Yes, the mysterious UPCLocalization.tsr can be opened with a plain text editor like Notepad, NOT Word, and you can scroll through it. The information in it is called by other files to display in-game in many different places.

When you open it you can see the various entries and their locations. Rather than Notepad I use a program called NoteTab Pro. The NoteTab Light version is still free. http://www.notetab.com/
Some people prefer other programs for text & html editing.

Scrolling through it, when you get to the Ammunition section in Stock for example, you can see that it is pretty blah without useful descriptions. I like to think in Imperial measurements like feet & yards, US WWII Skippers used it.

Here is the entire Ammunition section in UPCLocalization.tsr from the Guerrilla Submarines Spyron Mod:

In-game you will recognize the ammunition info from the Tab when you are outfitting your boat to go out on patrol and other places.

I hope this helps a little.

Happy Hunting!
