I have been told from another forum that I should log onto this forum and download other ships so I can buy them to add to my current game. How do I do it. I regret to say that I'm not computer literate.

hi frank,
the guys doing the ships have nice websites, where you can simply
download their self-made ships.
just visit the threads to find the url's.
if yo've downloaded a ship, save the data part in a xml file (e.g. via notepad) and save it to the user addon folder in the ship section.
there are also subfolders, where to put in the top and sideviews.

i hope that will help you.

regards,

Christian

you need to add the metalware, it seems to be mssing in the goods file,
the program checks if a good offered in a town is also defined in the goods definition files.

G'day Rolf,
I take this opportunity to wish you good health and good luck in the New Year.

As you know I'm not computer literate. I too wish to use the add-ons.Unfortunately I do not know how to go about it. Even reading your reply to avangarde79 doesn't make sense. Is there a way to teach an old man how to simply show how to do it

Regards

it's only meant, that you have to add the goods the port you added offers.

Lets say one of the goods in the good.xml is "Coal"
When adding a new harbor this has to be added to the town.xml in the line <fracht> in this way:
<fracht> Coal,100,next freight,100,more freight,100</fracht>

If you miss a comma or some such the computer will not find it.
the cargo has to be spelled exactly as in the good.xml file!
Patience and proper spelling is of the essence!
