looks just fine to me. everything's in order, nothing totally wrong. Are you experiencing CTD's or anything strange?

The UnitPart8Gato.upc should be named UnitPart1Gato.upc.

With gato file as UnitPart8Gato.upc it conflicts with UnitPart8Narwhal.upc and may cause the system to CTD.

Curious on any info you may have, since you certainly have a lot more knowledge than I do. In the Japanese Campaign we are working on, UnitParts 10 causes a conflict with Unitparts 1 causing the tower not to appear on #1.

Using #01 does not work. Also there is no conflict with #11, only #1 and #10 so I did a test and found that #2 and #20 would also cause a conflict. (we don't have 20 but I tried it to see what would happen.)

Anyway that made me a little curious as to your comment to make the Gato #1, in you experience would that cause a problem with #10?

But we also had the problem with two numbers the same as above, two #8, but I have not tested in the Fleet Boats side of it.

The system does not appear to have been designed for more than 9 Subs. When building OM had a major confict with Unit1 ( IXD2) when I creates a new sub. Your statement above is correct and the workaround is to have a "dupe" enter for the part 1 and part 10 upc files (i.e. UnitPart1Gato.upc and UnitPart10Gato.upc )

OK, thanks for the info Lurker. We didn't have a problem since the IXD2 being German is not being used in the Japanese Campaign. But it is good to know what you did for a workaround, in case we decide to add it later.

Oh, So the Ohio is interfering.:damn:
Would giving the Ohio no number help?

My temporary solution is getting rid of Sargo class.

I think no matter what you are going to have a conflict somewhere. So sacrificing another boats CT is about the only option I see.

One question, has the Ohio's conning tower changed over its lifetime? If it has not then just put the conning tower.upc stuff in the subs.upc file. You don't even need that file. It is written that way so the conning tower is separate and can be changed and then added to the sub just like a different deck gun would be. Of course the compartments would have to be renumbered and other sections renumbered, but it will work, and it sounds a lot more difficult than it actually is.

I had wondered about being able to do that. I'll start doing that and see what I get.:hmmm:

Noticed I forgot to put in the other step, combine the tower.dat .sim .zon etc, but that is just a simple import and link it.
