how would i go about changing a sub so it starts off with a gun so it doesnt need upgrading to get it?


another question is what would i need to do to add a new gun to a sub, something that isnt available as an upgrade but i want to put it on either as the standard equipt or as an upgrade option?

The info you need for the upgrades is in the ...\Data\UPCData\UPCUnitsData\UpgradePacks.upc file. The initial guns are in the .eqp file for the sub (you probably already knew that:yep:). Not sure about career mode, but in single missions the upgrade packs file over-rides the initial info from the subs .upc based on the date (at least that's how I observed it functioning while working on the PT boat).

what i want to do is use a deck gun that is listed as an available upgrade and put it on the AA platform but when i try to replace the 20mm AA gun with a deck gun i just get an empty AA platform deck and the hud shows no AA gun available.

so i guess i need to understand how to change a deck gun so that it will be recognized and used in the game as an AA gun.
