Hi Lowengrin,

 

It would be great to un-hardcode the ships and add a shiproles.dcg where we could list ships by their roles like:

 

[Transport]

tramp

lcvp

tral

daihatsulc

mfp

newmoddedship

 

[CV]

USSEssexCV9

IJNAkagiCV

newmoddedCarrier

 

[bB]

USSBBGeneric

newmoddedBattleship

 

This would allow DCG to take advantage of the large amount of mod content available that may not adhere to the capital ship naming schemes and have campaigns with more diverse merchant navies.

Yes, unfortunately, back before mods I'd hardcoded them.

 

You can specify military ship classes through the shipnames.dcg file.  But you can't do it with merchant ships.

Thanks for the answer,

 

Ah, I see the two letter codes now. That's great!
