Two files;

UpgradePacks.upc
UnitParts4SClass.upc

Both are text files, can be edited with notepad.

What I would suggest is change the first part of the S class file;

ID= SClassConning1
Type= SConningTower1

Change that to;

ID= SClassConning3
Type= SConningTower3

So you have the late war tower at the beginning.

I haven't tinkered with this yet, but the upgrade pack slot in mine shows NULL NULL NULL indicating the 50 cal and 20mm are available any date.

I'll be back.

Just a quick question and something I've found....

Jlacy94, Did you edit the files and check your work in your current career?

If so you will need to edit some additional files, in C:\My Documents\sh4.

Every time I make a tweak to any of the subs files, I either have to start a new career, OR edit the same files in the following directories:
Under ..\My Documents\SH4:

UPCInitial
UserPlayerContext
(if playing Uboat addon)
UserPlayerContextGE

And finally, check:

SaveGames\ < Specific Save Folder > <-- these are listed as a Hexadecimal number.


If you are waiting until you get it "right" before you start a career, then make changes to the files Sniper297 mentioned, and then start a new career to check.

As far as Sniper297's missing tower... I think the drydock workers misunderstood your directions.
You should make sure they are sober BEFORE you let them work on your boat.
