Editing the renown values (I forgot)

Paul Riley · 07-20-11, 07:55 AM

First,could someone just briefly describe the renown editing procedure,especially for patrol completion?

Now,I was wondering,before returning to base after my current 2nd patrol would I be able to edit the renown value for patrol completion to say 2000,which in addition to my rather small 500 or so renown at the moment this should give me enough to transfer into a VII (of any class!),the IIA is proving to be too limited to my style of play.I still cant understand why I chose a IIA in the first place.Dont get me wrong,its a nice little ride for a beginner,but the lack of a larger armament is a problem for aggressively minded captains in a sustained attacking scenario.Also I really miss my interception runs made at 17kts.

This wouldnt be considered cheating would it?

Cheers

To edit renown rewards you would need to edit the basic.cfg, personally I would not do that in the middle of a patrol. I would wait until I finished the patrol and then open the career files and add the desired extra renown to the "delta renown" value found there. I don't have access to my files ATM to say exactly where it's found but someone else here will know.

At any rate if you are talking about adding to the renown reward for completing a patrol and returning safely to base, that feature doesn't work and never has so there's no point in changing the value there. Only the renown rewards for reaching your assigned grid and patrolling it for 24 hours are actually awarded (if you meet the criteria). Those are found in the basic.cfg file, but again I would not mess with that file mid-patrol.

OK,thanks for that.Guess I will need a few more kills under my belt and do it the long (proper) way.Realistically though,if the commander was adept at his role he could transfer to any UBoat he wished,so long as it was seaworthy and availalbe (I may be wrong here too).I have 3 kills already from only 2 patrols,and am preparing for a 4th and final kill (hopefully) of the patrol.

I will remove renown from those,not very significant just to reach a grid square etc.Far more significant to bag at least 10.000 in a IIA

I think GWX removes them anyway.

I think you may be right.

I think you can modify the renown values for bigger boats. Changing the type IX to 500 renown points, for example. Then you could "buy" a bigger boat, if you wish to.
