How adding new subs ?

[kungfuserge]

Hello ;
This is my first post (newbie)
I am looking forward adding new submarines into the data/submarine/ folder; and I have downloaded one in the mod section ...."USS-187_Sturgeon"
I was wondering how to make it appear in the game ...as I have opened the folder I can only see .dds files ...so I feel confused about the 3ds files ; which are they ? ( as the original (submarine) folders contains more files than the one in the pack I have downloaded) ....http://freelog.chez.tiscali.fr/emoticon/@GregLand/bc.gif

Ps: Can software as Milkshape 1.8 or 3dsmax edit the 3D files ?
thanks

Welcome to Subsim
the USS-187_Sturgeon is no real new submarine
it is only a submarine with new textrues
the 3d objects are in the files with the extension .dat
but this files are very complex, and so it is difficult to add a new sub
..there are some Ruissians who entered some new subs
but they are difficut to get
Have a look in the forum: SH4 modsworkshop (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=219)
There is a sub wich name is Narwhal(it is included in the biggest and most famous modpack 'Trigger Maru'(first thread))
