Please read thread [TEC]Adding Upgrade Packs for more details and information.

This MOD still has a lot of work to be done to it.

Dates and Renown costs still need some adjustment.

There are still many other equipment items that exist in stock game we do not as yet have access to even with this MOD.

PERMISSION FOR USE:
You are free to combine this MOD with others as long as proper credits are given.

Awesome looking work! Downloading now!

:up: THX man !

So what this mod do exactly? What do you mean by "Equipment that already existed in game but we did not have access to"? Which ones?

Basically, I corrected some Type-O errors that prevented some equipment from being listed in the Upgrades Menu.
I also found many equipment items in game that were not exposed to Kapitan's visiting the in port Mechanic.

Please read thread [TEC]Adding Upgrade Packs for more details.


I know that some of these items do not belong on the Typ-VII but as MOD'ing of SH5 progresses, these and many other items will be needed.

This mod add the extra equipment related to the WWII years?

Sounds very good. Do you have a list of the extra equippment on the mod? Just askink because can´t download it now and it seems there will be some conflicts with MO and stoianm renow costs zero mods.

Btw, does the snorkel work on the game? If not big problem and big bug :down: .

i will upload soon a version compatible with the TheBeast mod.... first i want to know if the upgrades are related to the WWII years

It will be great stoi :up:. As soon as we discover what the upgrades are about.

i just verified ... they are related to the year... awsome mod TheBeast:yeah:... i will release soon a version comp with this mod and also one comp with a fistfull of emblem and this mod all togheter

Looking forward to it!

@TheBeast: is the snorkel now functional?

The Snorkel is not functional yet. It is missing a objSnorkel control. This control enables Raise/Lower of snorkel.
As is right now. I know I am not able to get the Snorkel functioning.

I tried the Telescoping Snorkel and it did Raise/Lower but the engine would not run while at Snorkel Depth. So with that said, even if we get the missing controller added, I do not think it will work.

@TheBeast

You will make a version of your mod compatible with ,,a fistfull of emblems mod''?.... a lot of guys around here use that mod

tnx

Very easy change.

Edit Fist full of emblems Equipment.upc and copy all the new emblem equipments from there and paste them at end of my Equipment.upc file.
Then Re-number all the new entries in sequence and save.

Edit Fist full of emblems UpgradePacks.upc and copy all the new emblem Upacks from there and paste them at end of my UpgradePacks.upc file.
Then Re-number all the new entries in sequence and save.
