Yes, a hint that I can stop working on it. Goddamn it, always too late.

Thanks.

The thought and eagerness to help in modding was there!!

Cheers.

Yes indeed what I'd love to see is the following, if at all possible. The sub pens have been modded to include the "A" and "B" on the entrance. I have a pic of "Lorient" I think which has numbered pens eg. "A" 12 "B" etc. I was going to look into this myself but need more help with designing harbours / blocks of buildings. I think this would add even more immersion if it was possible. Could the left and right be joined in such a way that a digit of the number was one either side so that they came together and could a block of pens use different lefts and rights next to each other if theis makes sense thus: A 10 B A 11 B etc. thus at St. Nazaire/ I think the current A and B need reversing and outlining and the number added in the middle.

Trouble is each pen is a duplicate, so if one was 12 all would be 12!!

Nice picture of Erich Topp!!

I was wondering about that, I didn't know if a "block" of pens could contain different objects eg. a left and right "10" then a left and right "11" etc. I know that there would be more objects, probably talking rubbish I tried in another thread to get more info on editing harbours.

Edit:

I probably didn't explain that well, what I meant was could one "clone" a pen object and change it then make a block of such objects nect to each other?.

As it is, there's sub_pen_left and sub_pen_right, which the game puts next to eachother to make a full 2 pen bunker.

What you describe would (I think) be possible as you said, by cloning and giving it a new texture, after that you should go and edit the harbour layout and change the references to the original 2 sub pens to have, for example, sub_pen_1, sub_pen_2, sub_pen3 etc.

So, very possible, but quite a bit of work just for a few letters.

Or, if someone really wanted, they could just make one big bunker model and replace the stock bunkers with it, but I think there might be problems to get it fit to all harbours.
