeah... it comes up a bit.

Heh, yeah... it comes up a bit.

 

I've tried and tried these methods with SFP1 Oct 08 patch.

I hit fly, the plane explodes on the water where the CV should be , and the wingie say's "2 is up".

 

It looks like we're in the correct location, just no CV.

I haven't tried CVA-63 because the campaign is set in 1957 and the Kitty Hawk didn't launch until 1961, and that's noted in the data.ini.

I did up these other CV Base types to Medium instead of Small.

 

Any help? I'm stumped, again.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

have you added the CV to the terrain's _Types.ini?????

[Padre 13]

have you added the CV to the terrain's _Types.ini?????

 

No.

But the Nimitz CV 68, worked in 1959. 1959 A-4b taking off with F-18s on the Deck standing by.

I'll locate and annotate Desert_Types.ini with the CVs-11 and 14 and see what happens.

[Wrench 9,421]

because the Nimitz start of service date is probably wrong

 

for the CVN-68:

 

[MissionData]

NationName=USN

ServiceStartYear=1975

ServiceEndYear=2050

GroundObjectRole=WARSHIP

Availability=VERY_RARE

FormationSizeBase=1

FormationSizeVariation=0

 

for CVN-75:

 

[MissionData]

NationName=USN

ServiceStartYear=1998

ServiceEndYear=2050

GroundObjectRole=WARSHIP

Availability=VERY_RARE

FormationSizeBase=1

FormationSizeVariation=0

 

 

dates and nations are incorrect in the released versions and needed correcting (notable lack of research, there)

[Padre 13]

have you added the CV to the terrain's _Types.ini?????

 

In this case I'm using SF1 default Desert terrain.

I've reviewed both articles in the KB "Intermediate Modding" regarding Adding Cvs and I don't see any referance to "desert_types.ini".

 

Link 1 to KB

Link 2 to KB

 

What goes in the *_Types.ini?

and can we update the KB to reflect?

 

[Padre 13]

I got the kitty hawk to show up by altering the service date...but the deck bmps are missing.
