UPC Campaign Data

[philjk]

Can anyone help with getting a modded sub into the single player campaign?
Can this be accomplished by copying stock data file and entering modded subs details?

There's three files you will need for this. Flotillas.upc, CareerStart.upc, and NSS_boatname.upc. In the NSS_boatname.upc you want to look for the line that says "ID="


[UserPlayerUnit 1]
ID=688i
NameDisplayable=688i SSN
UnitName= USS San Juan (SSN 751)
Type=688i
UpgradeClass=0
UnitInterval= 1920-10-29, 1945-12-31
ExternalClassName=SS688i
Nationality=American
CrewRanks=12
Evolution= Normal
Damage= 0
TextureName=data/Submarine/NSS_688i/NSS_688i_T01.tga
LightmapTextureName=NULL
NormalmapTextureName= NULL
MenuSilhouetteTextureName= 688i_01.tga

Next we want the Flotillas.upc file. Here's my entry for Flotilla 1:


[Flotilla 1.UserPlayerUnitType 6]
ID= F1688i
NameDisplayable= SSN 688i
AvailabilityInterval= NULL, NULL
IDLinkUserPlayerUnitType= 688i
UnitTypeCommonality= 2
IDFlotillaLinkTransferTo= NULL
You will also have to assign objectives to this boat. I copy the gato or balao's objectives and rename them accordingly. Now the CareerStart.upc. This is pretty simple because you just have to write/paste in a few characters:


[CareerStart 1.Flotilla 1]
ID= C1Flotilla1
NameDisplayable= Pearl Harbor
IDLinkFlotilla= PearlHarborCommand ; link to ID in Flotilla upc file
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits= F1688i, 2, F1Porpoise, 4, F1Tambor, 5, F1Gar, 4 ; enumeration of ID(s) that point to submarine upc file
FlotillaBriefingText=
FlotillaCommonality= 1
F1= Flotilla 1, F2= Flotilla 2 and so on.
