snorkel with GWX 3

fisherstoys1 · 05-12-09, 03:56 PM

How come when I want to buy a snorkel I get the message that I do not have enough renown?

I do have the money but I get the message "Not Enough Renown."

Thanks Grant

Correct me if I am wrong but Renown means recognition and high acclaim, distinguished Kaleuns and boats received for meritorious service.

It is not a monied system to buy boats or equipment.

Acclaim and merits earned by proficiency gave preference to supplies and assets to those boats who earned it.

So why do folks keep referring to buying assets?

Am I confused and there was a money transfer? I kinds of doubt it but am open to be corrected.

In NYGM"a mod, upgrades are given when available plus three months, and no renown is needed for this.
This is the most reasonable solution to the problem, as it mimics what happens in real life.
Personally, I first removed the problem by changing the configuration for renown in my Kaleun's file in the SH3 saved game file. (Change the delta renown).
A more elegant, but more complicated, solution is to change all the renown requirements in the Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/data/cfg/main.cfg file to "O".
Once this is done you can get anything available when you want it.
Save the main.cfg file so if you have to reinstall, all you have to do is plug it in.

When I have a chance, I will post the file in the download section.

I dont think that removing the renown completely makes it more realistic. Someone should come up with a solution that is somewhere in between of having to use renown and completely removing it. As I understand it, supply of new parts and gadgets wasnt that good, especially during the later years of the war. Hence, kaleuns that had proven themselves got new stuff first, the 'newbies' had to fight over what was left.

You are right, of course. This should be quite easy to do by increasing the renown in the basic.cfg file as the war goes on, and using CMDR to insert the files into the game. If I have time, I may do this.

My preference is to remove the renown completely and add more time in port for the installation of the apparatus.
