Yes of course. It´s no problem. You must just follow the rules of the coding in the basic.cfg to get more torps and ammo.
My basic.cfg is too big to be loaded up in the forum (over 19,5kb). So here is it in textform. Just copy and paste.
Subs have more torps and ammo. All subs are able to carry more crew. Equipment is given early. No fatique for the crew. You need more results for being promoted or get awards - your crew too. All torps in the sub are basicly electric powered (Type II and III).

Base of this changing was the basic.cfg coming up with LSH5.1 - but the changes for ammo and torps will work with any other mod, too i think.

Thanks for that

Do I only need to change the ammo part

[SUBMARINE_AMMO3]; VIIC
Type=1
Version=1
ForeTubes=4
AftTubes=1
ForeResIntern=6
ForeResExtern=2
ForeResExtra=4
AftResIntern=2
AftResExtern=2
ShellSlots=12
NbYears=7
Renown=4
SNK_MASK=NSS_Uboattype7_SNK_mask


Or is there more I must change.

Also, is this the only file to change or is there a file in Commander to change too if loading through Commander??

Thanks

You have to change the loadout for every jear of the sub:
This job have to be done for every year, because the lines change:
So you have to look for the years you are changing. Mistake calls ctd´s or no torps at all.

If your commander has it own basic.cfg you have to change them as well.

Thank you very much


:salute::subsim:

Yes, I'd be interested in that basic.cfg as well :O: (I just see you already posted it in the meantime) Could you color in blue that part where you put more ammo for deck-gun please? Danke schön :)

And no, I am still using Win XP and all automatic stuff are turned off/forbidden/banished from my computer. I HATE it when any software thinks it can do anything on its own without my knowledge.

My config: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual 5000+ (2,6Ghz), 2Gb DDR2 RAM 800Mhz, Gigabyte Radeon HD6750 1Gb DDR3 videocard. Should be enough for any mods for Sh3... I'm only playing on 1024x768. never bigger resolution-no widescreen ever.

Oh and also, if we already talk about tweaking, is there a way of giving more ROOM to bow or stern quarters too? I hate when I am forded to press my men to exhaustion, I'd like them to be rested and fell confortable while under my command :)

You´re wellcome. It´s very easy:

and
So far about this.
I do it the same way. Once a week i let my machine look for updates.
I have a little bit more power. More than required for SH3 with mods. But sometimes i used to test multiplayer missions. One player with my real machine and 4 players in virtuell machines - that´s a good stress-test for every PC.
About the crew: I´m not able to give them more space. The crew.cfg files are not talking to me. Sorry about that.

Sehr schön, nice rig you have there, indeed :) AMD FX-8150 is a really exclusive and rare piece of hardware, in my part of the world at least. I could never laid my hands on one of those FX processors - even the old generation ones, and believe me I searched a lot.

Yes it´s a very nice machine. But it´s still not able to bring me breakfast in the morning and it doesn´t make coffee, too. :woot: But the rest is just fine.

You don't need bigger rest quarters, just fewer bodies. I run with minimum crew: employ the exact number of crewmen needed to fill every slot in the electric engines room, the control room, radio/sonar shack and both rest quarters space when submerged. Keep the diesel room and torpedo room(s) slots empty. That way you will never have people 'resting' where they can still accumulate fatigue.

This will sometimes leave you a bit short when loading torpedoes at both ends at the same time and/or manning the guns but you can't have everything.

I also run with no more than four officers so they get a break too. It makes the boat more efficient IMO.

KH

I must say that I am happy my computer doesnt make my coffe in the morning, I would thow it in his face. I cant drink ANy coffe made by anyone except me.
I like to make my coffe myself, I make it very special (with cinnamon and ginger and honey) - and is also a ritual of awakening.

That is exactly what I try to do, to keep the two torpedo rooms empty, couse I always forget about those guys and they are always tired. The extra crew I need, because when at combat I like to have enough crew on the repair brigade. So I was thinking of tweaking the aft tube compartiment to be a refuge for the lazy guys can go there and rest and smoke - without my knowledge of course. (I very rarely use the aft tubes)

by the way, where did my profile picture go? I had a sailor picture looking like Nicholas Cage (just as Paul has), how can I put it back?

Because i play without fatique, i´m able to have a perfekt crew. When i start a career in 1939 on type VII my crew looks like that:
https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/71...bc1tanly4g.jpg
The officers have 3 qualifications. For example the guy at the tower has watchmen, deck and flak gun quali.
But all crew members have the lowest rank and the lowest experience.

Basic CFG file
 

Never really thought of changing the basic cfg file for all these changes...just never occured to me to do that.


Is it easy and what are the general rules for doing it????

Is a change in SHCommander required too ???

Yes it is very easy. Just open your basic.cfg and search for the lines behind [SUBMARINE0] (type II), [SUBMARINE1] (type VII), [SUBMARINE2] (type IX) and [SUBMARINE3] (type XXI).
If you change this in the basic.cfg you can "built" your perfect crew in the crew_config_II_1.cfg (instead of "II" set VII, IX or XXI for other types). For this you can easily copy and paste your crew from the file crew_career_**.cfg out of your career - if you want to edit your guys with the commander.
If it changes anything on basic.cfg or crew_config_**_*.cfg depending on crew, yes you have to make changes there, too.
