Brief description:
Although this application is similar to H. Gieseke's DA II, I purposely didn't even peek at his code because this was a project I made to familiarize myself with VB .NET. Any similarities, while not coincidental , were unintentional. After all, when two programs are written to do similar things, they're bound to have some similar code! That doesn't mean I don't give him credit, though. It was his program that inspired me to do this in the first place, especially because it seemed that development on that project had been frozen for some time.
Anyway, this application actually factors in the crew experience *by comparment* so that if the forward torpedo room gets damaged and it's the worst damage on the ship, you rely on the experience of the forward torpedo room when the damage estimate comes in. Any "Unmanned" compartments are covered by the damage control team - including the hull, which is almost always worst damaged - so now there's a reason to have experienced crew on the damage control team! Also, this application peeks at the submarine cfg file to get the crush depth and periscope depths, so it can report diving depth in feet instead of percentages.
If you have any questions, you can ask them here or contact me at: billko@worldnet.att.net. Anyone sending me email pertaining to the application will be added to my Damage Control mailing list for update notification.

Surprisingly, neither this description, nor the thread link actually explains what this application does or how it works. From what I read here, it's an app that's similar to someone elses app and has something to do with damage control?
I'm assuming this is some sort of standalone gadget that gives you information related to sub damage while you play? If so, I would be interested to know what files it's reading from in the game that are updated live as you play. Is it all coming from the sub cfg file?
You know - all you had to do was read the first line of the description to realize that the second line contained a link to the forum thread where there's more than you probably wanted to know about the mod.
@niwo
Probably you had a different version of the installer than I used. Right around the time that you posted, MS made some changes to the install files that screwed everyone over that had the older setup files.
