SH4-4Deck guns on Balao or Gato class
 

-Warning...That's an unreal-mod!/backup your files/I'M not guilty If there are problems

U want to have 4 Deck Guns on your Balao class?
OK!
A)Open The file Unitparts3Balao.upc in Data\UPCData\UPCUnitsData
with you Editor or Wordpad.
B)Scroll to the almost last point named [UnitPart 2.UpgradePackSlot 1]
C) Write after: ''AcceptedTypes=USLightAA, USHeavyAA'' a comma and then: ''USDeckGun''
now it must look like this:

[UnitPart 2.UpgradePackSlot 1]
ID= UpgAAGun
NameDisplayable= Aft Anti-Aircraft Gun
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes=USLightAA, USHeavyAA,USDeckGun
UserCustomizable=Yes
IDLinkUpgradePackSlots= CTBackAA
IDLinkUpgradePackSlotsIntervalDefault1= NULL, NULL, Upack40mmSingle

D) Now you add the same thing at [UnitPart 2.UpgradePackSlot 2]
under this point!
it should look like this:

[UnitPart 2.UpgradePackSlot 2]
ID= UpgBowAAGun
NameDisplayable= Fore Anti-Aircraft Gun
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes=USLightAA, USHeavyAA,USDeckGun
UserCustomizable=Yes
IDLinkUpgradePackSlots= CTForeAA
IDLinkUpgradePackSlotsIntervalDefault1= NULL, NULL, Upack20mmTwin

E) Save everything;)
F)Open Upgradepacks.upc in Data\UPCData\UPCUnitsData
G)Seek for:
[UpgradePack 25]
ID= Upack5in25calDGDouble
H) Now U delete the Dates after ''UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1''
I)Write in place of the dates NULL
it should look like this
[UpgradePack 25]
ID= Upack5in25calDGDouble
NameDisplayable= 5" 25 cal Deck Guns (Bow and Stern)
FunctionalType= UpFTypeWeaponCannon
UpgradePackSlotType= USDeckGunAdv
Type=NULL
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptionCurrent= NULL, NULL, 0
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1= NULL, NULL,2000
IDLinkUpgradePackElements= 5in25calUS, 5in25calUS
J)Save it and start the game!
K)Start a new carrer and choose: 1944 and the Balao class and 5000Prestige
l)Now look if you can put the any DeckGun on the flak slots
M)Put the double Deck Gun on the Deck Gun slot and start any mission


Usually all 4 Deck Guns shoot on ships now!
If you mod the shell speed and other things you can shoot some battleships if you find one
You can make the same thing with the Gato class!

BUT: DON'T PLAY CAREER-MODE WITH THIS 4 DECK GUNS!!!!
-It won't be fun a long time!

Early Hy-brid
 

Can you tell me how to put a late war conning tower on an early (1941) boat to start a new career ? the early cons only had a single aft AA position. I would like to start a new game (career , 1941) with a selectable class with 1x20mmtwin, 1x40mmsingle, 1x5in25 @ for & aft (2 total). Would also like to import the homming torpedoes from SHIII mod. HELP ??

What boat SD it makes a bit of a difference though not much.
Gar ? Gato ?

here it is for gato as an example go to
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\UPCData\UPCUnitsData

Make a back up copy of the file somewhere if your going to
alter it.

open the file called

UnitParts1Gato

here you will see a long text file at the top you will see
this

[UnitPart 1]
ID= GatoConningEarlyWar
Type= GatoConningTower ;Can only placed on unit parts slot of this type
NameDisplayable= Start of war Conning Tower
UnitPartInterval=NULL, 1942-12-01
ExternalLinkName3D= data/objects/Conning_Gato_01
HullTextureNameOverride=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_T01.tga
HullLightmapTextureNameOverride=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_O01.tga
HullNormalmapTextureNameOverride= NULL
MenuSilhouetteTextureNameOverride= Gato_Class_01.tga

this is the first conning tower the sub uses in the war
and it is available from the begining up to dec 1 1942
UnitPartInterval=NULL, 1942-12-01

change the available to date to 1941
like this
NULL, 1941-12-01

next further down the page locate.


[UnitPart 2]
ID= GatoConningMedWar
Type= GatoConningTower ;Can only placed on unit parts slot of this type
NameDisplayable= The aft bridge deck fairwater was removed to reduce silhouette
UnitPartInterval=1942-06-01, 1944-12-01
ExternalLinkName3D= data/objects/Conning_Gato_02
HullTextureNameOverride=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_T01.tga
HullLightmapTextureNameOverride=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_O01.tga
HullNormalmapTextureNameOverride= NULL
MenuSilhouetteTextureNameOverride= Gato_Class_02.tga


Repeat the procedure change date on the second conning
tower to this
NULL, 1941-12-01


Further down the page still locate the third conning tower
[UnitPart 3]
ID= GatoConningLateWar
Type= GatoConningTower ;Can only placed on unit parts slot of this type
NameDisplayable= The bridge fairwater was completely cut down to reduce surfaced silhouette
UnitPartInterval=1942-12-01, NULL
ExternalLinkName3D= data/objects/Conning_Gato_03
HullTextureNameOverride=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_T02.tga
HullLightmapTextureNameOverride=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_O01.tga
HullNormalmapTextureNameOverride= NULL
MenuSilhouetteTextureNameOverride= Gato_Class_03.tga


here change the date to
NULL, NULL and the tower will
be the only one available during the war.
your going to have to wait a day on the
tutorial for the guns though.

MR Martin sir will this work on the Tambor class?

it should yes exactly the same way
tambor has three but some early boats may only
have two conning towers and to make a conning
tower work that doesnt now is a different trick.

M

i wanted to put the Viic conning on the gato, balao or tambor class...however

myself bring stuff into it from outside yet.

Sorry Dude.
