Modding U-Boat Numbers Question

Kpt. Lehmann · 09-14-05, 12:56 PM

S! All,

I have attempted several forum searches and been unsuccessful.

Can anyone tell me where I need to go in the SH3 files to mod the U-Boat numbers assigned in career mode?

I would like to make certain U-Boat numbers available in my game.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to change you U-boat number, it is really quite simple. MAke sure you have at least one patrol under your belt. Then, open My Documents. Open the SH3 folder. Open data/cfg. Open up the Careers folder. Then open the folder with the name of your kaleun. Find the Patrols_0 cfg file. Scroll down to the very last patrol patrol you did. There will be a line there: SubName=

After the = sign will be your current U-boat number. Change the number to anything you want. Save it and enjoy the new number.

Thanks Sixx-Killer,

That is in a way what I am looking for, however I would like to find the "batch of U-Boats pool" that is assigned to players by the game when you start a career or change U-Boat types.

Oh, ok. That is easy as well.

Go to Program Files/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/data/Roster/German/Submarine

Once there, just open the cfg file for the type of U-boat you want.
