Question about modding campaign.
 

I have 3-4 careers of different types, 1 is for a realistic one, one is for just trolling and shooting, and I want to create one that mimics a nuclear sub career. I intend to use a XXI boat with unlimited diesel, air, and batteries to simulate a reactor but I don't want to start at the tail end of the war. How do I make the XXI available in 1939?

You might have some luck here:

I have not used this mod or tinkered with u-boat availability, maybe someone who has (or knows another way get the job done) can offer more suggestions.

Yep it worked, even came with a mod so it works with commander. Thanks :) Last thing on the wish list is to get a mod to make all torpedoes available in 1939, yea I know I'm probably making all the history buffs here shaking their heads lol

You're very welcome! :salute:

If you want a type XXI out at 1939 try this link:

Hope this helps...

Yep that's the exact one I used, now I'm trying to find where SH3 keeps files related to torpedoes.

Found it, so if everything is like this then I assume all torps will be ready by 1939.

just use JSGME to install it
(just google it, it's not hard to find)

The Submarine is installed with no issues, but so far I haven't found a mod for torpedoes so I'm doing it manually.

Edit--my mod didn't work back to the drawing board.

Isn't there a utility that allows you to customize torpedoes? Was it not called SH3 Mini Tweaker? I'm not sure if that will make torpedoes available ahistorically.

There are no obstacles to get all the eels from the beginning
 

Listen with long ears on the Frau and you will understand soon,how you should proceed :yep:

Will do and K-61, I'm running into a bunch of dead links regarding SH3 Mini Tweaker. Word is that the creator's site is permanently down so i'm searching to see if someone else has uploaded a copy. Search in the subsim download section yielded nothing.

No they will not do eels historically,
 

but use S3D instead if you want to change anything, but the backup is necessary, do not forget...

Ok after doing research the XXI comes with the most advanced torpedoes available. I'll try to tweak them just to see how to mod should the need arise. BTW S3D doesn't recognize any files in the game.

Edit---looks like I'll have to find a way anyhow because when i use them up in patrol I may lose them and be stuck with out of date torps.

Here is a link,
 

Thanks! This project's coming along.

The only correct way to play is the way that you enjoy :up:

Absolutely, what makes SH3 so great is that you can play it so many different ways. missions or careers, reloading or DiD, and a sliding scale of realism. Everyone plays the way that gives them the most pleasure.

S3D opens the .dat files.:03:

Wolfies Tweek Pak will let you change your torpedoes without messing with the .cfg files. I've uploaded it to: http://www.mediafire.com/?s4o2gdegjfp8cr1

If you want to play around manually, here is a guide to adjusting torpedoes in your basic.cfg:

The torpedo type is contained in basic.cfg under [SUBMARINE_AMMO].

As an example, the XXI torpedoes are under [SUBMARINE_AMMO10]. My comments are in red.
ForeTubes=6 Number of forward tubes
AftTubes=0 Number of aft tubes
ForeResIntern=17 Number of internal torpedoes forward
ForeResExtern=0 Number of external torpedoes forward
ForeResExtra=0 Number of extra torpedoes forward
AftResIntern=0 Number of internal aft torpedoes
AftResExtern=0 Number of external aft torpedoes
ShellSlots=10
NbYears=7 Number of years the u-boat is available
Renown=11
Year0=1939 The year you're trying to adjust - each year has a different loadout
ForeTube00=9 The type of torpedo in the first forward tube. Types are below
ForeTube01=9 Second torpedo tube
ForeTube02=9
ForeTube03=3
ForeTube04=3
ForeTube05=3
ForeResIntern00=9 First internal reserve
ForeResIntern01=9
ForeResIntern02=9
ForeResIntern03=3
ForeResIntern04=3
ForeResIntern05=3
ForeResIntern06=3
ForeResIntern07=3
ForeResIntern08=3
ForeResIntern09=3
ForeResIntern010=3
ForeResIntern011=3
ForeResIntern012=3
ForeResIntern013=3
ForeResIntern014=3
ForeResIntern015=3
ForeResIntern016=3

Torpedo types:
[TORPEDO_TYPE0];T I (G7a)
Idx=0 Torpedo type per the list above
Year=1939 Year torpedo is first available
Month=8 Month torpedo is first available
Renown=0 Renown cost
[TORPEDO_TYPE1];T I FaT I (G7a)
Idx=1
Year=1939
Month=8
PrototypeYear=1939 Year prototype torpedo is available
PrototypeMonth=8 Month prototype torpedo is available
Renown=100
[TORPEDO_TYPE2];T II (G7e)
[TORPEDO_TYPE3];T III (G7e)
[TORPEDO_TYPE4];T III FaT II (G7e)
[TORPEDO_TYPE5];T IV (G7es) - Falke
[TORPEDO_TYPE6];T V (G7es) – Zaunkönig I
[TORPEDO_TYPE7];T I LuT I (G7a)
[TORPEDO_TYPE8];T III LuT II (G7e)
[TORPEDO_TYPE9];T XI (G7es) – Zaunkönig II
[TORPEDO_TYPE10]; T VII - Steinbarsch Walter (G7ut)

So... If you want a Type XXI in 1939 with a mixture of Type III and Type XI then change your basic.cfg so it looks like the one above.

If you want to customise my and evan82's XXI 1939 mod further and need some more help just ask - I'm always happy to help out.
