CustomModOptions: Cargo Ships-how to board a unit on a ship?

[DoodlesTheDragon]

I've been having some trouble with one of the CustomModOptions, the one titled CARGO_SHIPS, which enables you to board land units on Naval Melee Units to transport them across the oceans.

Problem is, whenever I embark a land unit into a tile with a Naval Melee Unit they're just going in the water as normal. I tried a few different methods to get units on ships, only one worked.

You can use IGE to spawn a unit on a ship. That's the only successful way I found. If you do that the ModOption works as intended. Obviously that's not viable in a normal game.

So anyways, does anyone have an idea for how to make this work in a normal game?

It's probably broken. You'd have to ask on Github that it be reimplemented.

Thank you. Hmm... while this option is certainly cool, it's not a necessity, and I'd rather not put more on the CP Team's plate than there already is, especially considering I seem to be the only person who's wanted to use this option in a while. How's the workload now? From what I've read from you it seems you've been doing a lot of code clean-up recently(at least since December), and are now working on a vassalage master-auto-war mechanic.

Edit: To clarify, if it isn't too much of an inconvenience to fix then I might request it's reimplementation, but if the team's very busy I'd rather not take away time that could be spent elsewhere.

I've asked about this code before, and the bigger issue is that the modder that put it into the CP has moved on, and hasn't maintained this section for years. So, finding out exactly where and how this broke is pretty vexing

That makes two of us.

Alright, I think I won't make a request then. This is the sort of thing that could be done as an optional side quest after the main quest is done. The reward definitely is not worth the effort right now. Thanks pineappledan.
