What is the most common error that would make a conning tower not show up?

I assume you are talking about your boat's tower.

Check whatever changes you made, before the errors started.

Check what is written in *.eqp file. Are the dates correct? Are the nodes correct?

Someone else may have better ideas.

The first mod I tried back in 2007 was this fix for firing a torpedo every time I bumped the Enter Key that wasted many of my first torpedoes. Today I read a post by Sniper297 that describes the solution that so many including myself used in Stock SH4 to prevent this accidental firing of our valuable torpedoes:

For Stock SH4 v1.5 & 1.4.

If you open \Data\Cfg\Commands.cfg in notepad and find;

[Cmd313]
Name=Fire_torpedo
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x0D,,"Enter"

Change that to

[Cmd313]
Name=Fire_torpedo
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x0D,c,"Enter"

The lowercase c changes that from ENTER to CTRL+ENTER so the fish won't fire from accidentally hitting either ENTER key, since you have to hold down the CTRL key and hit ENTER to fire that tube.

Happy Hunting!
