To make this a mod, you would need to place a wildcard entry for this number into the [G25] section of the menu_1024_768.ini so that it would appear in the recognition manual in a certain spot on each page for each boat. Then you would need to go to data/sea/data/.... open each boat folder and place that spefic boats "magic" number into each folder for each boat in the directory.

Here is my guess of what would go into the menu_1024_768.ini if we called the number "magic" but I am pretty much just winging this so verify these entries....

[G25 I53]
Name=Magic val
Type=1029;Static text
ItemID=0x25070009
ParentID=0x25070000
Pos= (I think this is a SH3 relic and not used in SHIV so you can probably leave blank for just fill in with junk coordinates x, x, x, x)
Zone= (experiment with the variable vectors to determine proper location of entry on boat page of recognition manual)
Color=0xFE
Font=19
Text=955
TextFlags=0x4

[G25 I54]
Name=Magic
Type=1029;Static text
ItemID=0x25070010
ParentID=0x25070000
Pos=(not used in SHIV)
Zone= (experiment with vectors here for entry placement on boat recognition page in manual)
Color=0xFE
Font=19
Text=(not sure what goes here)
TextFlags=0x6

If I knew how to edit the menu_1024_768.ini, I would be happy to do it but I fear I don't know much more about it than what I have put in this post. If I find out more, I will certainly pass it your way. Should be a fairly easy mod to an experienced user.

I just bought this game 2 days ago so I'm still a noob.

There is a tutorial on editing the menu_1024_768.ini but I don't have the time to read it yet. here is the link...http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=111832

good luck.
