Renaming Crew Members?
 
I originally posted this in the main forum, and they advised me to repost here.

Thanks!

Any help would be appreciated.

*Bump*

Surely someone must know something about this, or at least be able to direct me to a relevant thread :hmm:

Never done this but if you look in
C:\Users\WHATEVER YOU CALL IT\Documents\SH4\data\cfg\SaveGames\00000009\UPCIn itial


"00000009" being my last saved game

And open "ActiveUserPlayerUnits.UPC"
using Notepad

You will see stuff like
Quote:

[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 1.CrewMemberSlot 3.CrewMember]
ID=POTorp
NameDisplayable=Charles Zabriskie
CrewMemberNameIDLinks=NormalUSNames,CommonUSNames
DateOfBirth=1913-12-14 00:00:00
Its a bit tedious to go through this but I guess changing the name here will also change it in game. And dont forget to save when closing ;)

There is also a .UPC file here
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\UPCData\UPCCrewData
Called "CrewMembersNames.UPC"

Again open with Notepad and take a look...THERE ARE A LOT OF NAMES THERE!!!!!

The game uses these names and throws them around using one first name combined with one surname, and the next time you start a new career it will randomly find new names based on all the combos in that "CrewMembersNames.UPC"

I think your best bet is the 1st method I wrote to start with.
