Default Help with the EQP file please...

I need some help with the following issue, so if anyone could give me a hand, will be most welcome...


Ok, let's see...
I have the NBB_North_Carolina.EQP file (just some entries used as example):


[Equipment 1]
NodeName=M01 <===
LinkName=16in_Triple_base_US <===
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

[Equipment 2]
NodeName=M02 <===
LinkName=16in_Triple_base_US <===
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

[Equipment 3]
NodeName=M03 <===
LinkName=16in_Triple_base_US <===
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231


[Equipment 13]
NodeName=L01 <===
LinkName=REF_small <===
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

[Equipment 14]
NodeName=L02 <===
LinkName=REF_small <===
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

[Equipment 15]
NodeName=L03 <===
LinkName=REF_small <===
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

[Equipment 16]
NodeName=L04 <===
LinkName=REF_small <===
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231


I need to know where the info marked with the red <=== is coming from, I mean, from another file? If so, what file? Where is that file?

Does this info apply for all ships?



Again, thanks a lot for any info I can get!

NodeName=Letter\NumberNumber point to a Node included into .dat file of the ship.

LinkName=GunOrObject point to a file into Library folder, you must search a .dat file

Best regards,
Vd

Oh, I see, thanks for your help VD!!!!

Now I understand it makes sense, however, is there a way to know the specific file in the Library folder? There are so many....

Found the guns, but the REF_small might be somewhere else... perhaps it's making reference to cargos or something else...

@CapZap1970
PM sent to you.

Rename those having the same nodes in the .DAT file accordingly
M02, M03 >=== M01
L02, L03, L04 >=== L01

and you get a simple .EQP file

[Equipment 1]
NodeName=M01
LinkName=16in_Triple_base_US

[Equipment 2]
NodeName=L01
LinkName=REF_small
