Mk10TorpNotes=
and the Mark 16 (1944 and later - if active at all in GFO) has
Mk16TorpInfo=Speed: <b>46 kt</b>|Range: <b>12,500 m</b>|Propulsion: <b>Hydrogen Peroxide</b>
Mk16TorpNotes=
Note that both of them have an empty "Notes" field, which is indicative of stock. Your install shows signs of added content for the Mark 10, so look at either MaxOptics or the MedalsFix mods from CapnScurvy for an edited UPCLocalization.tsr file, and see if one of the the fields has a typo for "Mk16TorpInfo" and Mk16TorpNotes.
yeah, i thought of that but none of the mods in my list changed the TSR file. it is still the original version.


i figured it out.

in the game, the Ammo GUI takes the data, not from the TSR, but from the Ammunition.UPC file.
the Ammunition file gets the Info and Notes from the TSR.
do not ask me to explain that one.

[Ammunition 10]
ID=Mk16Torpedo
NameDisplayable= Mark 16 Torpedo
Type= AmmoTorpedo
Subtype=Mk16TorpUS
AmmunitionIntervalOptionCurrent= NULL, NULL, 0
AmmunitionIntervalOptions1= 1945-01-01, 1975-01-01, 400
Volume= 1
PackSize=1
Info=Mk16TorpInfo
Notes=

so.....once i updated the Ammo.upc file with the proper field from the TSR, the Info displays in the game.
bing...bang...BOOM

thanks for confirming that it is not I who is the moron.
