Default What Files Control The Crew Management Screen Background and Damage Display?

I want to know how change the images of the crew management screen as well as what controls the damage models (the colours and the compartment damage in the management screen) to do something cool like this

If thats for the pictures then what controls this:
This is from Warship Mod 2.0 and it shows everything as destroyed and the flooding and damage colour features on the ship don't appear


Then theres these that appear when you load up one of the Schnellboots from S-Boot mod into a normal installation. It shows the electric engines compartment which is hidden in S-Boot. Whenever i move a ship between different supermods of Silent Hunter it always has the same properties so I don't know if its located in the .zon file in the submarine folder or the basic.cfg or something else that shows and hides the flooding/colour and compartments

These files are also important :
- data/Submarine/whatever_playable_unit.zon
- data/Zones.cfg
- data/Cfg/Basic.cfg

There isn't much more I can do for you. You have to study and understand how all this is working...

Is there anyone that knows what any thing in .zon means or posts because I can't find anything

"The Zones.cfg file contains all the zone types with their parameters", so it includes the submarines' zones. To visualize the damage boxes of any unit, open both the unit.dat and unit.zon with S3D, display the 3D representation and click on the small icon which will show you the boxes and collision spheres.
