I think in GWX promotions are awarded based on renown, not tonnage.
[PLAYER_RENOWN] AcademyBonus=1000 RankLevel0=0; SCORE RankLevel1=1499; SCORE RankLevel2=7999; SCORE If I'm reading that right (from the basic.cfg), the second promotion to Kptlt (RankLevel2) requires a much larger jump in renown than the initial promotion to Oblt. Unless you are sinking a large number of high renown ships in a very short period of time, it's going to take a lot longer to get there. |

How do I lower the tonnage for promotion from OLzS to KL from 7999 to, say, 3000?

But again, I'm pretty sure that where it says SCORE, it refers to renown and not to tonnage. They are two different things. Renown is awarded based on the class of ship you sink, not its GRT. For instance, sinking a tugboat may give you a bit more tonnage (~1100) than a Flower class corvette (~950) but you'll only get one fourth the renown for it (30 points vs 120). At any rate, as far as I know that section of the basic.cfg under [PLAYER_RENOWN] where it lists the rank levels is what controls the requirements for promotion. Edit the number down, promotions come easier. Edit them up, and promotions take longer. |

Saweet...thanks! And this won't screw up GWX, right? If it doesn't, KzS, here comes Kurt Hossel!

But make sure you make a backup copy of your existing basic.cfg and save it somewhere safe! Can't stress that too much. That way if something does go wrong, you can quickly swap the backup copy back in until you figure it out. |

Did that...you're right, you can't stress that enough! Now to find the mod to add the flag ranks!

New question: Can I install SH3 Commander now that I've installed GWX? It won't screw anything up will it?

Commander is a standalone program that works with any version of the game, and it will be installed in a directory all its own on your hard drive. Any changes it makes to the game are controlled by you through the Commander interface and will only happen when you launch the game using Commander. And if you choose Auto Rollback, they'll be undone as soon as you exit the game. If you are going to use it with GWX though make sure you get the config files for Commander + GWX3 and install them as well. You will need them to have full functionality for Commander 3.2 and GWX3 Gold together. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1421 |

Weird...when I first loaded SH3 Commander just now, it showed my rank title in German, as it usually does when I load the game. Then when I loaded the game for the first time using GWX and SH3 Commander, the ranks all reverted back to English titles. Then when I looked at the .cfg files, I found that the additional ranks and any changes I made to get higher rank faster was reversed. Any idea what happened or how to get the English ranks back to German?

Doesn't give me that option in the SH3 Commander tabs.

Tell me if I'm right here in interpreting the Basic.cfg file lines (the renown numbers were changed by me):
RankLevel0=500; SCORE (Leutnant zur See; the rank you begin with) RankLevel1=1500; SCORE (Oberleutnant zur See) RankLevel2=2500; SCORE (Kapitanleutnant) RankLevel3=3500; SCORE (Korvettenkapitan) RankLevel4=5000; SCORE (Fregattenkapitan) Now, I've got over 4,000 renown...shouldn't I have received a promotion to Korvettenkapitan by now? How do I get KL Hossel his so-richly-deserved promotion? What file do I need to edit? -Matt

IIRC it is not that simple, there is at least one other section that requires changing but I'm at work atm and therefore can't check the file for you.
