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" ???

Here is a short and simple gameplay video, showcasing the functionality of the Helicopter UI Panel, and the Nixie/Sonar UI Panel.

With the coming updated are we going to get to see helicopters take off from enemy ships and come after us? That would be a cool sight through the periscope.

@Tordo:

Thank you for your "editor.txt". I did indeed see your adding from the Zwaardvis added at the beginning of editor.txt. But did you notice that the Zwaardvis is already mentioned almost at the end of that line?
Anyway, it all doesn't matter anymore: I found another way to get the Zwaardvis in all the MISSIONS! Therefore: In any case: thank you for your attention and effort!

Remains: Adding the Zwaardvis to the Campaigns! I see that there is also the Swordfish added in the "Unit Reference". But you can't choose the boat in the campaigns. That's why I think the Swaardvis will show up in the Russian campaign as "Enemy Ship". But I'm not sure because I haven't played the Russian campaign.

Still, I'd like to be able to choose the Zwaardvis in NATO campaigns!

Do you have any idea?

I learned how to mod this game by trial and error. Modding can be very complicated and start a cascade of errors. My advice is ALWAYS keep a clean copy of the original game file. Do not make a bunch of mods at once. Make one, then check to make sure the game works, then make another. That way of an error pops up you know exactly what mod caused it and can reverse it easily.

That’s right. A misplaced or omitted comma at a remote point in the file triggers the disaster. And then,try to unravel the mystery of where the error is. It doesn’t even have a clear log or an understandable language error message, which one can follow to detect what the fault is and remedy it.Maybe in some much later version of MOD...Cheers.

@Tordo:

You didn't answered me about my question started with: "REMAINS"

Today is the release day for the new update. So excited. Hopefully the update will be out by the time I get home.
