How to edit deck gun ammo

[Raptor]

You will always show zero rounds for the cannon until you manually order the gun crew to load the first shell. Order the deck gun manned. Go to the gun station (F10). Click on the shell. The white bar will fill as the gun is loaded and your ammo count will appear. When loaded, retire the gun crew. They will automatically load each successive round as needed BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM LOAD THE FIRST ONE.



To manually edit the files for ammo loadout:

There are TWO sets of values you must change in /SilentHunterIII/data/Cfg/Basic.cfg/
Make these values anything you want but the numbers must match in both locations; 250 and 3000 are the GWX defaults, and GWX gives only HE for the deck gun by default
