GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion Mod)

[ijnfleetadmiral]

Had to reinstall the game after it screwed up somehow, but thankfully I managed to save all my campaign files, so I picked up right where I left off.

Now my only problem is thus: I modified the .cfg files to give me quicker promotions. Korvettenkapitan should've come when I hit 3,500 renown; Fregattenkapitan when I hit 5,000. I now have over 5,600 renown and I'm still a Kapitanleutnant. I've modified all the files in the game I supposedly needed to modify, so I'm just wondering what gives.

Hve you made the necessary adjustments in the menu cfg file in SH3\Data?

[ijnfleetadmiral]

I modified both the en_menu file in the Data / Menu file and the Basic.cfg file in the Cfg folder. Just checked them both, and the changes I made are still there. Weird the promotions aren't coming.

The way renown works in the game is truly a mystery.

I can remember early careers where I got stuff even though it looked like I didn't have enough renown to have earned it according to the values in the basic.cfg... even though people told me where to look to see my "total" renown, that number still didn't match or exceed what appeared to be the required number. Nothing I could find matched or exceeded it, so I never could figure out how it was happening. Then there would be times where it looked like I should be getting something, but I wasn't.

And some things appear to be doled out based not on total renown to date, but on how much of a "step up" you made on the most recent patrol. Or maybe some combination of the two. There may be factors involved that are not part of the basic.cfg or any of the other files we're able to tinker with. That may be more the case with medals and awards, though. I've done a lot of edits to the values for medals, promotions, and the like, but I haven't played enough with them to see how it all pans out and whether or not it will work exactly like I think it will.

In the long run all you can do is tinker and see what happens.

Rats...figures I'd be the one whose game decides to be picky with promotions.

Oh well, at least the game was nice enough to FINALLY let me see the big ship I've been wanting to see; saw a Fiji-class CL with the last convoy I attacked.

The file Jimbuna is referring to is the one in your C:\\My Documents folder where your career information is stored.

[ijnfleetadmiral]

What's the file name? I've been through all the possibilities and see nothing pertaining to rank except lines in the file 'Patrols_0' that say 'ChangedRank' and the word 'No'. Is that what you guys are referring to?

Doublecheck WB's documentation for it, but I'm pretty sure Extras for the Wilhelmshaven campaign already includes the Q-ship mod and Lifeboats & Debris. If so you shouldn't need to enable them separately. Whether that's part of the problem, I don't know.

Also I'm not sure but I think Thomsen's Sound Pack may include a modded version of the Sh3.sdl file? And if I remember correctly Lifeboats & Debris also includes a (different) modded version of that file. If so, you are overwriting Thomsen's version of it by enabling L&D after it and that might be breaking Thomsen's mod. I don't use it myself so I can't say for sure, but if both those mods have an Sh3.sdl file I'm betting they are incompatible without some additional tinkering.
