Reclassifying the ships (again)

[Hylie Pistof]

Tested and the higher min crew seems to have fixed the problem. I also dropped the max crew to 95 so it is still a tier 6 ship.

It is a fun ship to sail in battle now. After spending a lot of time in the "dignified" Heavy East Indiaman it was a different experience to race over here and spin like a top, then race over there going up and down the waves.

Also just looked at the caravels and carrack and caravelR and upped their crews a bit.

Glad to hear it. It is a pretty decent merchant, though I must remember to finish its hull upgrade sometime. It should look just as good as the Light Frigates when finished.

Anyway, what are the specifics of your crew changes to the caravels? Just checked them myself and they do seem under-crewed.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Well, let's see...the min/max is

Carrack = 20/110

Caravel = 13/78

CaravelR = 20/70

 

[Armada]

OK, thanks.

 

[Armada]

Armada, please send me a modified ships_init.c once you're happy with the new crew assignments.

Please see this post for my most up-to-date Ships_init.c, including many recent updates for other purposes.

I reinstalled the tier system mod except for the ships_init.c because mine is much larger and has some changes in it that I plan on posting soon. Anyway, the rank numbers in the icons on screen are still there. What did you change?

 

[Armada]

RESOURCE\Textures\BATTLE_INTERFACE\ships_1.tga,tx, ships_2.tga.tx, ships_16.tga.tx and ships_32.tga.tx. They should all be dated 5th/6th October 2012.
It should be a straight replacement overwriting the old versions. I really don't understand why this shouldn't work properly.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Ah. They were copied but not replaced. The new ones were named (2). Fixed now.

 

[Armada]

So do they now show up without the numbers in-game? No other trickery or witchcraft getting in the way, as we often find?

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Ayup! It's all good now.
