Or do you mean (holy cow) to start all over again from the beginning? :-?

I think, it's not necessarily.. just a new campaign.. maybe this will be enough.

It worked!:D

Thanks mate!!!

Did anybody ever mod this already awesome mod to include the historical availability dates so I won't have to consult a spreadsheet before I buy an upgrade?

Im sure this was the next stage for TheBeast. he just wanted many people to test the equip before doing this last part of his mod.

I have not seen him back on the forum after that message:hmmm:

Several people have asked me if they could continue work on this MOD and I gave them permission to do so but I have not seen anything come to fruition.
At least, not at SubSim.com

I have not even looked at any MOD’s for several months now but I am fairly certain that the Availability Dates are present in the files but commented out for testing purposes.

i.e. Data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData\UpgradePacks.upc

Code:

[UpgradePack 2]

ID= UpackUb7FUMO29Radar

NameDisplayable=UpackVIIFUMO29Radar-Name

Info=UpackVIIFUMO29Radar-Info

Notes=UpackVIIFUMO29Radar-Notes

FunctionalType= UpFTypeSensorRadar

UpgradePackSlotType= UboatType7Radar

ImageIndex=14

Type=NULL

UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptionCurrent= NULL, NULL, 0

UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1=NULL, 1942-06-01, 2000

;UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1=1942-02-01, 1942-06-01, 2000

UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions2=1942-06-01, 1942-08-01, 1000

UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions3=1942-08-01, 1942-10-01, 900

UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions4=1942-10-01, 1943-02-01, 800

UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions5=1943-02-01, NULL, 300

IDLinkUpgradePackElements= EqpFumo29RadarApp, NULL, EqpFuMO29

TrackingID=601

The ";" character will comment a line so the game engine does not read that line for configuration.

Regards!

Could you please tell me when the player gets his hands on new boats if Equipment Upgrades overwrites Open Horizons?

Equipment Upgrades MOD does not overwrite boat availability dates specified in OH Mod.
Files
data\UPCDataGE\UPCCampaignData\CareerOptions.upc
data\UPCDataGE\UPCCampaignData\Flotillas.upc
are not touch by this MOD.

If you want to find out when new boats are available please view the files listed above.

TheBeast kindly made this great mod . Why noone wants to help by adding the availability dates ? I have done it myself .

I was planning to use data\Menu\Data\UpgradesChart.dds chart as guidline for Equipment Upgrade Dates.

But it really depends on how the Campaign is setup.
- When do Aircraft begin using Radar in the Campaign.
- What base is currently designated as Home Port.
- What are the designated Patrol Area's/Mission Requirements.

Germany began using Schnorchel in 1939 but very few uboats (2 or 3) were equiped with a Schnorchel at that time.

Historically, I think it was in 1943 that usage of the Schnorchel became more common place as it was almost required just to survive.

The dates patch is just the Ammunition and UpgradePacks upc files with the comments taken out and the 1938 dates deleted . Do i have permission to upload or i can just give it to you . I dont care either way .
