Absolutely. Works just like Scen001 or Scen006, just has more goodies. Can be played PBEM or against the AI.

In the Goodies section under What's New and Scenarios.

Enjoy.

Back to the dry docks, I have noticed that since the game is treating the dry docks as repair ships, when they are in the ship yard it appears that it ignores the shipyard assests when figuring how long it takes to do a repair. Is that a limitation of the program or something that can be looked at?

By the way, I am loving this mod!!!

Not sure I follow this. But yes, ARDs are treated as repair ships (that's why we chose ARD instead of AFD or ABSD, etc). And also yes, ARD are not used when a ship is being repaired in an "actual" shipyard - they are meant to provide shipyard capabilty when none is available.

A floating drydock ain't a shipyard, Bro.

And Thanks.

I know boss, if I would think about my question a little longer before posting it might work better [;)]

To try again, lets use the example of PH with her shipyard. YFD-2 is there and its my contention it would use the shipyard assets to do repairs so the calculation of how long it will take will be based on all the assests including the shipyard. The dock I moved to a foward base only has a repair ship and naval squads so it correctly uses the repair ship/squads to calculate how long it will take to fix the ship. Can the program include the shipyard (when available) to calculate repairs or is it only the dock and AR. Or am I completly confused how this works. [:)]

Thanks

Sorry No. Its either shipyard or floating drydock. I understand that a case could be made for combining them, but no code to do it has been made.

[oldman45]

Thanks, perhaps a bribe of the appropriate adult beverage(s) would help get code added one day [;)]

Not by me, I'm no longer doing that. Wouldn't turn down the beverage however. A nice Springbank Cask strength at about 15 years would do.

Large amounts of negotiable securities work like a champ. Small bills, with non-consequitive serial numbers appreciated.

JWE and Don Just PM your account details and I will send you what you have requested from my bank in Nigeria[:D][:D][:D]. Thanks for the mod and your work on AE.Can I cut and paste some of your ideas guys for my mod ?

[oldman45]

Is this what you had in mind Don

Springbank Cask

Not sure how much I can help you there JWE, the IRS is still concerned about my capital gains I took a few years ago. Seems they didn't care for my math. [8D]

[Historiker]

Hey John,
is there any chance that you revise the building dates of the ships to the time the work on them actually stopped? Work on Yamato was finished on 16th december 1941, while it isn't completed before may 1942 in the game.
I know, this date includes testing, evalutation, training etc - and so is correct. BUT, the Jap player has to pay (via industry) as if this ship is still under construction on the slip.
As a solution, one might let the ship be completed with 1 speed and 1 endurance and an immediate upgrade to its correct dates. This upgrade then lasts the time which was used for testing, training etc. In case of the Yamato, the upgrade would take 180 days.

Springbank yes, but I recommend that you always get Cask Strength (100 proof or slightly more). Distillers generally release the best stuff at cask strength. You can add water to run it down to the 80-86 proof range.

Now, please tell me what are these Capital Gains of which you speak?

[oldman45]

Its a long story and perhaps one day if I ever head back to Texas, you can share a wee drop of Springbank and I will tell you my sad tale of Capital Gains and the IRS.

OK, but by the second bottle I'll be boring you with the sand tale of my Capital Losses.

[oldman45]

So to change how a drydock is looked at in a shipyard vs a forward deployed base is a code issue and cannot be done with a script?

Not quite sure what is meant with these caveats.

A floating Dry dock and a shipyard are 100% different by code and have no interaction whatever. An ARD works the way it works wthout regard to presence of a shipyard and a shipyard does not assist ARD repairs in any way. A shipyard works the way it works without regrad to presence of an ARD and an ARD does not assist shipyard repairs in any way.

If you have an ARD in a base that also contains a shipyard you have two separate repair options. One ship can use one, another ship the other, but no ship can use both.

Hi Torsten,
Unfortunately, no. We are trying to keep the mod (the Lite version, anyway) as close as possible to stock, because if it works as we expect, the sun shines, the creek don't rise, and we are very convincing, some of the things we are doing may (just 'may') find their way into the stock game and scenarios.

Therefore, we have to stick as closely as possible to those dates and times that the majority of consumers have come to expect. It's just not possible to get fancy with non-standard upgrade/conversion options, especially for a ship as visible and important as Yamato.

You have a valid proposition, and will give you all the help and support you wish, but will have to be in the context of your mod. I really hope you understand.
