Editing the renown values (I forgot)

Obltn Strand · 07-20-11, 01:09 PM

One good way is to simply award yourself the extra renown to buy larger sub.

Go to data\cfg\Careers\commanders name\ folder and open notepad file Patrols_0 and change DeltaRenown= to prefferred value of renown needed.

The obvious (apparently not) and far easier method.

Can this be done mid-patrol with no problems?,or should it be set after the patrol?

I never tried it during patrol. Always on port and SHCmdr rolled back as with all other tweaking.

At patrols end or you will corrupt your career/patrol file.

The method I use is to set all the renown values for upgrades and personnel in the basic config file to zero. I do not change the time available however. When I get an upgrade, I allow three months in port to install.
I then use renown to track my progress in the war.
I think this is the way that the NYGM mod does it, and I feel it is more realistic.

I presently have 768 renown,and need 2500 for the VII,this obviously is a total of 3200 rounded up.How would I input this in the .cfg file,would it be:

3200.000000 <--- I notice there are 6 decimal places after the decimal point.

Also,I have completed 2 patrols so naturally I would edit the patrol 2 files?

Thanks a lot

So how does one edit the starting renown when one is ready to start a new campaign for SH4 U-Boat Missions? Be advised as I do not want to change the renown value per tonnage in-game, I just want a super high starting renown. I tried changing the starting renown in CareerStart.upc, but it will not open with Notepad! Not that I know what I'm doing.
