How to mod ZON files?

[trebby]

I am having a great time setting up SH5 again after a long absence.

Now I would like to modify the max diving depth of the various subs, based on reports in Clay Blairs 2 volumes on the Uboat war. (several instances boats survived because of DC or control failure, depths of 280meters.)

In SH3 you could use a little program by Timetraveller to alter this to a certain depth range with an random 5-10 pct difference to your input, so you newer knew exactly what it was. Loved it.

I tried to be smart, transplanted the SH5 ZON files to SH3, started the application, changed max depth, and copied it back again to SH5...

No avail, I obviously missed something.

Is there any not-overly-complicated-way to mess around with the ZON files?

Is the RSD mod involved, thereby complicating things?

Ah well, who doenst like it deep eh?


Cheers, Trebb.


NB. Presently using the ZON files of Vecko´s Steel Wolfes Megamod.

NB S3D and Goblin editor? Sounds gibberish...
