need some help on basic.cfg file

[makman94]

hello guys,

i need some info about the 'numbers' in basic.cfg file and what exactly each number is representing.

we read ,for example, somewhere in basic.cfg file this (is the starting armament-equips of IXD2 at year 1945) :

Year3=1945
ForeTube30=3 ;T1
ForeTube31=3
ForeTube32=4
ForeTube33=4
ForeResIntern30=3
ForeResIntern31=3
ForeResIntern32=4
ForeResIntern33=4
ForeResExtern30=0
ForeResExtern31=0
ForeResExtern32=3
ForeResExtern33=3
ForeResExtern34=3
ForeResExtern35=3
ForeResExtern36=4
ForeResExtern37=4
ForeResExtra30=3
ForeResExtra31=3
AftTubes30=6
AftTubes31=3
AftResIntern30=3
AftResIntern31=3
AftResExtern30=3
AftResExtern31=3
AftResExtern32=3
AftResExtern33=3
Z01_30=11 ; IX/3
M01_30=-1
A01_30=10
A02_30=10
S01_30=5
SuperCharger_30=-1
Snorkel_30=1262
Batteries_30=1268
AftBatteries_30=1268
Hydrophone_30=1270
Sonar_30=1274
Radar_30=1275
RadarWarningReceiver_30=1282
Decoy_Launcher_30=1284
SonarCoatings_30=-1
RadarCoatings_30=-1

i know what torpedo each number is representing at green
-------------------------------------------------------------
at blue are correct the followings?
Z01 is marking the conning tower type
M01 is marking the deck gun (i guess that -1 here means ''no gun'')
A01-A02 are marking the AA guns
S01 is something about AA guns again (?) [ 20mm Vierling is a AA gun ?]

Does anyone have a list of what these 11 (at Z01), 10 (at A01 and A02) and 5 (at S01) are specifying ?
--------------------------------------------------------------
at brown I need exactly the same : a list of what these 1262,1268,1268,1270,1274,1275,1282,1284 are specifying.

also , i have one more question for moders : at .sns file of ixd2 appears that its radar is 'NULL' till the end of war but on the other hand we see at basic.cfg that it is equiped with a radar at 1945 (and earlier.../43 and /44).
in game the sub has indeed a radar so the question is which file is altering the final sensors of players boat ?

thank you in advance for any help - info on the theme

The designations you've specified above (Z01, M01 etc.) are correct. As for the individual Idx identifiers, they're also listed in the basic.cfg file. For example, Z01_30=11 identifies the turm type as a Turm9c_3_hd.

*******

To discover this, scroll down to the [Z01] section and read the Idx number:

[Z01]
DaysSpent=21
NbGuns=13
Idx0=0
Dummy0=data/objects/Turm2a_1_hd
Idx1=1
Dummy1=data/objects/Turm2d_1_hd
Idx2=2
Dummy2=data/objects/Turm2d_2_hd
Idx3=3
Dummy3=data/objects/Turm7b_1_hd
Idx4=4
Dummy4=data/objects/Turm7b_2_hd
Idx5=5
Dummy5=data/objects/Turm7c_1_hd
Idx6=6
Dummy6=data/objects/Turm7c_2_hd
Idx7=7
Dummy7=data/objects/Turm7c_3_hd
Idx8=8
Dummy8=data/objects/Turm7c_4_hd
Idx9=9
Dummy9=data/objects/Turm9c_1_hd
Idx10=10
Dummy10=data/objects/Turm9c_2_hd
Idx11=11
Dummy11=data/objects/Turm9c_3_hd
Idx12=12
Dummy12=NULL; data/objects/Turm21_hd

*******

The same holds true for each of the other categories as well. For example, 10 at A01 and A02 indicates a '20mmShield_Twin_UFlak_High.' Once again you can find this listed in the [A01] and [A02] sections of the file. Last but not least, 5 at S01 identifies '20mmVierling_High.'

Hope this helps and good luck!

Usually a none at station is marked "-100"
as you say in blue is Z01_30=11 ; "whatever" So this is tower-year-type.
M01_30=-100 so this is no deck gun at station (0= large gun. 1=small)
A01,2 small aa guns S01 large aa gun mount

in orange ...

SuperCharger_30=-1 (supercharger-year=-1 none at station)

Ok as an example .... Decoy_Launcher_30=1284 ( the number at the end relates to the type of item used in this case Bold type 1 where as 1288 is Bold type 5

All items are listed at the end of the basic file and contain the end numbers within the items list I.E .....

hope this helps you out

@Fish In The Water : sure that helped me a lot !! in fact you gave 'light' to the whole theme !
thank you very much for your help

@Seawolf : you mean -1 right ? (i don't see anywhere -100)
also, i didn't understand what you mean by that ''0= large gun. 1=small''.can you explain it a little further ?
about your rest info (about the ammo 'numbers') ...sure helped me a lot !
thank you very much too for your help


still stands the last question : at .sns file of ixd2 appears that its radar is 'NULL' till the end of war but on the other hand we see at basic.cfg that it is equiped with a radar at 1945 (and earlier.../43 and /44).
in game the sub has indeed a radar so the question is which file is altering the final sensors of players boat ?

anyone knows something about it ???

You're very welcome, glad I could help...

Not sure about the .sns, but hopefully someone will be along with an answer shortly.

@Seawolf : you mean -1 right ? (I don't see anywhere -100)

Yes so I noticed you must be using a basic file that is different to mine or
has been changed

also, I didn't understand what you mean by that ''0= large gun. 1=small''.can you explain it a little further ?


Sure take a look below

[AMMO_TYPE0];10.5cm SK C/32
Idx=0 {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Large deck gun
Year=1939
Month=1
SS=100
AP=100

Renown=0

[AMMO_TYPE1];8.8cm SK C/35
Idx=1 {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Small deck gun
Year=1939
Month=1
SS=100
AP=100
HE=1500
Renown=0

about your rest info (about the ammo 'numbers') ...sure helped me a lot !
thank you very much too for your help

COOL

In my game EMEA edition, the -100 is used exclusively for the type XXI, taken from careers.cfg :

SubType=3
SubVersion=0
Z01=15 M01=-100
A01=9
A02=9
S01=-100
S02=-100
S03=-100

from careers_0.cfg :

SubType=-1
SubVersion=-1
Z01=15
M01=-100
A01=9
A02=9
S01=-100
S02=-100
S03=-100

hope this help
