You will have more than that one problem. From the SH3Cmdr User Guide:
Quote:
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.
Anyway, re "I modified my game so that I would start out as a Kapitanleutnant" I assume you mean you edited menu_en.txt and changed the rank labels? If so, then just rename the rank images in SH3Cmdr to match. For example, rename rank9.gif (KptLt image) to rank7.gif (Lt image) and so on.

BTW, the rank slide for KptLt is not interweaved rope.
