Crew with correct rank

John W. Hamm · 12-13-07, 11:55 AM

I know that we have a great mod that allows us to have our officer and Chiefs to have officer rank insignias however if by using the mod myself I have found that the officer etc... do not wear the correct insignias most of the time, is this correct? or has there been a fix? the last time I read up on it there was no way to change this. With that being said and if that is correct I have found out how to change it to where they always wear the correct ranks in campaign or short missions so if you promote a crewman it will be reflected in his 3d image just like in SH3. and I have done so in my game. also I have found a way to add enlisted and chief ranks into the uniforms in this same manner as officers, not to mention, but on another note I have possibly found a way to promote your officers all the way to admiral if you wanted instead of just to Lt. where it presently stops. But that is taking some serious editing in the files, and also taking alot of time so the promotion above Lt. maybe a ways down the road. None these changes would effect any other files in the game thus they would be compatible with all mods but unfortunitly I hate to say ... you have to start a new campaign. At this point I have modded all the enlisted ranks into the game as well as Officer although they are all only short sleeve shirts with the exception of Ensign and Chief those are both long sleeved. also I used present day insignias instead of the blue WWII style for enlisted So I will have to change that all of these were done with the textured uniforms found in RFB (make sure everyone gets credit). Now I will be working on assing long sleve and no shirt crewman to the mod as well as doing the same for officers. oh yeah and change the enlisted insignias to the blue, and just maybe down the road I will will work more on the rank advancement aspect but that takes serious coding (but I think I got it cracked).

That sounds really promising!

Perhaps you should post it in the mods forum to get the attention of other modders.:hmm:

Well I think I have a 1.0 beta (so to speak I have used it with JSGME and found no bugs) Like I said in the previous post the insignia needs some work but atleast i have them all in blue now, I think I'm going to try to post a pic here, and eventually I will learn how to make it available for download (if anyone wants it)

Any Feed back would be great!

If this can be accomplished it would ROCK!

That looks really great! If you'd offer it as a download I would be the first to grab it!

Too bad I don't have the slightest idea about modding because otherwise I would try to help you.
