Hex Question: Adding a deck gun node

[alamwuhk2a]

Hello all.
I tried to add a deck gun node in the .dat file of type XXI in order to add deck gun on it. I copied the deck gun node in the .dat file of type IXb, changed ID and parent ID, then inserted to the XXI.dat. Everything goes alright.
However, when i take a look into the .dat file in pack3d, I can't see the label of the non-3d node. I try to run SilentHunter, and when the initializing screen appears, CTD
Can anyone help me? Thx

Hi,

is it a non3D node you´re talking about? It sounds to me as if you forgot to copy the attached 8/0 type data block. It has the same ID and is used to give name to the corresponding node.

Regards,
DD

Thx guy! I got it
Indeed, i forgot to change the ID before the label

Here comes another question:
I've modified the .eqp, .dat, and Basic.cfg to make the deck gun for XXI.
However, I still CTD
Do I need to modify other files like .sim, .zon, or others? Many thanks

What?! You have an XXI with a DECK GUN?! Can I have it please please please please pretty pretty please with cherry on top??? :p

[Mush Martin]

In basic cfg did you enter the deck gun into zones

I had not much success in trying to mount and workup
2nd deckgun the right way. tried zoning as Deckgun
and dgun but never quite succeded.
I needed a lot more experience first.
and am currently working that up

correction of the mount is the biggest obstacle
standing between Uberboot and release at
the moment so solving this is an interest
of both of ours,
be advised I am only just learning to hex edit
and am not likely to have any useful advice on that
aspect of the problems.

did you redo the eqp file to include the deckgun mount.?

[alamwuhk2a]

Here is what i have modified:
1. Added a cfg#M01_NSS_Uboat21_Highnon-3d node to the .dat file
2. Added equipment 3 - M01, 105mm deck gun to the .eqp file
3. Added M01=0 to Basic.cfg in [SUBMARINE_AMMO10] of 1945
4. Added M01=-1 to Basic.cfg in [SUBMARINE_AMMO10] of 1943~1944
5. Added the following code into [Submarine3]

Comp9=9;        DeckGun
Nb9=2
Subs90=DeckGun
DeckGun=24;         E_DeckGun
TimeRecovery90=2
...
62=24

6. Added M01=1 to [CONING_TYPE12]

However, i still CTD before initializing...

Yup i am a newbie in Hex editing..... I think adding a non-3d node is quite easy, but my target is to make my own light ship. Long way to go

Yeah, I put 62=24 here.

[Mush Martin]

Yeah I didnt mean the specific entries I Just thought you missed this section.

[Mush Martin]

I tried Dgun here too but couldnt get it up and running.

[alamwuhk2a]

Yeah, that is where I get stucked....... Still have no idea

[Mush Martin]

I am working on this but Hex 101 isnt coming easy like most things do
for me.

I just need to apply myself I have been assured it can be done.

Ive seen an M0 type succesfully edited to a W0 type on River FF
so Im confident that it can be done.
