Can't seem to get upgraded to Gato, TMO2.5

I'm just sorry this has manifested itself into a problem. I've poured a lot of effort into this game and mod. The kick in the crotch is I haven't honestly tried to play a real career game in a couple of years. Test games a plenty, but to sit down and enjoy it? It's just not in my capacity. I know too much of the inner workings to suspend disbeleif, all i see is variable and objects; and because of that, i have zero desire to play.

Anyway in the interm, to fix this problem, you'll have to look at the submarine UPC files of the last version of TMO, in specific the upgradeclass variable. It should be near the top section of the file. Edit this to the last version of TMO, and then take the careerstart.upc file, and the flotilla.upc file as well. They're located i belelive, data/upcdata/upccampaign or something like that. Should be a straight drag and drop. This will pretty much be what the patch will look like, if you want to go ahead and fix the problem yourself. I will patch it, though i cannot say when. I have very little desire to look at the game, other then to save face from my collossoal screw up, and i don't have any of the previous files backed up on my new computer. So if i can't grab the old files, ill have to fix things the hard way.

The above is going by memory mind you, i'm slightly buzzed right now from captain morgan rum. Anyway, the only way to salvage the concept behind the terrible T campaign, is basically to disable and remove every freaking sub from play EXCEPT the one boat you want to play the entire war. Kinda sucks, but there it is.
