REQ: Persist docked ships when saving .inst for pier facility

[Martin2487]

I have a question. If I insert to pier a ship that is why it can not be saved? What is the problem? My idea was that the file with pier will save the ship as well as air bases to aircraft. I thought that in the file can be saved ships just as aircraft to air bases.

Are you using the latest beta?

I've just added a ship to a pier, saved it, reloaded the game its there. Could you please post a save when you get a chance?

Thanks!

Yes I use the latest version(Command v1.11 Release Candidate 10-Build 811) . What specifically do I send it? My problem is that in inst file that creates the game there are no boats. Should I send save games or should I send inst file?

Are you creating your own .inst or using one of the standard ones? If you are using a standard one, then I think just the scen file you are creating.
The port imports wont normally have ships assigned to the piers. You assign them ships in the scenario.

I created an empty pier. I put him through /edit docked boats/ the ship. I did a file export to inst.

[michaelm75au]

Your issue is that your inst export is not storing the ship, then?

[ComDev]

Yeah like Michael said, the problem is INST files?

[michaelm75au]

I just tried to create a pier with ship and exported it as INST. When reloading it, it did not restore the ship, just the pier.
I believe he is comparing it to an airfield INST export, which does seem to restore with any aircraft stationed there.

Changed the thread title to more correct description.

LOL. Yeah this was definitely an "it broke" kind of report.

Anyways. Thank you all for reporting and following up. I've added this to our list.
