Well you didn't believe me the last time I posted it but here is my post from the Narwhal thread.

The Narwhal may seem to work fine, but it is affecting other files in TMO. It may also cause problems with others weapons and equipment which are changed in the same files used by TMO and the Donation Narwhal.

@Sledgehammer: The Donation Narwhal Upgradepacks.upc has 32 entries, most likely the stock plus the Narwhal 6 inch guns. But the TMO 2 Upgradepacks.upc has 40 entries, so it is definitely NOT compatible as it stands. Also the TMO Narwhal and the Donation Narwhal have the same Unitparts number and the Weapons.upc changed the 5in51calUS with the 6inNarwhal, so there will be a gun missing from the TMO file.

There are also some .dds file that are changed, one being the tower texture, since Ducimus has a Narwhal in TMO.

There are conflicts with guns and equipment that can cause problems that need to be fixed and I did not list them all since I did not look for all of them.
If you use ONLY the Narwhal you "might" get away without noticing them, but if you get offered a new sub you will have problems.
Also if you only replace the Narwhal files, you will not have the Narwhal guns. So it may seem to be working fine but there are file conflicts going on that you may or may not run into depending on what happens. There are 6 differences in the Weapons.upc alone.

So if it works for you, have fun, but it will be full of conflicts.
