The Gallus Refit: a Long Haul Cruising Smack (Gallus Hold Fix 1.6.0)

Red Yeti Shipwright

The Old Chronian mod's Gallus, a 13 m fishing smack with a bare hold, refitted

to live aboard: a fifth larger every way, a framed and ballasted hold you can

walk and crouch through, floors, a cabin under a deck house, a chart desk, a

berth, a stern pit by the tiller, a deck laid in teak, rails, ratlines, a

bowsprit net, ten liveries and three finishes. Everything is bought at the

shipyard, one piece at a time, with the ship's own parts. Nothing in the Old

Chronian mod itself is changed.

This is an add-on. You need the original mod first. The Gallus and the

whole Old Chronian fleet are the work of Aquilartz, the original modder.

His Old Chronian ship mod must be installed before this one: without it

there is no Gallus to refit. Old Chronian Fixes is needed as well. This

refit is made with his permission.

The illustrated brochure, Gallus_Refit_Brochure.html, is in this

package: open it in any browser.

Requirements

• Sailwind, BepInEx 5 (installed by Mod Manager / r2modman)
• The Old Chronian ship mod by Aquilartz (the Gallus herself). It is

a Discord mod, not, so a mod manager cannot fetch it:

install it by hand FIRST. This add-on does nothing without it.

• Old Chronian Fixes (Discord, with Old Chronian). Her bilge pump is the

Caelanor's pump from that mod, cut down to her size; install it by hand

too. Only the pump needs it: without it everything else still works, and

the shipyard list shows "Bilge Pump: needs Old Chronian Fixes" in its

place.

That is all it needs. It works with or without the Old Chronian Refit and

Dangerous Waters.

Optional:

• Configuration Manager (F1) to change settings in the game.

It runs beside NANDFixes and NANDTweaks. (NANDFixes 1.4.3's shipyard text wrap

could hang on long part names; this plugin guards it.)

Install

Unzip into BepInEx\plugins\. You should get:

BepInEx\plugins\GallusHoldFix\GallusHoldFix.dll

BepInEx\plugins\GallusHoldFix\GallusTextures\ (45 pictures)

BepInEx\plugins\GallusHoldFix\OldChronianReadable\ (the Gallus, readable)

Any folder under plugins will do, as long as the two folders stay beside

the DLL. Start the game. The settings file

BepInEx\config\com.dixiecapt.sailwind.gallusholdfix.cfg is written on the

first run.

The Gallus, made readable

This plugin fits everything by measuring the Gallus's own hull, deck and

rigging, and the Old Chronian ship file as handed out keeps that out of

reach. So the package carries the Gallus again, identical but for that one

flag, in OldChronianReadable\. On the first start the plugin backs up the

stock gallus file in the Old Chronian folder as gallus.orig.bak and puts

the readable one in its place. It touches only the stock file it recognises,

says what it did in the log, and can be switched off (F1, Advanced settings,

"Swap in the readable Gallus"). She looks and sails exactly as before. If you

already have the Old Chronian Refit or Dangerous Waters, they have done the

same and nothing more happens. To undo it, delete gallus and rename

gallus.orig.bak back to gallus.

What changes as soon as she loads

• Her size. 1.20 longer, 1.236 beamier, 1.20 deeper: about 16 m on deck

and 4.6 m in the beam. Her weight and buoyancy follow. (Settings, Size,

"Enlarge the Gallus" turns it off.)

• Her hold. You can walk forward from the foot of the aft ladder. Frames

under every deck beam, a keelson, stone ballast, a bilge. Loft ladders at

both hatches that stow themselves under the lid.

• Crouching. Aboard her your body is a man's height, so you use the

game's crouch key to go under the deck, and you stand again by yourself

where there is room.

• Small things. 100 m of anchor rope; no rain splashes inside the hull;

her mast hammocks lifted clear of the rail.

What you can buy, and where

Take her into any shipyard and look under Other. Prices are in that

port's own coin.
