Boats on rivers?

[ST0RM]

I'm building a few quick missions using the Green Thunder Vietnam terrain and came across a couple of issues.

 

I couldnt set the armed fast boats onto a river, only ocean. Is there a way around that? Also, what country code does Vietnam use? I'd like to set some MiGs up to fight my F-5.

 

Thanks!

No boats on river and afaik no way you can put one on a river

 

What do you mean by country code?

country.id.VIETNAM if you are scripting.

 

I believe that if you get the x/y coordinates of where you want to spawn the boat(s), it can be accomplished with coalition.addGroup() or MiST functions. I have not tried this, but I thought that I read this somewhere.

 

Here are some posts that I found about adding ships where they aren't "supposed" to be:

There is a trick, weird but working.

 

Put a boat on the sea. Place the cursor over it and press Ctrl+C.

 

Then place the cursor on the river, and press Ctrl+V.

 

The boats will be copied on rivers BUT they can´t move.

Thank you for all the help. I'll give them a try. Now to look for some sampans.

 

The country code for Vietnam is for liveries and their assignment.

Country code is VNM. It is found in scripts/database/countries.lua

I have another idea for the river boats: As far as I remeber tanks and other ground untits like APCs are able to swim on the river right? So why not creating a mod of a tank unit with a boat shape?

So tempted to take up this challenge but with the changes to water with 2.1 being weeks away, I'd suggest cracking on with a Normandy texture replacement with paddy fields and palm trees :)
