Fix for deck gun crew slots disappearing.

[wolfeinsamer]

After digging around I have found a really simple method to fix the problem of the deck gun crew slots disappearing.

Simply open the ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc file in a text editor, and remove all instances of "AdditionalRepository". I was able to do this with 1 easy find and replace command. The file can be found in the SH4 folder in your documents. ../SH4/data/cfg/SaveGames/*/ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc

What you are doing is changing the lines like:
[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 9.CrewMemberSlotAdditionalRepository 1]
to read.....
[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 9.CrewMemberSlot 1]

simples :)

Thank you, I will add this link for your simple fix to Coletrains & neumanf15's links that I usually pass out for this annoying problem.

Happy Hunting!

One thing that's very important to note is, first save your game in port.
Then apply this fix.
Then start up and load your saved game.

Also, be sure to remove crew from your gun position before doing this.
