Unfortunately, the extra Damage Control Party member is missing, despite I added it. There must be something else that controls crews (or more specifically the DC team), and right now I can't find what it is.



Any feedback is welcome.

yes, there is another section near the end of the Active User file that further defines the crew and their stations. it works hand-in-hand with the Crewmember Slots.

go check it out and see if you can pick up on the pattern. i say that because now that you are aware, and you understand the Crewmember Slots, you should be able to decipher the section assignments.

i am not at my SH4 computer otherwise i would paste-in an example.

Excellent! 48th and last member of the crew on board!




Silly me was looking for hints in other files, not in the same one I had already edited.

Thanks for the tip.

Nice... started a fresh career in a VII-B, and was nice to start off, without having to weed out the overage of crew on board... leaving only to check the torp load out & shove off on patrol.


1 thing I did note... & NOT related to your work @JapLance... is with U-boat emblems... iirc I got the U-52... & is supposed to be an emblem for it... which, I did select to be added to the sub. On starting the patrol, I did take a moment, to check where it should be.... & NO sight of it... at all.


Per chance, if someone can take a look into that... would be appreciated... no rush...


Have to say, am looking forward to the other U-boats, having the starting crew, thus corrected.
