You need to make changes in two places:
Data/Submarine/NSS_U/NSS_.sim
Data/Submarine/NSS_U/NSS_U.upc
1. Open the NSS_U.sim with Silent 3ditor (S3D).
2. Open the wpn_SubTorpedoSys
3. On the right side, find 'Rooms' open it.
4. Find 'Fore' and open it.
5. You should have Storage[4]
6. Right click on Storage and select "Add Array Item"
7. Do this until it says Storage[12], you will have items [0] to [11]
8. Save.
1. Open the NSS_U.upc with notepad.
2. Find the section:
[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 4.Bunker 1] ; Forward Torpedo Room
ID=BowTorpedoRoom
Capacity=8
IDLinkAmmunitionIntervalDefault1= NULL, NULL, MkVIIITorpedo, 4
Change
Capacity=12
Change
IDLinkAmmunitionIntervalDefault1= NULL, NULL, MkVIIITorpedo, 12
3. Save.
OK, now that I have shown how it should be done. One question, did you take this sub from another MOD? As written, adding the extra storage does not work.
1. The torpedo tube type used on the sub does not exist in the stock files and is not in the mod.
2. The torpedoes used do not exist in the stock game and are not included in the MOD.
3. When you open the wpn_SubTorpedoSys is shows 4 storage for the "Rooms/Aft", there is NO aft torpedo room so this should not be there.
4. When you go to the equipment screen in game, you will notice in the Forward Torpedo room (the one on the right) there are no torpedo tubes listed, they do not exist. I do not mean the torpedo room screen where you see four torpedoes, I mean the equipment screen with the equipment used in each compartment.
5. Because of the above mistakes, the storage will not show since you are filling it with torpedoes that do not exist in the MOD.
So basically the sub needs a complete overhaul and either add the necessary equipment or use equipment that is in the game.
I did get the storage to work and the tubes to show by changing the tubes to "TorpedoTube21inUS" on the tubes AND in the bunker, and changing the torpedoes to "Mk14Torpedo"
So if this sub is taken from another MOD there are necessary files missing to make it work.
The explanation above is how to add more torpedoes to storage but it will not work unless the necessary tubes and torpedoes are available to use. For this sub to work properly you need the necessary files from the MOD it was from, or convert it all to equipment that is available to you in the stock game. The torpedoes may not be the only problem, the sub may use other equipment such as radars that are not stock, so I do not know how much of the sub actually works.
