Changing subs name
 

Hi,
I was wondering how i could change my subs name in silent hunter IV.

Thanks!:arrgh!:

You're risking bad luck!

i really don't like the tarpon as my subs name, bad luck or no

Go to your save game file in my documents and open "ActivePlayerUnits.upc"

the very Top will look like this

[UserPlayerUnit 1]
ID=Gato
NameDisplayable=Gato Class Submarine
UnitName=USS Gato (SS-212) <--- Edit here
UpgradeClass=2
Type=Gato
UnitInterval=1941-12-31 00:00:00, 1967-06-01 00:00:00
ExternalClassName=SSGato

NormalmapTextureName=NULL
MenuSilhouetteTextureName=Gato_Class_01.tga
MaxOfficers=14

StartUserPlayerUnitMissionDateTime=1941-12-06 10:00:00
CurrentUserPlayerUnitMissionDateTime=1941-12-06 10:00:00

You also need to change the entry in the CareerTrack.upc file here-->>

[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusSave 60]
ID=ID
Reason=CSS_OfferNewCommand
NameDisplayable=
CurrentDate=1943-06-11 13:59:16
OfferedUserPlayerUnitIDLink=Gato

[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusSave 61]
ID=ID
Reason=CSS_NewCommand
NameDisplayable=USS Bowfin (SS-287)
CurrentDate=1943-06-11 13:59:16
UserPlayerInstanceDisplayableName=USS Bowfin (SS-287)
UserPlayerUnitIDLink=Balao

You find this entry at the end of the file itself; be sure to save right after you are assigned a new sub. If you remember to alter this line, all your subsequent medal citations will read your new sub's name.:D
