• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Liberty Maru?!?...

Sounds good Blue Devil....gonna try these asap. In time, will you also have a .dp for the Tanker T2 CAPULET? My attempts at reworking this one...well it stinks.
 
I'm not sure what I'd be doing with these so I'd better leave them alone lest I hose something up. Perhaps BD, when you finish tou could post copies of the dp and cfgs?

Thanks for all your hard work... :typing:

Yep, ...T2, Hog Is., and the Tramp Steamer. (both U.S. and J.N.)

I may make a package, ...when all the Aux's are done.

Just follow the orig. instructions, ...and start w/ a new ship folder.

ie.
Liberty Ship AK

1. Start w/ a copy of a "Liberty Ship" ship folder. (or drag'n'copy the contents into a new folder)

2. New SHIP folder name = Liberty_Ship_AK

3. ship.cfg/
title=SHA_Liberty_Ship_AK
sim=SHA_Liberty_Ship_AK

4. SHA_Liberty_Ship_AK.dp

5. CFS2/"mdlnames.txt"/
"Sha_Liberty_Ship_AK"=USS Liberty Ship AK

You should now have a "Liberty Ship AK" ship.


PS. For all ACM ship .dp's, ...you will need this "near_miss" fx. that goes into the CFS2/EFFECTS folder. (just remove the ".txt" extension, ...and drop it in)
 
Probably the dumbest question in a long time, but I just don´t get it: Saving an attachment and changing the file type by removing the .txt extension - How???
When I try to save, I get the window in the picture below: In the filename line, the .txt extension is already gone, and below, in the line specifying the type of file I cannot change anything, so the attachment is saved as a text document.
What am I doing wrong? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
 
File Extensions

Skylane,

Here is a little tutorial on the subject:

1. Open your folder and highlight the file
2. Go to the top tool bar and click on Tools
3. Select "Folder Options" from the drop down menu
4. Select the "View" tab
5. Uncheck the "Hide known extensions" box
7. Highlight your file
8. edit in the new extension
9. Click OK to the warning window
10. I then recheck the "Hide known extension" box
 
Jagdflieger, thank you very much!

I would never have figured this out on my own. Now I can go ahead and build this ship! :jump:
