[WIP] Help with .upc file

I'm trying to get a crew closer to real numbers in the Typ II U-boote of OMark Waters. Currently the Type II classes have a crew of 41, when the historical crew was about 25-26 (slightly varying depending on the source).

Things were going well, as I was changing stuff for the different compartments in the .upcge file (not only crew slots, also efficiency figures)... until I reached the Deck Watch crew. I can't find it in the .upcge file. Where is it located? I want to reduce the lookout slots from 3 to 2, but have no clue where to find it.



I've tried the search option of the forums but couldn't find anything related .

I finally found it... You would think that given that the hull crew had the file next to the hull .dat, the conning tower crew would have it next to the tower .dat, but no .

Well, Ubisoft at its best.



For some reason the Crew Berthing refuses to change the number of slots. Tried different combinations of leaders and crew (1+2, 3+0, 0+3) but it always stays at 6. Nevermind, I'm quite happy as it is now.

Now, some testing .

another way to do what your seek is to just transfer off the lower skilled crew until you have the 25-26 that you want and then distribute them to the billets as you desire.

Sure, there is always a cheap way and a proper way to do things .

well, what you are trying to do can be done in different ways, some are quite complex.

i could give you a PB-style response where i describe how to build the clock when you really just asked for the time.

if you want to use a more sophisticated solution, send me a PM, and we can get down to it.

Thanks for the offer, but I already solved the problem .

Hard to do? no, but tedious. But now all my Typ II subs have proper crews .

A more... proper way, would be grand...

And... just to be clear, is not just only relegated to the Type II, on that... issue, but the other Uboats, as well... btw.


Is also, something, that is sorely needed on the fleetboat side of it, as well... BUT, that's another matter, altogether.


Just saying...

What other subs in DW need something similar? Now I have it fresh in my brain and could try to expand it to other classes.
