OK so files are renamed as such and I am now looking at the Eqp file for the changes I need to make Now I Know to set the A Turret to null to remove it however that is the location I need for the Hhog. when I try to put the hedgehog In, should I Just try to use the A01 zone Or do I need to give it a W0? designation if so what number on evarts its W011 is there a zone in the bows for asw weaps? on original game river DE it is W07 and naturally there isnt an Hhog already on BS but one of Null Zones may be it??????? Would using the Game RiverDE eqp file work on the BS model??????

{Key -RiverDE=original game model Destroyer escort
- RiverFF=Project model Frigate
- BSFF=original game model Frigate}

also I have p3d downloaded however its not instinctive to me and I dont entirely understand what I need to do with it Is it to compress for file sharing after Im done?

Further, I know nothing of hexediting and must learn from scratch! will the model work just fine with the BS skin?

I think I will leave the reskin as a seperate project for me, however I do want to learn how and I wonder if there is a way to put hull numbers on using a method like the side emblems on the sub? does this already exist or is it even possible?

Ok
The DE River eqp wont be any good as the zones will be in a different place
You can use the A01 zone to try the hedgehog

Pack3d
For cloning purposes best to use version 3 I think
Open pack3d - click on get dat
Point towards your new River frigate dat and open
Then click clone

The model should work with the BS skin for now

When you have cloned you can place into the game and check the ship out in the museum

No the hull numbers are different to subs and will have to be painted as part of the skin
Now the ship uses the skin reversed on one side of the ship so any number would have to be reversable
IE 1001 - 8008 - 1881 - 88 etc

best I could do is maybe HMCS Hallowell but K would be backwards on one side
K-666 would show 999-k more or less then. nonetheless thanks for the help. be back soon. M.M.

Hey I got promoted cool. some day Ill be a big English Kaleun just like you.

when it comes to trying to relocate the radar I would assume I need to get into the zones file and the text editor isnt going to cut it do you know what I need to edit zonefiles. assuming we conquer that problem do you think it would be as simple as reversing the co-ordinates on the deck house bandstand reversal??
