Realise I have made a good little introduction and explained what I want from the mod, but I have not really asked any questions. How else am I going to get any answers?

1. How do I alter the weapons on the ship to make it so all guns have to be manned by crew members, and not generic AI's?

2. How do I change the name of the crew specialities? (No need for torpedo spacialists on board a battle ship.)

3. I know how to change the name on the pre-ezisting compartments, But how do you create new compartments from scratch? Designate their type, crew compliment and damage modles? (Some of this I think I can manage already but advice never hurts)

4. If I am able to create a dedicated ships magazine how do I create a transfer of munitions from the compartment inside ship to the guns topside?

5. Can I make a .cam file for each turret and gun onboard the ship so that each weapon is user contorllable? (This might be a tough one).

6. How to make the froe/aft compartments become the gun crew stations?

7. Make each turret, subject to the combined skill of those crew manning it.

8. Possibility to remove the torpedo tubes, TDC and Periscopes from the ships model, to make it less like a sub and more like a ship? (Maybe leave the TDC onborad the bridge, but alter its function to serve as a range finder for the guns?)

If you have any answers to these questions above I would like to hear from you. Or if you can recomend who may be able to provide some answers to these?

I have looked through a lot of forum threads in hope of finding these answers myself, however the few active threads I have found relating to these topics are somewhat vauge in their descriptions. Only a few threads have promised to provide a full noob guide to modding, however these all seem to be deleted or are hosted off this main forum and all the links seem to have expired. Not supprising with a game this old.

As I said above, All this work is going to be done for the most part by myself where possible, I am not trying to get you to do the work for me, simply point me in the right direction.

Thank you for your help.
