I know there has been discussion about this topic before. I am inquiring from anyone with experience and proven methods of adding, moving, or replacing deck and flak guns on uboats for silent hunter 3. Reading through different threads and posts from ETR3(SS)'s tutorial on how to add gun mounts on silent hunter 4, Von Keldunk's work on the 37mm Flak on the type IID, and various posts by Privateer and KLCarroll, I have been piecing together a way to accomplish this. I have used S3D and notepad to modify a uboat's .dat, .sim, .zon, .dsd, and .cam files, and been making corresponding changes to the uboat's .eqp file and basic.cfg but can't seem to get things to work. I've played around with a few things but keep getting a CTD when starting a mission. So I don't know what to do. ETR3(SS)'s tutorial is focused on SH4 which doesn't use basic.cfg to modify subs. My project is to change the Type IID's forward 20mm gun mount to a 37mm gun mount (A0 to S0) and have the game function seemlessly with the changes. I know it's already been done by Von Keldunk, but I'd like to know how he did it as that would shed light on other SH3 gun modding projects. So if anyone has had success on this matter for SH3 and can post an example of a step-by-step how-to tutorial I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your consideration. R/S, Sgt Lynch.
