Trivial Renown Tweak for SH3 Commander

[U-Bones]

This is not really a mod, but it certainly is a plug for
Sh3 Commander 2.5 !
JSGME !
NYGM !
GW 1.1 !

I love the ability to layer my preferences over whatever MODS I happen to have installed (using JSGME of course !).

Anyway, I really like the "zero renown with downtime" equipment cost implemented in NYGM, and decided to layer it over the GW 1.1 I am currently playing. Part way in I decided to use trivial costs instead of zero. Basically this allowed me to display the number of days the equipment would cost (as Renown), rather than simply guessing or watching the calendar flip.

I am also using this method for a crude (for now) displacement sanity layer. I am tired of sinking Large Tankers with 10x the mass of a Small but less than double the tonnage.

Here is the snippet for Trivial Renown, enjoy...

; Trivial Renown Mod for use with SH3 COmmander 2.5
; This mod will tweak basic.cfg to make equipment renown costs much lower.
;
; All renown costs used below are number of days to install
; Renown cost 28 also means 28 days in port (as offered below).
; This is not an attempt to dictate what the settings should be, change to suit.
; This method just makes it easy to always trump settings by other mods.

Another unique and individual way of using SH3Cmdr ro personalise your gameplay! Great stuff.

Anyway, just wait for the next SH3Cmdr release - it'll include a "Static settings.cfg" file which will let you "force" a value for *any* SH3 setting in *any* SH3 game file. It's kinda like the "Randomised events" feature but without the randomisation aspect (so it's more "user friendly").

[sell on]I know I am biased and all, but I'm really impressed with how SH3Cmdr opens up the game to any possibilities - limited only by the player's imagination. Any with the new "Static settings" feature, you'll have *full* control over *every* part of SH3, regardless of what mods you install.[/sell off]

Have you looked at "Ship displacements.cfg". I think you'll find it an easier way to tinker with ship displacements.

SH3 Commander, already a great program, is really expanding SH3 on all fronts.

The potential uses of the various .cfg tweaks (via the SH3 Commander) is like a supernova on the horizon. Can't wait to see how far this can go. The damage model work also being done is very, very cool.

Now if it were only easier to implement all this stuff into the game from a graphic interface...just click and play!

I am using "Ship displacement.cfg". Check your email

Also glad to hear you decided to implement the static change feature !
