(Req) ST Radar as upgrade for other subs than Tench

Ducimus · 08-03-11, 01:49 PM

ST radar appears on the tench because i hardwired it that way. Hard wiring it was the easiest way to do it, (and tench was the only excuse for a boat having it coming out of the gate) and i wasn't and still am not entirely sure it can be made to be a selectable upgrade option. It is alot of work.

Off the top of my head, you'll have to edit and change around the configurations on:

- every subs UPC file (this is a pain)
- equpiment upc file
- upgradepacks upc file
- US sub sensors dat file
- possibly all the conning tower dat files to make sure the nodes are correct.

You'll have to create two options. A normal periscope, and the ST periscope. And this is assuming you can get it to work as an upgrade option. It's can be bit tricky, as the game can be finicky. It's alot of work for something that might work, or it might not. So i never got around to trying to do it.

Well, I got one file right, but I did say some other files would come into play...

Thanks for the info duci, no clue how to fix it myself really but have poked around in the files while making minor changes(renown for torpedos etc) and the equip upc maybe it was i noticed ST radar. as an upgrade so was curious.Maybe someone will get it to work sometime, would be a nice upgrade.
