All of the submarines (except for the Tang and Skate) are from Epic mod and Playable Subs mod. The Tang and Skate used the preexisting models (ROC Guppy and Nautilus) and files. I simply copied and changed the names.

Thank you Davidtman!

A question: I would like to transfer one of the submarines from Epicmod to Dotmod.

Where should I look which files to find and transfer one particular submarine? Please provide a concrete example...

The easiest way I found to transfer files is do a search for the class of sub in the main game folder. This should pull up all of the files needed, then copy and past into the respective folders in Dot Mod. However each individual file may contain data that is not valid in Dot Mod. You will either need to replace that data with data that works in Dot Mod or create the new data. For example both Epic and Playable subs contain torpedoes, missiles, sonar/radar systems that are not in Dot Mod. For realism purposes I created these systems in Dot Mod

That trailer was amazing. So excited.

I have found in the depth of the game that the Dutch submarine "Zwaardvis" is available. OK, fine...
Then why can't I simply choose that submarine in e.g. "Single missions" or in "Camaign" ???

Looks Promising.......

Each individual single mission and campaign has its own file. To add submarines you will need to add the Zwaardvis to the file on the "Player Vessel" line.

@Davidtman:

I've put the name of a submarine on that line maybe 20 times today... Without any success!
For a change, I put the name at the beginning of the line instead of now at the end.

And guess what? Strange, but it works now!

Thank you!


EDIT: Ehh.. I mean it works indeed, by the missions! I didn't find such lines by the Campaigns, so.... What to do there?

I have never added a sub to a campaign. I almost entirely play single missions an create my own mission.

Well, one more help. I’ll give you the "editor.txt" file modified and incorporating in the front row the Dutch submarine you prefer.You should allow to use it in the "single mission" reconfigured through the "Mission Editor". Make a backup of the original file and replace it in the root directory of the dot mod.I hope you find it useful.Greetings!!!
