Hey Ryan - did you find that the waterline of the ship must run along a horizontal line at y coordinate 103? (So, 103 pixels down from the top on the profile image)? That's what I thought but maybe you can reposition the ship image in the Ship Class Editor when adding animations?

Thanks.

Hi...

How can i insert ships in a Scenario and play with them ???

I have provides a SRF File wow in "Unhappy" Tutorial.

But i can´t insert in a Task Force. My new Ship is not listed.

Sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand me. [:(]


Thats the Bismarck

[Unhappy]

Grauer,

Well meinen Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut, so I'll stick to English.

By the looks of the screen shot you've already added the Bismarck to the Ships Class Editor.

You also need to add it to the Ships Editor Screen - so the 'Carrier/Ship Name' field would be Bismarck (presumably) and the Ship Class would be Bismarck (BB) [should be at the bottom of the list box.

Leave Task Group as 'Not Set!'

Now go over to the Task Group Editor Screen, use the Side Select to pick Japanese or Allied...I presume you set it up as Japanese but maybe not. Select a task force (make sure you are on the correct side - Japanese or Allied because the ship only shows up in one or the other). In the 'Available Ships' box at the top-right scroll through the list and you should find one with the name colored green - the green ones are eligible to be added to task groups. Highlight the Bismarck and hit 'Add Ship' at the bottom right of the screen.

Hope that helps.

If not - post some screen shots from the Ship Class Editor/ Ships Editor/ and Taskgroup Editor

Good Luck.
