[TEC] Changing unit types question

[tater]

Say I want to change a unit type, like a subchaser from "patrol craft" to "corvette."

I need to change the unit type in the Sea directory (the unit's cfg file), as well as in the Roster.

I did this, but in old mission where the subchaser was explicitly placed it now gives an error saying that such and such a group has an invalid class entry. What am I missing?

You will also need to alter the campaign/mission files to reflect the change of type

Ah, so when I load an old .mis, the unit type is not refreshed even if I resave then, huh? I need to delete then replace all the instances of that specific ship.

Got it.

You can open in notepad
Seach for that units class name
And manually change the type there before saving
