Need help adding boat to campaign.
Hi all, I love the L55 from Battle for the Baltic/ Soviet Waterways mod. So much so that I've been trying to add it to RSRDC.
Using the Narwal mod as a template, I've tried adding L55. I think I have all the components, I can choose the campaign start date, choose the boat, watch the campaign intro, but then the game crashes. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any clues what it may be? If any of you have the time and knowledge would you mind advising me, or taking a look through my files for anything suspect? https://megaupload.nz/lde3Haleb7/L55_7z Thanks! |

As soon as I press the download the link goes viral attacking my pc so I won't be downloading it.
Make sure that in the UPCData folder you have a UPCCampaignData folder. In the UPCCampaignData folder you should have a CareerStart.upc and Flotillas.upc files in it. Make sure your ship ID in flotillas(for example L55) is the same as it is in CareerStart. I run all my playable surface ships in TMO/RSRD.

Thanks,
I've tried uploading it to a different host: https://ufile.io/b5yv0 I have all of the UPCData files and the boat is referenced identically in Flotillas and Career. |

Just noticed a typo in Flotilla UPC file. Let's try now...
Okay, having also corrected 'SubmarineClasses' file in Data/Menu, now I can get into ready room but I can't assign crew to my Engine Room or Crew Quarters. Those appear on the crew config menu but can't be filled. I can start the game and the sub renders fine, but there are no deck guns and they cannot be manned. Any ideas?

Might have something to do with the UnitParts10L55.upc file. What is it meant to be?
Also check the NSS_L55.upc file in the /submarine/ NSS_L55 folder to make sure your crew is assigned to their stations. Do a search for IDLinkCrewMember= NULL and change it to a crew description eg. NR

Found some 'NULL' entries in Crew Quarters, I made them NR but still can't fill the positions in the crew management screen.
I did not see anything obviously wrong when comparing the UnitParts10L55.upc, NSS_L55.upc with the files from other subs... |

Hmm, not sure then. Hopefully one of the expert modders can assist.
Best of luck.

I'll look into this but initially I can say this: Move your SH4 install OUT of Program Files (x86), since it looks like you're on Win 10 (or 8) installing under C:\Games\Ubisoft will help eliminate any problems from the UAC interfering in modding the game. I'm downloading now but am surprised at the size of the file! I'm guessing there's a lot of stuff that can be cut out that you don't need.

Problem list:
1. Change Submarine Classes folder to SubmarineClasses 2. The Compartment numbers aren't matching up with the crew slots for the Compartment, e.g. the Engine Room is [UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 1] but the crew for the Engine room is listed as [[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 2.CrewMemberSlot 1] Note the extra starting bracket as well and remove that. 3. Also in the L55.upc, find all entries for CrewMemberSlot_Radio and change to CrewMemberSlot_Attack 4. Rename UnitParts10L55.upc to UnitParts8L55.upc 5. You won't have any Deck Guns until you include the UpgradePacks.upc from the original mod. And that's as far as I can go without that last file.
