[REQ] Japanese subs

As for Op Monsun compatibility, what do you care ? It's made to play a u-boot, you would have to "undo" tons of features before even beginning to really "work", better start from stock since nothing has been done for the japanese side yet (I'm talking about the game, not just the units).

Well, right now I'm working on learning the S3E so that will take me a while, so the campaign thing is not an issue at the moment. I tried your clone tut but I did something wrong, it shows I can select it but then it crashes during the load, I'm going to go back and try again. I think it will be easier than trying to find a typo or something like that. I think i did the remap thing right, I tried it both ways.
1. Hit random and do all the hull without hitting random again. Then did the conning tower (turm) without touching random.
2 Hit random did the hull, then loaded the Conning tower and hit random again and did them all without hitting random again.
Neither one worked so I think I missed changing something, in the rename section.

You will get a kick out of this!! I did something stupid; I got lazy and the first time, I used the "search and replace' to change the names to "Newsub". Well, it changed some stuff it wasn't suppose to. That's what I get for trying a shortcut.:rotfl:.

I'm working on the Sen Toku in the Japan folder with the German IX9D2 or something like that, don't have the name handy right now. (I don't have a 3D program so I can't make my own right now) And I got the propellers, moved them and found them about 20ft behind the sub. Moved the Deck gun, but couldn't find the flak guns, then I remembered, they would be in the conning tower. Found them. Moved the guns up to the new conning tower. Exported the 3D model from Sen Tuko, imported, found the texture .tga files changed them. Right now I am trying to get it to sit in the water. It rides too high. Did a search and found out the info is in 'sim' so I copied the numbers from the "Sen Toku" and it was floating above the water.:rotfl:. The in game Sen Toku sits way low in the water. So I changed them back, but it sits way too high! But the number didn't make sense. the 9d2 shows a surfaced displacement of 1120 tons the Sen toku showed over 5000 tons. Strange.
Making progress, learning more about S3E and how things fit together, printing out the files that you had me move to clone, figured these would be necessary files, so I am going over them to see what info I can get that will correspond with the S3e files especailly the crew. I doing ok so far for just one day. But I did the 'easy' stuff.
