Add 4th RenownStep for next Player Rank Level?

Yikes! Looks like nobody's posted to this thread in awhile, but here goes:

-Add Fregattenkapitän; before Kapitan on line 174 - got it.

-Add a 4h rank rank level to PLAYER RENOWN - got it.

But I'd still like to get an answer to Melnibonian / Chisum's query about adding a 4th RenownStep to PROMOTIONS:

Ok I suppose it's this:

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

And what you suggest ?
Also, must I add a "RenownStep4=" ?

So...how does a RenownStep work and should a 4th be added? Could it hurt?

Thanks for your help.

Sweet!
tbh i thought it odd you start as a LT.z.s and can get oberlt z s' as part of your crew. surely during tense situations they'd just order you to stop?!
i'll change it tonight methinks oblt z s onwards ;)

don't see why it wouldn't work, although you'd have to find the file that relates to renownseps and possible add another line to that script also.

No a 4th step is not necessary. You will still get the ranks without it as in the normal game. If you add a 4th one I have no idea if things go wrong. The only way to find out is to try it.

Will SH3Commander Recognize any change we make? :hmmm:

Yes and No; if the changes are consistent with the files in SH3, it will. If the changes are not (say you make yourself an admiral) it won't.

I want to start my career at a rank higher than Leutnant (rank bump). Will SH3 Commander allow me?
SH3 Commander reads whatever ranks are in SH3. However, when creating a Commander’s pre-SH3 history, SH3 Commander assumes the starting rank will be as SH3 originally set it. It needs to do this for maximum compatibility. Thus, any “rank bumping", that is, changing your starting rank to anything higher than the SH3 default, will create gaps between your pre-SH3 history and your SH3 career. This will be evident only if you generate Personnel Files, where you will notice missing promotions. You can alleviate this somewhat by adjusting the pre-SH3 rank labels in SH3Cmdr_*.txt, or simply ensuring that you always start careers at the default rank of Leutnant.

thanks for your replies, everyone -- guess I'll leave out a 4th RenownStep since I don't know what it does. I tweaked the other two CFG files, so I have a shot at Fregattenkapitän now (and theoretically Kapitan z.S. since it's listed in the menu) Hmmm...All I have to do is save my reknown... and survive the war!

Cheers,
