If you wouldn't mind, it might be helpful to get that message, though I think it's just going to tell you that you can have a new conning tower. I don't know if anyone would have seen this before because only those folks using the killflags mod would even notice. It's got me scratching my head. I don't think a mod would cause that kind of problem, but you never know. :hmm:

Thanks, prologos. We'll have to look into what the heck they were thinking when they put a Gato tower on a Tambor. :rotfl: I'm hoping this only happens for the half-cut in early war (shouldn't happen too often). In the meantime, when you get your update (which, hopefully I will get caught up on today) you'll need to do what you did before to make it show.

I meant to ask you if you did this in the game files or in the mod file. It would be best to extract the skin and change the names of the files in the mod folder and then activate it with JSGME. That way you don't lose the original Gato tower skin (and later on, when you get a Gato, you don't wonder why it has the Trout insignia on it:hmm: ).

Thanks for the help in identifying what caused the problem, now we just have to come up with a solution.

Initially I changed the files in the game directory. Now I 'll just use JSGME as you suggest...

Hi.

I want to join the kill flag family, and i have some questions. It sais that i have to report a new boat that is not listed below. This means what exactly? Does it mean that i can use SS-194 if i get that ingame? Ore do i have to come up with a new name, new ss number, create an emblem and then report it in? U see i just started a new career with a Sargo class sub.

But to see if i understand correct. I can use the same emblem and name as another captain, i just file a report.
If i want a spechial boat i "can create it", and register it. but this is not manditory?

Hope u can help me clearefy this.

know im noob btw..


Edit
Have requested a new boat. so lets see how this goes. SS197 Seawolf.. i know it was sunk but i realy liked the emblem! And im going to see if i can change history! :hmm:

Welcome, fagras. No need to worry about noobishness, we all were noobs in the beginning. Let me try to clarify the procedure.

1) The game assigns you a boat (or you assign yourself one by making changes to some game files)

2) You go to Battleflags.net submarine list and look in your class of boat to see if we have already "built" your sub.

3a) If the sub is there, you download it, extract it, put it in your MODS folder and activate it like any mod.

3b) If the sub is not there, then you request it here and we "build it" and let you know when it's done so you can download it. If you can't find an emblem (or trust us completely to give you a good one) we have sources to get emblems and patches. If you go looking for an emblem/patch yourself, make sure and get the best quality and largest image you can find. The bigger and better the patch image is, the better the patch will look on the flag and the emblem will look on the sub.

4) At the end of each patrol, you file a patrol report at the link in the first post in this thread. In this patrol report you give us your TOTALS for the sub that you are currently in command of.

If you have any more questions, just keep asking 'till we get it answered.
