here is no way to fix your VIIB eqp file at the end of the patrol. You can only do this in the Harbor and go out on a new patrol with a changed set of pennants. Make sure your SH3 Commander doesn't make changes to the eqp. To do this, after loading the menu, do Alt+Tab and check your modified VIIB eqp file.

Yeah, I've been experimenting with a save from this patrol just outside the harbor.
I tried editing the .eqp file entries to reflect my actual tonnage and then reloading the save with these changes, but I only got a blank pennant line when I did that.
So I eliminated that idea.

I'm still a confused on why one would edit the eqp file *after* a patrol with the changes only taking place on the next patrol.

I.e., if one was editing the file to reflect their tonnage, they'd be going on a new patrol with the pennants reflecting the prior one wouldn't they ?

Or am I missing the entire point of the editing; it's used for something else ?

Also, any idea why the pennants wouldn't show at all at the harbor at the end of the patrol but did at the start of the next ?
Don't need them *leaving* the harbor, i.e. I'm assuming they'll work at the end of this patrol, don't know.

Thanks for your help.

I'll try to explain the situation on my fingers. You survived at sea. The game recorded one set of code. You're trying to make a change. The new code does not match the saved one and this causes CTD. So all the changes you make between hikes.

Yeah I know how saved files an get corrupted with changes. I was surprised I didn't get a ctd when I tried the experiment I mentioned.
Loaded fine several times.

Anyway, seems to be working now as intended.

Pennants must appear at R500 m from the Base point. When you leave and return, you can post them. Make sure you have edited your eqp file correctly. Follow the order of the numbers in [EQUIPMENT**]
