I'm already aware of this, editing the files in the Careers folder is how I already do it to override the game's tendency to give me the u-boat badge earlier than would be historically appropriate.

I have a line in my basic.cfg showing SCORE requirements for Medal7 (u-boat badge), I am inquiring about editing (or perhaps removing entirely) that line in order to prevent the game from ever awarding the badge at all.

To my knowledge that particular medal (medal7) was never in the basic.cfg file, and even when I tried adding it the game ignored the settings. Unforunately the only variables regarding medals that you can modify are the ones that are already there from the original install. Adding the others has never yielded any kind of success, or changing the values in the medals.cfg file either.

Ok , I am sorry to say but I really can't make this thing with the additional ranks work.
I have downloaded the mod and enable it plus I changed the basic.cfg file.
Result : Game crashed completely. I had to reinstall it.

Could somebody please instruct me how to do it PLEASE?

Thank you in advance.

Edit : I think I found something in another thread here. I will try it.

Update.

I am posting here because I don't want to make a new thread about the same issue.

Now , after installing the extra ranks and editing the .cfg files I managed to get demoted from Kptltnt to Oberltnt z. S. and promoted bacK to Kptlnt again and then nothing.

Any help will be mostly welcome.
Thank you all.

The two may not be connected. Have you spent renown on anything lately? It is a well-known problem with the way SH3 works that a certain amount of renown is required to attain a rank and that renown must be retained to keep your rank.

Yes . I have used renown to uograde my sensors. I will stop upgrading to see what will happen.
Thank you Sailor Steve.

No problem. I hope that was all it was. :sunny:

I reckon your right but if not he's got one seriously screwed up installation :doh:
