Phobosdeimos71 -> Unit Report in Midway Scenario (8/31/2019 7:56:08 PM)
Hello I am playing the Midway 1942 scenario that came with TOAW 4. When I went to check out the USS Yorktown Unit Report screen it displays the following. 1/1 (90%) 1/3 Yorktown... 1/1 (90%) 1/3 Yorktown... 1/1 (90%) 1/3 Yorktown... What exactly does that mean? I also put the Equipment256 file made by Josant in the Graphics Override Directory but the Yorktown displays as an Ironclad/ Pre-Dreadnought not an aircraft Carrier. Can I change this?

The Yorktown is modeled in three pieces - to give it the ability to base three air units on it. It starts with 10% damage. quote: I also put the Equipment256 file made by Josant in the Graphics Override Directory but the Yorktown displays as an Ironclad/ Pre-Dreadnought not an aircraft Carrier.

Thanks Curtis. quote: I also put the Equipment256 file made by Josant in the Graphics Override Directory but the Yorktown displays as an Ironclad/ Pre-Dreadnought not an aircraft Carrier. Can I change this? I uploaded the Equipment256 file that I have placed in my Graphics override folder for you to see. Have I done this correctly.

That doesn't do anything, since Midway 42 has its own equipment file. What do you mean "the Yorktown displays as an Ironclad/ Pre-Dreadnought"?

If you look at the Unit Report for the Yorktown right where it says 1/1 (90%) 1/3 Yorktown... 1/1 (90%) 1/3 Yorktown... 1/1 (90%) 1/3 Yorktown... There is a graphic of a Ship to its left side. It shows a some sort of battleship not and aircraft carrier

Now, there are many 3D icons for naval equipment. And the Yorktown is shown as an aircraft carrier in that: [image]local://upfiles/14086/44F73D14BF59408E9198A70F792780A7.jpg[/image] Midway 42 might be the one scenario that it would be better to play in 3D mode.

Those 3D ones do come in handy for a naval scenario. Josant has a carrier in his graphic file, so I stuck in here. Does it look good enough? I think it looks a little rough. Maybe somebody can come up with one better. If so, I can do the same with it. However, it won't work for everything because it needs a 'custom' eqp file so it has to be added sce by sce.

Bob, if you want it this is the file. It uses the standard file, with the CV added to a blank spot. It is at the lower right so it is easy to find. To the rest of you, you can't use it unless you also make a custom .eqp file!

This will be addressed down the road someday.
