Number of visible torpedo tubes

Subsim modder 32 · 12-13-09, 10:49 AM

For the mod of my german Type 205 sub I need eigth bow torpedo tubes. I have added them to my .dat and .upcge files and I can see all eight tubes at the torpedo station.
Is it possible, to make all eight torpedo tobes visible the at the periscope TDC?

Yes, but one problem is there are no VII and VIII lights, so temporarily I reused the I and II lights for now until I get a chance to make a new .dds/.tga file. The second problem is the Attack Screen, there is not enough room for the extra lights so things will have to be moved and again new lights made.
The lights on the Periscope panel come from the Menu1024_768.ini section [G26 I27] and down from there. You need to create four more sections for the other two lights. As I said because of lack of time and for testing I only copied the lights I and II and placed them where the lights VII and VIII would go.

The G28 section would be for the UZO and the G2B for the Observaton scope and G3B for the TDC.

This will get you started:

hi peabody,

I have created two new lights in the file ...\Data\Menu\Gui\Periscope.dds. They do not look exactly identical to the others, because there was no place for the last letters. For a perfect result, the other lights has also to be changed.

Thank you for the code.

I'm almost finished. I have changed the TDC, so that all 8 torpedo lights are now visible in the right upper corner. I have also added two rows to the torpedo list on the left side, but the game won't update the lines with the loaded torpedo types. Any idea, where to change this?

This code shows the lines I have added to the menu_1024_768.ini file to get two more text lines on the left side.

Code:
