Is it possible to change the name of your sub?

See title. I really want to rename mine from Gudgeon to Vaughan :yep:

Yep! (I got this info from the Ubi forum as I haven't done it in a while)

Go to your save game directory, usually "C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\My Documents\SH4\data\cfg\SaveGames\" and find the save game you wish to edit. This is easiest done if you just started a new campaign.

You might want to make backups of these files before you begin!

Open "Careertrack.upc" with notepad do a search and replace, search for the current boat name and replace with the new name. Save.

Open "ActiveUserPlayerUnits.UPC" with notepad and do the same.

[UserPlayerUnit 1]
ID=Porpoise
NameDisplayable=Porpoise
UnitName=USS Perch <<< rename the sub here

There should also be a folder called "UPCInitial" with the same two files inside of it. Edit those two files like above.

I think that gets it.

Please make backups before editing. :)

There's a real nice explanation of how to do that here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=677367#post677367):sunny:

(Google is my hero:rock: )


Darn, I really need to search and type faster:damn: :rotfl: :damn:

Hmm...that link is probably clearer than my attempt at telling how.

It also doesn't mention messing with anything inside of the "UPCInitial" folder, so I dunno about that.
