Adding gunstations to ships

Ok, so while creating some new BoB missions I noticed that all my convoy ships immediately turned north and ran into land after spawning. I searched and found an old thread that said all ships without gunstations will turn north regardless of waypoints assigned. Sure enough, the ships i was using had no gunstations. Now, how can I add gunstations to these ships without creating an armed ship that shoots at A/C?
 
Hello Col. Wolf
in the [gun.x] line, the first column is for the rounds quantity, so you can set by example:
[guns.0]
gun.0=0,-0.126,0.266,0.967,0,0,1,1000
gun.1=0,0.126,0.266,0.967,0,0,1,1000

And you won't be affected by any shoot

Best regards

Martin,

OK that covers the [GUNS.X] entries but do I also have to add "Gunstation" entries such as these:

[GUNSTATIONS]; -1 CFS doesn't care
gunstation.0=0,-1,1,0.08,844,2,0.01,1500,4,20,1d1*25,0,11,40,0,0,0,-180,180,70,-10,0.25
; -2 CFS doesn't care
gunstation.1=1,-2,2,0.08,844,2,0.01,1500,4,20,1d1*25,0,11,-40,0,0,180,-180,180,70,-10,0.25

If I do, I'm assuming that since the ships don't have them modeled they will not be seen.
 
Hi Martin
Here is a copy of my.dp file from HMAS Kuttabul.
You may need to add some additional lines to your .dp files.
They are higlighted in red.
I am not sure if they are all needed, but they work.
You will not see any guns if they are not moddelled.

Thanks guys, I'm going to "upgrade" all my non armed merchant ships with gunstations. It was kind of funny though to watch ships going east off Dover to hang a left, hit the beach, CLIMB THE HILL! then cross the A20 and go right through downtown Dover! :biggrin-new:
