Don't like renown! [Archive] - SUBSIM Radio Room Forums

In GWX 3.0 you have 500 renown to start with. I don't like this.

Why not make it like NYGM? You start in 1943 with all what is available.

If I start a new patrol in GWX, I don't want to go to school again (I am 52 :hmmm:) ... thus my renown is only 500.

Let's say I want to start in 1943 ... there are a lot of gadgets that I cannot buy!?!

Or have someone made a mod for this stupid renown issue. :damn:

The other option would to be not charge anything
For the upgrades and make all up grades available
Right from the start of the war

Yes OK, (however I don't know how to do that), but that would be cheating ... right?

OK again, but is it like NYGM, it would be strange to have certain "gadgets" in 1939 sub IIA?

Or is this mod as it should be in RL?

Thanks guys! :salute:

He said if he wanted to start a new career in 1943 he would not be able to upgrade his sub........you cant alter the file you are talking about untill you have completed a patrol sad to say :up:

Renown: The reputation of a combatant based upon the virtues that others perceive in him from his word, thoughts and deeds.

Like they say, one has to earn it!

so thats why i had to make my mod :har:

Renown is not a shop or script where you buy anything. Bdu gave their best boats and crews to those who 'earned' the right and respect based on their experience and tonnage and by following orders. The Bdu had limited assets and obviously those assets went to the very best!

So, again unless I am wrong, one 'earns' their way up the ladder with 'renown'.

:salute:

Don't agree with you. If you are a new Kaleun and you are 28 years old in 1943, BdU would give you a U-Boat with the right specs, otherwise you would die immediately.

I suppose you never tried NYGM. The most difficult mod. But you (can) get a U-Boat with the specs of that specific year. There is no renown there is tonnage in NYGM.

Open the basic file in the Cfg folder and look down it every time
You see the word Renown change the following numbers to 0
That would do it they would still appear when they are suppose to :salute:

I don't understand, sorry :wah:

Examples:

FirstRankRenown=100
RenownStep=50; RENOWN, u-boat badge

[PROMOTIONS]
RenownStep0=500
RenownStep1=1000
RenownStep2=1500
RenownStep3=2000

Year0=1939
ForeTube00=0
ForeTube01=0
ForeTube02=0
ForeResIntern00=0
ForeResIntern01=0
Z01_00=0; IIA/1
A01_00=8
SuperCharger_00=-1
Batteries_00=1263
Hydrophone_00=1270
Radar_00=-1
RadarWarningReceiver_00=-1
Decoy_Launcher_00=-1
SonarCoatings_00=-1
RadarCoatings_00=-1
Renown0=0

etc. etc.

I don't know which one I should set to zero (0)?

SeaWolf U-57

08-11-09, 03:36 PM

Ah right after every item you want ie Subs the renown will show at the end of the years discription and also towers guns radar and so on
not the renown parts in the crew set-up

Edit..... in the above the IIA is already set to renown=0 (for the year 1939)

I modified the "price" list for everything to be 1 renown.I now just wonder how can i make the upgrades to be available 2-3 month later than normal to simulate mass production. Could anyone help ?

[TORPEDO_TYPE4];T III FaT II (G7e)
Idx=4
Year=1943 <<<< the year available
Month=3 <<<<<< the month Available

OK Thanks SeaWolf, so in fact I can use your mod and this will change the Basic.cfg file for all U-Boats.

In that case (using your mod), I don't have to earn renown everytime I start a new patrol ... right?

Thanks mate! :yep:

@ Rafael this answer was for BulSoldier my basic file also adds a lot of changes to the weapons layout of the subs so it may not be for you :hmmm:
but yes you can start anytime use any sub
and up-grade as you see fit :salute:

I understand, I can use your file or search my own basic.cfg file and look for "renown" and change it to 0.

Maybe a strange topic, but I like it (no renown), the way NYGM has done it. I fully understand that RENOWN is something as PappyCain wrote. However, my personal opinion is different concerning renown.

When my current patrol ends, I will use your mod and will see how things will develop! :yeah:

Another option is the one I use: GWX doesn't make you go through the whole Academy to get the 1500 renown. All you have to take is the first Navigation course and you're set.

On the other hand, I've never used renown at all. I just don't ever upgrade anything.:sunny:

Is that because you've never survived long enough to be offered one :hmmm:

Not necessary, you don't need any renown because you are always here online at subsim.com! :03:

BTW, is it possible to have at least a little bit when you start and change at the beginning the NavalAcademy.log ... or do you have to edit also another file?

The best way and least likely to mess up the CFG file, is to perform one patrol then on your return go to:

Patrols_0 CFG in C\MyDocuments\SH3\data\cfg\Careers and change the delta renown near the bottom to an amount of your choice.

Thanks Jim, but I am not the "wise guy" ... so let's say I do one patrol and go back to basis. All with SH3 Commander.

I edit the Patrols_0.cfg here in bold:

HullIntegrity=100.000000
DeltaRenown=0.000000
NbSaves=0
ChangedRank=No

Q.1) How it should been correctly done?

Q.2) And do I need to edit the NavalAcademy.log too?

Simply change the DeltaRenown (I have to 50,000 in your example above).

When you close the CFG it will ask you if you want to save the change....choose yes.

Leave the NavalAcademy alone.
