Diesels - Crank it up. (REL)

I took the chance to and it worked i dont use RFB. I was happy. How is Version 2 coming!?

[Den0]

I see the smoke on yours it comes out the side vents. BTW where did you place that 88 on the tower layout I have one i want to put on mine but not sure where to place it on the layout.

Are you playing TMO because that is one upgraded tower.

Water comes out when I engage engines...

No, those are my own hacks - the number 88 is because whatever is on the conning tower or hull is mirrored on the other side, so one side looks good and the other is sdrawkcab. 88 looks the same on both sides. There's a decal mod someplace that supposedly fixes the mirroring problem but I got so many back burner projects now I haven't had time to figure out how to use it. Been so long I can't remember what I modded to get a late war conning tower at career start with a pair of 40MM BOFORS instead of them piddly 20MM Oerlikons, but I'll take a look and see if I can find which file it is. And someday when I need a break from all this modding and testing I'll post a tute on reskinning.

And yeah, turning around so one side shaded from sunlight I DO have exhaust smoke, but the wee snotty beasties are so teenytiny and transparent it's almost not worth the bother. This smoke is so polite and genteel any sailor would bag it up and keelhaul it, which it would probably suffer with an extended pinkie.

Guess I'm gonna need to do my own tweaks to make everything in that DAT file bigger and more obnoxious, make it smoke like a 50 year old Alco RS-3 loco that never had an overhaul.

That would rock to have smoke bellowing out of her!! Man I have some messed up sound files now not getting some sounds that where there before I think I may have corrupted this save file BTW with 5.1 the sounds around the boat are different like if I look left the spray is louder then looking head on. Same with the Engine if I go to rear deck gun its like and earthquake on the deck. Taking some getting used to. And underwater OMG its loud!!

please do try and find that tower file that would be super cool!!

Found it.

Data\UPCData\UPCUnitsData

Three files, Weapons.upc, UpgradePacks.upc and UnitParts6Sargo.upc (your favorite sub, or all subs if you're ambitious)

Availability dates, change the first number to 1941-12-01 or anything before December 7 1941 to have it available at 1941 career start. Late war conning tower is needed for a forward AA gun, since both the early and mid war towers still had the upper helm station which was sawed off and converted to a forward gun platform in later years.

type them out in that folder? "Deer in the Headlight look"

[Sniper297]

No, they're .upc files, copy them to a backup folder, then go back to the SH4 folder and right click on one, select "Open With" from the popup window, select Notepad and edit each file like you would any other text file. If you make a m!$tAkE just copy the file from the backup folder to replace the bad one. Main thing is it requires a little tinkering, for example you change the AcceptedTypes=USLightAA to AcceptedTypes=USHeavyAA in the sub UPC file, then sit there banging your head wondering why you can't have that gun, later find out the availability date in the other two files needs to be changed to before the career start date so it's listed in the upgrade options.

As for your other problem, might want to google that sound card, find stuff like this;

Was working until I started changing files in and out today testing the engine sounds. So yeah think I messed up some sound files. Did a test on my speakers they are all working. Thats way to much hacking for me I would ruin my game maybe I could give you my teamspeak address and you could talk me through it if you use teamspeak.

Oh ok I see what your saying so I just need to alter the dates only right?

Example WeaponInterval= 1941-12-01, 1942-12-01 - change all the dates 1941?
