Well - on one side I am interested in his solution of the problem, but on the other side I wouldn't use the tool. It's not that I never cheated the game, but if I'd wish to do so, I'd mod the files myself - just for fun.

But CaptainJon should be interested, I guess?

Spanish is not alien - and Google Translate is our friend if necessary.

[CaptainJon]

Yeah, I would be! The no-English thing might be a hassle tho :O Unless it can be translated--even if not perfectly so long as i get the basic understanding. Thanks! *salute*

^How, has it gone for you?

[CaptainJon]

I don't know. I must be doing something Wrong. I edited the dates in basic and flotilla...no new torpedos? Is it possible for you to throw up a quick Youtube step by step please and thanks? I dont get what I am doing wrong. That would be good.

What change in Basic file?

[Mittelwaechter]

Just modded my game to check my more and more defective memory

Falke in 1940 - available in the base - and two as standard loadout in the tubes.

The Falke is T5 - not T4. My bad - this SH3 mixed stipulation confuses me constatntly.

But all other provided instruction is correct.


Do you load any flotilla mod (i.e. GWX Alternative Flotillas)?

If so - you have to mod this modded file to have your changes to be loaded.

Same is true for the Basic.cfg.

[CaptainJon]

I use Legend of Silent Hunter 3 if that's any help. But yeah, I made sutre it is T5 and the date is for prototype like January 1939 and i guess the "production" model? is like Febuary 1939. Heres what I did to my Flotilla.cfg maybe thats what I am doing wrong? Let me know if you can see this image:

No Google account available. No picture to be seen.

Upload your picture to Subsim you must - or any public pic hoster (i.e. abload.de) you shall use.

Never heard of 'Legend of Silent Hunter 3' mod - Google doesn't find it either.

You change two dates in Basic.cfg - let's use the Falke:

In your installation path: (C:\GAMES\)Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg\Basic. cfg

[TORPEDO_TYPE5];T IV (G7es) - Falke
Idx=5
Year=1940 ;1943
Month=7
PrototypeYear=1939 ;1942
PrototypeMonth=11
Renown=0

A prototype will be available in Nov. '39 and the Falke is a regular in your base stock from July '40. (Don't know if the prototype does do anything here).

The semicolon ; makes the game ignore the rest of the line - here the original dates

Now you edit your Flotilla.cfg

In your installation path again: (C:\GAMES\Ubisoft\)SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg\Flotil la.cfg

I'm with the 7th in St. Nazaire - so I modified

for 1939 and the following block - after the 'ordered Grid data'

T5_211=12
PlayerStartRenown21=500

For any additional year you have to modify the related block of data.
You can't copy from 1939 to 1940 - as the data is different - the game logic expects different data for different years (T5_200 or T5_210).


You have to know, if your Legend Mod modifies the data originally kept in the installation path. If so - modify the modded files Basic.cfg and/or Flotilla.cfg.

Then start a new career - in August 1940 (you run SH3 Commander?) (nah! September 1940! The base moved in September!) - in St. Naz - with the 7th Flotilla - or whatever you have modded - and the Falke will show up in your regular base stock - for you to loadout it into your Uboat.

If you want to have the default loadout poppin' up with Falke torpedos in the tubes - you have to modify the Basic.cfg at a different location again - use Richi's Tool - or manually change your desired Uboat type.

For the Type VII C in the installation path (or modded path) Basic.cfg:

[SUBMARINE_AMMO3]; VIIC
Type=1
Version=1
ForeTubes=4
AftTubes=1
ForeResIntern=4
ForeResExtern=1
ForeResExtra=3
AftResIntern=1
AftResExtern=1

AftResIntern00=0
AftResExtern00=0
Z01_00=5 ; VIIC/1
M01_00=1
A01_00=8
...

to have two Falke torpedos in tube 2 and 3 - in 1939.

Modifiy the following blocks accordingly - for the other years of war. (Afair there were no Type VII C in 1939 and the game doesn't offer them - so modify the type VII B data for 1939 - if you want a Type VII)


Modify those files that are really loaded by the game (check your mods folder for the Basic.cfg and Flotilla.cfg and modify these) - and start a new career.

Edit: If you use JSGME or SH3 Commander - you have to understand what they do - and where to find the correct files to be loaded.
