I see where the tooltip your trying to use makes several unwanted entries. Yep, not good.
I can also see by the image of the sub you're using at the top of the Crew Management screen, that it isn't stock. I'm assuming you created it. Have you thought of creating the image with the text (as you list it) both together in a .dds image? This way the game only needs to find the specific image of the sub that's being used, with the subs characteristics listed along with the image. It may not be as sophisticated as having the tooltip appear and disappear when you mouse over the image but it would still give you the information your looking for along with the subs image.
On another note, I created a tooltip for the deck gun station (really its below the ammunition along the right hand side of the screen) for the Optical Targeting Correction mod. I don't have time to go over how I added the tooltip tonight but let me work on it tomorrow. I can show you what entries I made/changed in the menu_1024_768.ini file that makes it work. I'm still thinking there is a way of either changing the tooltip reference for the Crew Management screen in both the menu_1024 file and the menu.txt file, or at least create a new tooltip giving the information you want. The only problem I can see with creating a different/new tooltip is how would the game choose the correct information to be displayed with the different subs that could be used in the game. If you know how this works (in the menu.txt file?) then we may have something.
