OK Phantom
Looking at your formations again.. I see a problem with (,).. commas. There shouldn't be a comma at the end of the line.
For example, here is the first formation..
[formation.0]
title=Full Georges Leygues class
unit.0=D640 Georges Leygues, 0, 0,
unit.1=D641 Dupleix, 150, -300,
unit.2=D642 Montcalm, -150, -300,
unit.3=D643 Jean de Vienne, 0, -600,
unit.4=D644 Primauguet, 300, -900,
unit.5=D645 La Motte Piquet, -300, -900,
unit.6=D646 Latouche Treville, 0, -1200,
You have a comma at the end of each line that shouldn't be there as far as I can remember (note.. I don't have any of my own formations now..grrrr) No.. I've found an old formation I posted at Flying Stations and it looks like this..
[formation.X]
title=RN fleet
unit.0=Victorious_1966, -400, 400
unit.1=HMS Fearless, 400, 400
unit.2=HMS Glamorgan, 0, 800
unit.3=Leander, 1200, 0
unit.4=Falmouth, 0, 0
unit.5=RFA Green Rover, -1200, 0
unit.6=Penelope, 400, -400
unit.7=VEH_water_tanker03_sm, -400, -400
Note.. no comma at the end of the line.
I also notice that the end value on your single ship formations is 54. Single ship's will always be 0, 0 so 0, 54 will not work. In my sample formation.. Falmouth is the centre of the group.. 0, 0 .. all the other ships are in formation around Falmouth. Glamorgan is directly in front of Falmouth but 800 yards (metres) ahead. So.. the first figure (in the group) refers to the line Falmouth is on or a deviation from it. If I remember right.. a minus figure as the first number is LEFT of the main ship.. a positive number is to the RIGHT of the main ship. The second number is either IN FRONT of the main ship (a positive number) or BEHIND the main ship if it is a MINUS number.
Here's a picture that will explain the numbers better..
Even if the smaller ships are non-descript in that shot.. you can see Victorious and Fearless to the right of that. Behind and inbetween Victorious and Fearless is Falmouth. Directly ahead.. at the head of the group.. is Glamorgan e t c. It takes a bit of fiddling with but you'll get used to it.
Now.. to make all my formations again!!
