Default USNI Data

After many, many years away, I have just gotten back at playing the awesome DW, now with the RA Mod.

Does anyone know is the RA USNI database extractable? It would be nice to have a properly compiled USNI database in PDF that I can read offline, outside of the game.

I use database editor.

Before launch make database folder backup.

After launch choose:

...\Dangerous Waters\Database\object.eod


download

I managed to open up the database but they are all in data format.

Does anyone has a compiled PDF format file that list all the ships / subs / etc., like in the format shown when the USNI is accessed in game?

It would make for a much more readable format offline away from the computer.

If you have RA, I believe it comes with an Excel spreadsheet of sonar frequency values. Often, the sonar values are as/more important than the visual makeup of a ship, I think.

If you wanted a 'visual recognition guide', there are a few good places on the net - the CIA's Freedom of Information Page, old computer game manuals (like Red Storm Rising)

Check out Annex B of this doc:
https://www.cia.gov/library/readingr...ent/0005512850

Or this:
https://www.eugeneleeslover.com/US-N...-B-PAGE-1.html

That helps me most of the time. If I need more technical information, say, about a torpedo coming at me, it only takes a few seconds to check the UNSI database.

Just my 2c,
Stew
