I am working on update for DW. Will take a while but adding a few things.

I'm having a hard time following the instructions for the turm fix. I'd like to try this mod out, but if the game breaks every time there is a conning tower upgrade, thats going to be a problem. I'm having several interpretations of the instructions.


1. Copy the relevant data from the original aupu file into the dummy file. Then copy dummy file into UPCinitial folder (which is not in a save game folder at all)


2. Copy the relevant data from the dummy aupu file into a copy of the original aupu file. Then copy the copy of the original into UPCinitial folder.


3. Neither of these

After digging around, it seems the step about the UPCinitial is causing the confusion. There is no such folder within the save folder. So now I'm interpreting as:

1. Copy relevant info from autosave aupu.
2. Overwrite corresponding info in the dummy save aupu with copied info in step 1.
3. Save modified dummy aupu
4. Replace autosave aupu with modified dummy aupu
5. ?
6. Profit!

Am i understanding this correctly? I've developed quite the headache trying to puzzle this out!

Trying it out

Very dangerous. you go first.

actually, Fifi created that model because there were some who wanted to emulate the awful decision by the Kreigsmarine to fight it out on the surface.

he did a good job but the career is short and violent.

I survived the first U Flak patrol. Located and escorted two U Boats into Brest Harbor, under heavy air attack. Shot down 7 aircraft over 96 hours in Bay of Biscay.

However, I can see how it will become tough. November 1943 is next "patrol"

Booo-oooh-ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaa....

Zee airplanes, zay are like flies, are zay not?... Ja!


As to what you are trying ImBatman, I do not remember it being real complicated, but it seems to me that it is the data in the Save folder, but that it must be the proper latest numbered Save folder set (ie "00000001" etc), and it might have to be duplicated in a 2nd numbered folder with the same date/time stamp. I do not remember the exact location, but I thought it was the ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc file under the numbered folders that had to be altered with the proper entries from the \UPCDataGE \UPCUnitsData \UnitParts#SubName.upc file in the mod's Data folder... don't take my word for it though, the EEPROM in this device is rapidly losing its charge. In fact, the system battery might be quite low...

KM or some of the others might remember, but can you decline a "Re-Fit" for a turm "upgrade", or is it foisted upon you without authority?...
