Mission Editor

[Voxman]

Hello All Ye Knowledgeable Sea-Faring Mariners,

Is there any way to edit the type of submarine in the stock game V1.5 inside the QUICK MISSIONS objectives menu?
I know one can go into the "mission editor" and modify all sorts of things but I haven't figured out how to change the sub type or torpedo types.
Any guidance in this effort is much appreciated!
Thank you
Voxman

[Unit 1]
Name=USS Grouper
Class=SSSalmon --------- Change this to SSBalao and you get the Balao class
Type=200
Origin=American

Load out would be it's UPC file I'd guess.

Ditto. For the hull itself, "Data \Submarine \NSS_SubName \NSS_SubName.upc" and the conning tower would be "Data \Objects \Conning_SubName_xx.upc" ("Turm_SubName_xx.upc" for German boats). Use the correct conn based upon the date. You could copy your desired files into a mini-mod with your mission file(s), then edit the guns or loadouts, and even any damage if desired (be careful with that - wouldn't want to sink yourself before you start). Activate them together and run your SingleMission. The game is somewhat weird when doing a mod like that with damage, in that you might hear some strange noises as you enter the scenario, so have your speaker volume down a pinch when starting, but not so low you miss a "vocal" prompt. When finished playing, de-activate the mod, else your submarine is always damaged...
