[REL] Tench Class and 1945 Start Mod

sb1171 · 03-30-07, 04:50 PM

This is my first go at modding!

Added the Tench Class. Uses the model, skin and capabilities of the Balao. (Same way that the stock Gar Class is related to the Tambor).

The following boats are included: Tench, Thornback, Tigrone, Tirante, Trutta, Toro, Torsk, Quillback, Argonaut, Runner, Conger, Cutlass, Diablo, Medregal, Requin, Irex, Sea Leopard and Odax. I think this accounts for all the Tenches commissioned before the war ended.

Also added the ability to start a career in 1945 (so you can start one with the Tench). I think I have got the upgrade class right so it should be offered as an upgrade in other campaigns when it is historically available (not tested yet).

Tench is available in quick missions but I have not modded any of the single patrols to include it.

Mod works with JSGME. (31/3/07 - may be an issue with vista. see readme file included. If you installed this mod and did not see 1945 campaign start available this will fix it)

Seems to work all OK, but use at your own risk!

screenes?

I made the claim that this works with JSGME. This may not be the case on vista with UAC running. It may be necessary to install the following three files manually if you run vista:

Data\UPCData\UPCCampaignData\CareerStart.upc
Data\UPCData\UPCCampaignData\Flotillas.upc
Data\Roster\Names.cfg

This is because these overwrite current files and UAC will prompt for the overwrite for these files. (Back up first!)

The rest of the files in the mod are new files so should install with JSGME no problem.

Some screens here:

They dont appear very clearly on filefront, right click and "save as" if you want to read the text in the screen shots!

In game the Tench class is identical graphically to the Balao.

Is the torpedo loadout the same? The Trench carried 4 more fish.

I did not know this. Have you got a source for this. All references I have found state 24 fish (same as balao).

At present torp loadout is the same. Not sure how easy it is to increase it, but if you are correct, I will see if I can change the load out.
