CHS Merchants Question

[GaryChildress]

First off, well done everyone who was involved in CHS!! [&o]

I have a question for whomever may be able to answer, JWE submitted his latest merchants a while back giving CHS slot numbers for them. Are these slot numbers still valid in CHS 2.0 so that I can easily switch them out. Were any merchant slots changed which would effect the numbering of JWE's last updated merchants art? [&:]

[Halsey]

Along the same line.
Which slots do the Soviet Navy now disrupt, and which ships got moved from them?

I don't want to lose all my work with the graphic modifications that's been done.

I don't have a list, unfortunately. From memory, I followed his numbering as much as possible, but there may have been a change or two. The only way to be sure is to do an audit of the ship class data - something which I do not have the time for presently.

This one is a lot easier to answer. Here is a list of the Soviet ship classes and bitmap numbers lifted from the ship class file:

Code: Select all

 Slot    Class                   Bitmap
 1651	Kirov	                142
 1652	Leningrad	        143
 1653	Gnevnyi	                145
 1654	Novik	                144
 1655	S	                126
 1656	ShCh	                146
 1657	L	                127
 1658	Converted AK	        346
 1659	Fugas	                129
 1660	Medium AP 1 (Soviet)	342
 1661	Medium AP 2 (Soviet)	342
 1662	Small AK 1 (Soviet)	346
 1663	Small Tanker(Soviet)	391
 1664	LSI (Soviet)	        364
 1665	LCT (Soviet)	        373
 1666	Small AK 2 (Soviet)	346
 1667	G5	                147
 

There was no disruption or movement of other ships to make way for the Soviets.

Thanks Andrew![;)]

Thanks Andrew![;)]

One thing I should have explained more clearly - the Soviet Aks and APs are reusing existing ship art, as you may have noticed. They don't have bitmaps of their own that have displaced the previous bitmaps.

That's cool, merchants are interchangeable anyway.
I was just curious whether or not I would have to modify my combat ship panels.
Doesn't look like it.

Thanks for all you guys and your work.[&o]
