[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 5.Bunker 1] ; Forward Torpedo Room
ID=BowTorpedoRoom
Capacity=12-----was 10+2
IDLinkAmmunitionIntervalDefault1= NULL, 1941-11-01, Mk14Torpedo, 12----was 10 +2
IDLinkAmmunitionIntervalDefault2= 1941-11-01, 1944-06-31, Mk14Torpedo, 4, Mk18Torpedo, 4, Mk23Torpedo, 5----was 3 +2
IDLinkAmmunitionIntervalDefault3= 1941-11-01, 1944-12-31, Mk14Torpedo, 6, Mk18Torpedo, 4, Mk23Torpedo, 3----was 1 +2
IDLinkAmmunitionIntervalDefault4= 1941-11-01, NULL, Mk14Torpedo, 5, Mk18Torpedo, 8----was 6 +2

So it looks to me like "10" torps were added to the BOW bunker and "10" torps added to the Stern bunker...Ok so I went to the Gato SIM file in the Slient Editor and added "10" TORPS to the Bow bunker and "10" to the Stern...Its dosent work,still crashes.... What the BLEEP am I doing wrong?????

Clay, three head beats, you must be upset.
You didn't add 10 torpedos, you added 2 and 2.
Capacity=12-----was 10+2 You added 2 torpedos here ,forward bunker.
Capacity=6 -----was 4+2 You added 2 here, aft bunker.

The other numbers are what what topedos are available at different times during the war. Notice the different dates in the line and the different torpedos available at those dates.. So you don't add them up to get how many you added, just use how much you changed the 'Total' or "Capacity". If your frig 'Capacity' will only hold a six pack today and a six pack tomorrow and a six pack the next day. It still only holds 6 at one time.

So, you can go through 2000 torpedos during the war but the 'capacity' tells you how many you can hold at one time and that is the number you need to have in the sim file.

So, if your capacity changed by 2 you only need to add two to the .sim file. And one note: notice in the "Storage" part of the sim it will say for example:
Storage[12]
but below will be numbered 0 through 11. So make sure you stop at 11 because the numbering doesn't start with 1, it starts with 0.
And for the aft:
Storage[6]
will be numbered 0 through 5.
