How can i change submarine names, from USS batfish to different?

Please help.

I think it is impossible, at least on a game level. I don't know about it in modding level.

But the game must read names Like USS batfish, Uss seadragon, USS Pampanito, from some file i think.

There are 2 files you need to change if memmory corrects me go to my documents/sh4/data/cfg/saved games, open the last game you played alter the subs name then find a file called Career Track.upc and change the subs name in there to what ever you want and save.
Next time you start a new mission your sub will be renamed to what you changed it to.

I'd recommend that you start a new thread for that question, rather than posting in an old one

I'm pretty sure you can change sub names, I remember a while back I named my sub the USS Buttstench. Very mature of me I know.

I'd change my sub's name to 'Seatiger.' (I've been seeing too many dispatches referring to my sub sinking something I haven't sunk.)

Whoops - nevermind.

=====================================

ORIGINALLY POSTED BY MATILDA IN 2008

=====================================

go to C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\My Documents\SH4\data\cfg\SaveGames\ find the save game you wish to edit

theres 2 files you need to edit

one is Careertrack.upc just open it up with notepad do searches for you boats original name, then change it to you new boats name, the other is ActiveUserPlayerUnits.UPC

ActiveUserPlayerUnits.UPC looks alittle like this

[UserPlayerUnit 1]
ID=Porpoise
NameDisplayable=Porpoise
UnitName=USS Perch <<< rename the sub here. ex: USS SupremeSubwithcheese

theres another folder called UPCInitial open this and you'll find files of the same name change these also if you dont have a UPCInitial folder in the saved game folder don't worry about it your done

I recommend setting these files to read-only because SH4 has a habit of undoing your changes. Once you save in game you don't have to worry about renaming it again. unless you make a new career.
