[TEC] Having issues with a "Sen toku" (I-400) mod I am trying to make.

Here are the files on my dropbox, for now I am just trying to get it to work ingame, not make it playable.

For sake of gameplay, I have replaced its AA guns and deck gun with US versions in the eqp file.

Can you guys identify where I have gone wrong? I have made changes here and there, and ensured the ID's are new and linked right (I think DX).

It does not cause the game to crash, but upon loading a mission with it in, the unit does not appear, not on sensors, or visually.

Without look into the files, are you making that a "US" boat, or a "Japanese" boat? Do you have a matching CFG file in the Roster / xCountry / Submarine folder?

Oh good point, I did not upload the roster cfg file...

BUT! I do have one, I have one already made in the American area for submarines.

I hate to be a bother with bumping and such, but I'd really like some help with this.

I haven't really modded much in this game to start, mostly editing the Surcouf mod and such, and would love some help.

There aren't too many "submarine" modders, so it takes a bit of time for someone to see your posts. I do mostly "text" kind of stuff, and try to stay away from ships and planes and submarines for now, since I am really good at making the game CTD, sometimes even taking the computer down...

In the meantime, there is already a Sen Toku in the game, an AI Japanese submarine. If you're trying to copy that, you might well have a "conflict" between the two boats, to the point that the game doesn't know which boat you are referring to. Also, more importantly, what are your dates set to in the configuration of your version, and what date(s) are you trying to use it? If you load the Mission Editor, do you get an error message as it loads about the Sen Toku not being found in the library?... and if you don't, can you add the submarine to a mission file there?

I randomised the ID's to 'clone' the AI submarine, made a few changes to its equipment, set it to US on the roster, and there are no errors with the dates.
