Yes, I did it: I loaded the NSS_Uboat7a GR2 file, merged the respective zon file and opened the damage editor. I just can't see the pump box among other boxes. It should be located somewhere near the keel, ins't it?

Separate, but probably only for cosmetic purposes...

Okay, it makes sense. I hope that at least periscope heads, having an external 3d link and a damage box, are showing correct damages...

As for periscope bodies, keep calm and try doing this when you get time:

- create two new empty zon files, one for each Room_?? - Periscop + Anim.GR2 file, and add a SH3ZonesCtrl controller to each, each with a damage box pointing to the periscope model of its respective GR2 file.

- make each box either destructible or not destuctible (we will see which setting works better)

- open Equipment upc and change this:

If nothing happens, try changing periscope bodies file names removing spaces (e.g: Room_CR-Periscop+Anim instead of Room_CR - Periscop + Anim .GR2, .sim and .zon) and update external 3d links in equipment.upc accordingly.

What should happen? one (or both) of these:

- immediate CTD as soon a periscope body gets damaged/destroyed
- periscope bodies not responding to human interaction when damaged, and showing correct damage level in damage management interface. Fingers crossed
