DP Problem

[stuart277]

Hi All
I have been working on a ship DP, with manual editing and Yusaku Homma's DP editor program.
The problem is that Gun 14 is gun 14 in the manual edit, but when I open it in DPed it shows up as deck_mid_16_1_sinker, and if 'overwrite' is pressed, it will overwrite the Manual edit.

; deck_mid_16_1_sinker
gunstation.14=0,-49,1,0.52,900,3.33,0.01,3800,5,40,1d1*25,-7.5,7.3,-14.5,0,0,-90,-90,90,85,-10,8.4

It is probably something simple that I have missed.

I have attached the DP file.

Cheers
Stuart

deck_mid_16_1_sinker

it should be a gun. you might be linked to the wrong part...

Hi Blood Hawk
I am not sure about what you mean by 'linked' or how to check it.
Can you elaborate?
Cheers

; deck_mid_16_1_sinker
gunstation.14=0,-49,1,0.52,900,3.33,0.01,3800,5,40,1d1*25,-7.5,7.3,-14.5,0,0,-90,-90,90,85,-10,8.4

after the ";" should be the gun name. you have a damage box or system name. also what part is -49.

I would look into those. without the whole DP I can't give a full answer.

Hi John
It all looks ok to me, but I have missed something.:dizzy:
DPedit will not alllow me to change 'deck_mid_16_1_sinker' to Gun 14.
The whole DP is in the the attachment in the first Post.
Thanks
Stuart

Hi Bloodhawk
The problem is still there, looks the same.

From the DP
; 25mm Gun13
gunstation.13=0,-48,1,0.52,900,3.33,0.01,3800,5,40,1d1*30,-6.9,7.8,21.9,0,0,-90,-180,180,85,-10,8.4
; deck_mid_16_sinker (should say 25mm Gun 14)
gunstation.14=0,-49,1,0.52,900,3.33,0.01,3800,5,40,1d1*30,-6.9,7.8,21.9,0,0,-90,-180,180,85,-10,8.4
; 25mm Gun15
gunstation.15=0,-50,1,0.52,900,3.33,0.01,3800,5,40,1d1*30,-6.9,7.8,21.9,0,0,-90,-180,180,85,-10,8.4

As I said, I cannot even change it in DPed, and if I do it manually, it still open shows as above in DPed.
I do delete the Bak file.

In reality, it means little to the model, I am just interested in why it happens.
I can upload the hand edited version.

Cheers

I wonder if there are too many parts...

[Blood_Hawk23]

alright I'll look again. It looks fine on my end. But I may have missed something.

OK I think I've got it.

I'm going to guess maybe a part is missing in the list or repeated with the same number...

Hi Bloodhawk
That works.:applause::applause:
It opens on DPed as needed.
Clearly, you have arranged all of the weaponry after the 'body parts'.
Do you know why this made the difference?
Too many parts?
Interesting, I wonder what the limit is, if there is one.
Anyway, onwards and upwards.
Thanks again
Stuart

Hi Allen
That was my first thought, but it all seemed OK, even for older eyes.
Still not too the bottom of it.
