need some help on basic.cfg file

[makman94]

hello guys,

i need some info about the 'numbers' in basic.cfg file and what exactly each number is representing.

we read ,for example, somewhere in basic.cfg file this (is the starting armament-equips of IXD2 at year 1945) :

Year3=1945
ForeTube30=3 ;T1
ForeTube31=3
ForeTube32=4
ForeTube33=4
ForeResIntern30=3
ForeResIntern31=3
ForeResIntern32=4
ForeResIntern33=4
ForeResExtern30=0
ForeResExtern31=0
ForeResExtern32=3
ForeResExtern33=3
ForeResExtern34=3
ForeResExtern35=3
ForeResExtern36=4
ForeResExtern37=4
ForeResExtra30=3
ForeResExtra31=3
AftTubes30=6
AftTubes31=3
AftResIntern30=3
AftResIntern31=3
AftResExtern30=3
AftResExtern31=3
AftResExtern32=3
AftResExtern33=3
Z01_30=11 ; IX/3
M01_30=-1
A01_30=10
A02_30=10
S01_30=5
SuperCharger_30=-1
Snorkel_30=1262
Batteries_30=1268
AftBatteries_30=1268
Hydrophone_30=1270
Sonar_30=1274
Radar_30=1275
RadarWarningReceiver_30=1282
Decoy_Launcher_30=1284
SonarCoatings_30=-1
RadarCoatings_30=-1

i know what torpedo each number is representing at green
-------------------------------------------------------------
at blue are correct the followings?
Z01 is marking the conning tower type
M01 is marking the deck gun (i guess that -1 here means ''no gun'')
A01-A02 are marking the AA guns
S01 is something about AA guns again (?) [ 20mm Vierling is a AA gun ?]

Does anyone have a list of what these 11 (at Z01), 10 (at A01 and A02) and 5 (at S01) are specifying ?
--------------------------------------------------------------
at brown I need exactly the same : a list of what these 1262,1268,1268,1270,1274,1275,1282,1284 are specifying.

also , i have one more question for moders : at .sns file of ixd2 appears that its radar is 'NULL' till the end of war but on the other hand we see at basic.cfg that it is equiped with a radar at 1945 (and earlier.../43 and /44).
in game the sub has indeed a radar so the question is which file is altering the final sensors of players boat ?

thank you in advance for any help - info on the theme

The designations you've specified above (Z01, M01 etc.) are correct. As for the individual Idx identifiers, they're also listed in the basic.cfg file. For example, Z01_30=11 identifies the turm type as a Turm9c_3_hd.

*******

To discover this, scroll down to the [Z01] section and read the Idx number:

[Z01]
DaysSpent=21
NbGuns=13
Idx0=0
Dummy0=data/objects/Turm2a_1_hd
Idx1=1
Dummy1=data/objects/Turm2d_1_hd
Idx2=2
Dummy2=data/objects/Turm2d_2_hd
Idx3=3
Dummy3=data/objects/Turm7b_1_hd
Idx4=4
Dummy4=data/objects/Turm7b_2_hd
Idx5=5
Dummy5=data/objects/Turm7c_1_hd
Idx6=6
Dummy6=data/objects/Turm7c_2_hd
Idx7=7
Dummy7=data/objects/Turm7c_3_hd
Idx8=8
Dummy8=data/objects/Turm7c_4_hd
Idx9=9
Dummy9=data/objects/Turm9c_1_hd
Idx10=10
Dummy10=data/objects/Turm9c_2_hd
Idx11=11
Dummy11=data/objects/Turm9c_3_hd
Idx12=12
Dummy12=NULL; data/objects/Turm21_hd

*******

The same holds true for each of the other categories as well. For example, 10 at A01 and A02 indicates a '20mmShield_Twin_UFlak_High.' Once again you can find this listed in the [A01] and [A02] sections of the file. Last but not least, 5 at S01 identifies '20mmVierling_High.'

Hope this helps and good luck! :sunny:

Usually a none at station is marked "-100"
as you say in blue is Z01_30=11 ; "whatever" So this is tower-year-type.
M01_30=-100 so this is no deck gun at station (0= large gun. 1=small)
A01,2 small aa guns S01 large aa gun mount

in orange ...

SuperCharger_30=-1 (supercharger-year=-1 none at station)

Ok as an example .... Decoy_Launcher_30=1284 ( the number at the end relates to the type of item used in this case Bold type 1 where as 1288 is Bold type 5

All items are listed at the end of the basic file and contain the end numbers within the items list I.E .....

hope this helps you out

@Fish In The Water : sure that helped me a lot !! in fact you gave 'light' to the whole theme !
thank you very much for your help :up:



M01_30=-100 so this is no deck gun at station (0= large gun. 1=small)


@Seawolf : you mean -1 right ? (i don't see anywhere -100)
also, i didn't understand what you mean by that ''0= large gun. 1=small''.can you explain it a little further ?
about your rest info (about the ammo 'numbers') ...sure helped me a lot !
thank you very much too for your help :up:


still stands the last question : at .sns file of ixd2 appears that its radar is 'NULL' till the end of war but on the other hand we see at basic.cfg that it is equiped with a radar at 1945 (and earlier.../43 and /44).
in game the sub has indeed a radar so the question is which file is altering the final sensors of players boat ?

anyone knows something about it ???

You're very welcome, glad I could help...

Not sure about the .sns, but hopefully someone will be along with an answer shortly. :sunny:

@Seawolf : you mean -1 right ? (I don't see anywhere -100)

Yes so I noticed you must be using a basic file that is different to mine or
has been changed :hmmm:

also, I didn't understand what you mean by that ''0= large gun. 1=small''.can you explain it a little further ?


Sure take a look below

[AMMO_TYPE0];10.5cm SK C/32
Idx=0 {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Large deck gun
Year=1939
Month=1
SS=100
AP=100

Idx=1 {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Small deck gun
Year=1939
Month=1
SS=100
AP=100

about your rest info (about the ammo 'numbers') ...sure helped me a lot !
thank you very much too for your help

Wow ok the .sns is the basic set-up of the sub as I understand it. I.E what a sub can or cannot have added to it

However the basic file controls any or all add-ons to the sub.
so if you change the IXD2 listing so that it can appear for use in 1939
(as seen in my battle/gunsub mod) then it will be available at that time
you have to add the earlier start config's to the basic file.

So if the basic file shows that some item is added at a certain time
then it will appear on that years sub.

Again However you must also change the date when any item you want to
add is also available to upgrade or else it can cause problems.

thank you very much SeaWolf U-57 :up:

@Seawolf : you mean -1 right ? (i don't see anywhere -100)

In my game EMEA edition, the -100 is used exclusively for the type XXI, taken from careers.cfg :

SubType=3
SubVersion=0
Z01=15 M01=-100
A01=9
A02=9
S01=-100
S02=-100
S03=-100

from careers_0.cfg :

SubType=-1
SubVersion=-1
Z01=15
M01=-100
A01=9
A02=9
S01=-100
S02=-100
S03=-100

hope this help :salute:
