Not sure I understand the question, you want to remove a tower that isn't there?

I assume you might mean your sub doesn't have a conning tower?

Well anyway here are the files:

1. In the submarine.dat file is a Z01 node, that is for the conning tower.
like this: cfg#Z01_NSS_Balao
2. In the submarine.upc file is an entry like this which point to the Z01 node and textures etc:

[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

3. The actual towers.dat, sim etc are in the Objects folder.

4. The upc files for the tower are in the UPCData/UPCUnitsData/UnitParts#subname.upc.

So if you need to eliminate the tower, you delete #1 and #2. BUT your deckwatch, radars, radio, periscopes, flak guns are all in the tower. So if you eliminate the tower you need to transfer the UnitParts#Subname.upc stuff into the Submarine.upc file (the equipment and if you want, the crew) and renumber compartments for them.

Then you take the stuff that is needed from the Objects folder for the equipment and put it into the submarine.dat, .sim, etc. make sure you use the same Object 'tower' as the Unitparts 'tower'.

Edit: Sorry I didn't say that right it doesn't contain the radars in contains the radar antenna, radio antenna and so on. Not the actual radar unit itself.

Ok I'll let you know how I get on

[iowa101]

Here is a picture of the next ship I'm going for.

And here is where I've got so far.

I am now in the process of matching the front portion of the ship to the side view and then I'll update you guys after

p.s

Sorry Marka I'm hijacking your post here mate

[Marka Ragnos]

not a problem

you are welcome to

[Marka Ragnos]

since we have derailed anyway, i would like to showcase one of my own little projects.

Before i say anything credits go to karle94 for making the model.
I will NOT release this ship because i have no permission and there is still one bug that needs fixing.

It's the H-44 i changed almost everything

First of here is the "before" picture




I changed the followng:

- Made it US playable
- Changed the aft flag from german to american
- Removed the plane
- Increased the speed, reload and strength of all weapons
- Nuclear missiles (this blows away everything, for this i had to make the ship invulnerable)
- Changed the skin of the ship, there was a texture issue but i managed a work around
- Renamed the ship to USS New York because of it's "two towers"


Well here she is: (Karle it's a beauty)

If i have something to start with i will help you out where i can, and making it available for download won't be possible anytime soon.

Going around and asking for permission is allready a big task
Now that peabody has given me the solution for the crew the BIG bug is gone
