[TEC] Increase weapons loadout Collins Class

Fearless · 01-05-19, 07:45 PM

Hi team,
Having looked at statistics for the Collins Class Sub, I note that the sub can carry a mix of 22 weapons comprising of Harpoon and Mk 48 Mod 4 or Mod 7 torpedoes. The current maximum loadout for DWX/RA 1.46 Collins Class is all up (including loaded tubes) 18 weapons..

Is there a way I can increase this so it can hold 22? I had a look in DWEdit and changed the loadout in the Launcher file but the loadout has not changed in game.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Weapon loadouts in the Launcher dialog in DWEdit are ONLY for AI platforms in game.

Weapon loadouts for user platforms are hardcoded in the wpnloadout.dll and fctd.dll/fctarget.dll files.
Only hexediting those files will actually change the user played platform weapon loadout.

Ah.thanks Pirate

I was also wondering which interface was used by the Collins Class sub in DWX/RA mod.

It uses the NON_NUKE_SUB interface which is a highly modified Kilo interface.
Also it's FCTD.dll is actually FCTarget.dll renamed to FCTD.dll

Well, I thought I'd have a go at Hex editing but have no idea what to look for.

What Hex editing tool do you guys use and what should I be looking for?

Thanks in advance.
