Default Renown and Realism

I was flipping through the Sh3 manual the other night (trying to find port info for the flotillas), and I came across something saying that the lower the realism, the lower the renown you recieve for sinkings and such. Personally, I find this fairly annoying, and am looking to modify this to remove it.

Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

I dont know how to change this, but I play at 58% realism and I have no problems with renown, actually, I have too much renown, but that's because U53 is one bad Uboat.

I believe you can adjust the basic.cfg to whatever renown you like. Work it out with whatever your realism setting is, so as it processes your renown at 100%.

Would you have an idea where it would be? I looked through there but didnt find anything that would hint at renown.

If you've not already got it, you'll find a link to the GWX renown here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...t=renown+raduz

Thanks for the link Nerazzuri, I printed it out and was able to figure out where the multipliers for renown based on realism are stored thanks to patrol records with SH3Commander. If this works, I'll post a fix tomorrow.

Its not so much that I have a problem, its more that I dont seem to be getting enough considering what I've sunk. A few patrols ago, I sunk a small merchant, a tramp steamer, a passenger liner, 2 large cargos, a large merchant, and a large tanker for a total of 66,538 tons. I think I only got about 150-200 renown for that. Patrol after that, I sunk an Anson class BB. 100 renown. See my point here?

Also, I just flipped through the manual again, and it seems I was wrong about it being there. It would be in the community manual then, I'll see if I can dig up a link to it.

I did look at that, but works well with my fix, is that its a one time thing. For instance, right now I play with auto-targeting. If I were to turn it on later, then the realism percent wouldnt accurately reflect what is activated.

All you do is change the modifiers for renown once, and no matter what the setting is, you'll recieve full renown for your sinking. Provided it works of course. I havent had the opportunity to test against a merchant, because I'm getting DC'd at the moment.

I meant to mention earlier, the correct path is:

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWX 2\data\Cfg.........Gameplay Settings

(Ensure everything adds up to 100)

Sorry about that Kaleuns
