Is this hard coded?

I play TMO where you can choose when to add the MS32 paint scheme, however in 1944 the stock files upgrade the boats with the MS32 scheme and when it does this it drops my SJ radar more than halfway down it's mast (even below the flag). This causes me to expose an additional 5 feet of my tower to be at radar depth.

It also takes away my decoys.

Can anyone make a patch for this or show me what files to change to rid the stock MS32 paint scheme upgrade, or is it hard coded?

Is it Balao? And whats the difference between first balao conning tower and second? Because if its only paint scheme, then you can move the upgrade in time:
\Data\UPCData\UPCUnitsData\UnitParts3Balao.upc
there find this section:

Code:

[UnitPart 2]
ID= BalaoConningMs32
Type= GatoConningTower				;Can only placed on unit parts slot of this type
NameDisplayable= A new paint scheme was applied to your submarine: MS 32/3SS-B
UnitPartInterval=NULL, NULL
ExternalLinkName3D= data/objects/Conning_Balao_02
HullTextureNameOverride=data/Submarine/NSS_Balao/NSS_Balao_T02.tga
HullLightmapTextureNameOverride=data/Submarine/NSS_Balao/NSS_Balao_O01.tga
HullNormalmapTextureNameOverride= NULL
MenuSilhouetteTextureNameOverride= Balao_Class_02.tga

And change UnitPartInterval=NULL, NULL to something like UnitPartInterval=1990-12-01, 1992-12-01

Maybe this will need a tweak too:
Data\Submarine\NSS_Balao\NSS_Balao.upc

Code:

[UserPlayerUnit 1.UnitPartSlot 1]
ID=BalaoConningSlot
NameDisplayable=Conning Tower Mount
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes=GatoConningTower								;Only UnitParts of this type could be placed here
IDLinkUnitPartIntervalDefault1= NULL, 1944-04-01, BalaoConningMs9
IDLinkUnitPartIntervalDefault2= 1944-04-02, NULL, BalaoConningMs32
ExternalNodeName3D= Z01

The dates for IDLinkUnitPartIntervalDefault1 and 2 should be adjusted accordingly (?)

I am trying to point you (or someone else in this forum who may want to help) in right direction; I have no idea if this will work...

I have no idea, but you might try asking this in the TMO thread. Ducimus would surely know the answer.
