Hi!
So.. first... before you beginn with modding my created sub pens some notes:
1. before you make any changes to a mod with the intention to release, ask the author!
2. your attempt adding the number of the boxes seems coprehensible but the effort to achieve this is not worth the work.
otherwise I had done it myself as I did also know about the numbering!
Some notes on your attempt:
As you know the 2 sub pen boxes are made of 2 almost identical buildings.
The 2 sub pen boxes are used to create all other whole sub pens that are in the game in different harbours.
So.. to get what you want would be to clone every sub pen box for example 6 times and add it to the habour kit.
Now you have 12 sub pen boxes which you could use for building whole sub pens.
But now comes the difficult part. Every harbour is made from a certain .dat file which is in "data/terrain/locations" every harbour has
another count of sub pen boxes and you cant not match teh sub pens to each other with S3D in 3D view like you see all other 3D objects.
You have to make new coordinates for every new sub pen box with getting into the game and positioning the new buildings.
And this takes hours just for one harbour
Also..
With my created sub pens the harbour_kit.dat file already reached over 100Mb and the problems with the "4GB" patch (infact a 2GB memory problem) occured.
I really donīt wanna know which size the file would be with 12 sub pens
Hope you have some view now how not worthy this work would be in my point of view.
greetings
