Should it be U-Belchen or U-Belchen Supply Ship?

Hello, it's been ages since I last posted here... SH3 is still an excellent sim...

Question: For the U-tanker mod of Hsie's fixes to work with the surface supply ships the prefix "U-" should be added to the front of the unit's name. Hmmm, in my GWX3 scripted .scr campaign file there are two entries having the same coordinates and their names are: "Belchen" and "Belchen Supply Ship". Which of the two should have the prefix added to the front? Or maybe both?

P.S. Where is the old guard? it seems everyone has gone...

Cheers.

I'd use whichever name shows up on the map though renaming both probably wouldn't hurt anything. Without looking at the GWX files, I imagine the "Belchen Supply Ship" entry is about something besides the actual ship though.

edit: Took a look at the file. "Belchen" is the ship (Type 100) so rename that. The other "Belchen Supply Ship" entry is for the necessary Naval Base entry. Note there are several "Belchen" entries so pick the one you're working with.

Thanks J.P.! I will try with the "U-Belchen" version. I too believe that renaming both would not do any harm, but I will keep it minimal unless the first version doesn't work.

Now that I think about it since one is the Naval Base entry, you wouldn't want to rename that.
Only rename the actual ship entry (it has Type=100 listed).

Yeah, I agree.
