British Submarine for US side??

[iowa101]

Just tried it and it crash'd on me, is there anyway to make the one I have playable for US side, It's playable on the Quick missions and War patrols, but not playable in campaign.

I want to have it from the start to finish, But I need to know how. Also when I choose it in the missions the conning tower and other stuff is missing from the sub. How do I fix it??

First of all you need to let us know what version of SH4 you are using, and what mods you are using, it may not work at all if the other MOD is crashing on you.
You also say it works in Quick missions but there is no tower, that is not what I would consider "it works".

Usually if the tower does not show it is the UnitParts #. You will find it in the Data/UPCData/UPCUnitsData folder. Each sub has a UnitParts#subname.upc. If you have two numbers the same, that causes the problem, USUALLY, not always. So check the British sub mod and comapre it with the stock game files and see if there are two numbers the same. If there are, then change the British sub to the next unused number.

Well, I have uboat missions and no mods at the moment, and what I mean by it works, is that it's playable and responds to every command.

The UPCUnitData shows this for the British Submarine - UnitPartsXSSU.upc would that be ok or would i need to change it?? I have no Idea how this game works.

It is not easy to figure it out since I don't even know what sub it is. But if it actually says, "UnitPartsXSSU.upc", then it is not right. I would assume the 'Readme' file probably tells you to replace the X with a number that is next in line so it will not conflict with any subs you already have. Or maybe that information was given in the thread for the sub. I don't know but it should be a number not an X. Once it is working, then we can worry about putting it in the campaign.

Is there somewhere I can download this to look at it? I might be more help if I actually had the sub.

All right so I managed to get the conning tower to load, now I'm working on tweaking something.

I did download the sub and found one problem. It only has a range of 6000 miles so it would be almost useless in the Pacific. So I think you need to either raise the range or play with unlimited fuel, or write special missions for it since it can't do a lot of the stock missions.

From you first post do you need it added to campaign mode, and do you want the range increased? (If you need help with that part.)
Glad to see you got the tower problem fixed.
