No Carriers in Okinawa Terrain in SingleMission

[ShrikeHawk 384]

I just now installed the Okinawa/Japan terrain (which looks terrific BTW). Ufortunately, I don't get to land on a carrier when I return home. This is working just fine in the Philippines terrain in the same install. So where are the carriers?

 

- I updated it with SF2:NA update.

- I installed the PTO Naval ships pak

- I updated _targets.ini and _types.ini to reflect the carriers I have installed

- I'm flying naval aircraft, Hellcat and Corsair

 

What am I missing that prevents Carriers from showing up in Single Missions?

1st off, WHICH Okinawa terrain?

 

Did you build your PTO mods folder FROM the SF2NA exe?

 

What does the top section of the Okinawa.ini look like? (copy/paste it in your response)

Does the terrain folder have the proper Okinawa_water.bmp, with the 2 colored "CV zones"? (there should be 4, 3 friendly, 1 enemy off the coast of Shikoku)

 

Cause mine works fine

If you had to add various CVs and other ships, I'm reasonably certain you aren't using the latest version, cause I added them (types ini should have a date of 9/1/2012)

Lessee, I first found this update: sf2na_okinawa_update

This linked to an SF1 terrain: okinawa_v3

I added Stary's tiles here: Okinawa tiles

 

Yes, this is built in a SF2NA Mod folder

 

First Section of Okinawa.ini

[Terrain]

TerrainFullName=Okinawa/Japan

DataFile=Okinawa_data.INI

TargetFile=Okinawa_targets.INI

//CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat

CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat

Longitude=131

Latitude=31

 

Lastly, I believe I have the right map. I've attached it here:

Okinawa_Water.7z

Any ideas, Wrench?

[Wrench 9,875]

you're missing the critical statement

Add this below the Lat/Long lines

 

NavalMap=TRUE

 

that should make it work

Okay, that's much better. I'm automatically assigned to a carrier now. Only trouble is, the carriers are embedded within an island!

 

How to fix that?

[Wrench 9,875]

opps!

 

forgot to tell you to add this line

 

WaterMap=Okinawa_Water.bmp

 

put that with the NavalMap statement

 

my bad!!

otherwise it don't know where to put the boat

 

it should look like this when done:

 

 

[Terrain]
TerrainFullName=Okinawa/Japan
DataFile=Okinawa_data.INI
TargetFile=Okinawa_targets.INI
TargetTypeFile=Okinawa_types.INI
MovementFile=Okinawa_movement.INI

//CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat

NavalMap=TRUE
