Tube Selection

Nedlam · 08-17-12, 05:34 PM

Somewhere along the way I 'broke' the dial for my salvo selection dial, it's blank. I found the proper graphic file for it which I forgot to install up until now (in this case for a Type IXC) and now I have the markers indicating what tubes I'm selecting but they don't match the tubes that are actually selected?!?

I'm running the latest version of NYGM (3.6A I think) with AMC v1.1 gui. There's got to be a way to switch around the tubes because somewhere along the way I did it accidently.

Anyone know what the file is? I can't seem to find it. If it's hard coded then I can't begin to fathom what the heck I did to break it!

Hello Nedlam,

what do you want to do?
- change the filename for your salvotga in menu.ini?
- change the salvos?

Thanks for the response.

The simple thing to do would to just change the salvotga and adjust the graphics to fit what the switch selects. Unfortunately, I've tried in the past to do slight changes in tga files and I think my software is sadly lacking or more likely, my abilities!

I'm looking for a way to change it so, for instance at 11 o'clock it chooses tubes I,III instead of I,IV.

Hello Nedlam,

well in this case I think it should be much easier to change the salvos in the .CFG in the submarines-folder. They are editable with notepad or something else.

Ahhh! That's where they are!! (placing dunce cap on head) That may be the only place I didn't look?!?!

Thanks! l'll check it out when I get home.

Edit: Worked like a charm! Thanks!
