Who knows.
One thing we do know is that if a submarine came with an Aft gun, is that if you previously moved the gun forward to a bow mount, that anytime you go to do an "upgrade", it is a good idea to move the gun back to the aft mount before proceeding with an upgrade. You are also advised to remove the gun crew from ALL guns and place them back in their original locations, or in the Damage Control Team slots for "safe-keeping". It does not happen as often as it used to, but back when, you might lose the gun crew altogether somewhere in the digital etherworld of nowheresville. All of this was the idea behind placing reminder green circles around the sub ports, in that if you save outside that "busy" area when coming into port, you have something to fall back on. We should - forgiving the RAM-state of the grey matter at this end of the mod - have the circles around all potential home ports for the next release, and a combined User's Manual with a TOC and Index (we hope). That would have a section devoted to this issue and other frustrating aspects of the SH4 game.  |
Yeah. The original issue of the one missing crew member for the aft gun wasn't an "additionalrepository" issue. That was actually what I was expecting when I first looked in the file...to just find one of the crewman positions with additional repository text in it. Anyway, basically did what you said; I went back in time and swapped deck gun back to original aft position first, then purchased dual guns again. This time I got the guns, but only crew for one gun, but was able to quickly fix that through removal of additionalrepository from the crew positions in the second compartment. That I understood, and could resolve. Done it many times. However, the one completely missing crewman from my original post is still just a great mystery that Sherlock friggin' Holmes could probably never solve.
