the Narwhal mod

[Lambtron84]

I did it I found a few loose ends which needed input, namely NameDisplayable= in the career file, which was empty. Filled those in, and voila, I have my new sub
Thanks guys. Going to be working on designing an emblem for her

Glad you got it, we posted at the same time however I'll leave this one in.

Happy Hunting!

In SaveGames in My Documents, here are the two files:

In ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc:

At the top:

[UserPlayerUnit 1]
ID=Balao
NameDisplayable=Balao
UnitName=USS Batfish (SS-310)
UpgradeClass=3
......... file continues with more fields that set up the boat and crew going down.

These file portions I pasted in here are the output - made by a Tool that lets me set up my boat, including the name, the patrol area, and a few other things.... these are the only files I could find in SavedGames with the name and hull number I selected for this test, "USS Batfish (SS-310)".

Welcome urchin263

afaik it is. After you make a small donation to Subsim for sure it is, also if you are at all active in the forum it is. This is just my opinion of how it works with the NARWHAL mod... unsure what the policy is though.

.. anyway, Happy Hunting!
