just follow this simpel step :

You have to be in base after your mission for this to work.

NOTE : This procedure involves editing a gamefile , create a backup copy of the file before proceeding.

* enter the "\sh3\data\cfg\carreers\" folder.

* select the name of the folder that is the same as the carreer that you are using.

* use a texteditor to edit the file "Patrols_0 cfg"

* scroll down to your last mission details and change the amount of "DeltaRenown"
that you got payed.

Her's a example : DeltaRenown=698.750000
DeltaRenown=200000.750000

*save the file and start the game and you can by so much that you want when it comes to upgrade your sub

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD GUNTING

Its not a big problem to use cheats in the game, in the beginning when i start to play i use it myself, but later i came to a point and conclued it wasnt any fun at all.
I think this it will happened to you some day...but the most importante its gain experience in the game and learn with you own mistakes and EXPERIENCES and tests, as for exemple: i conclued the best type of U-boat in the war (to reach the end of the war) its the type VII B, its fast, small, and dive in seconds) for another words you can use the infinite renow to test what the equipment its crucial to use and those wich its not necessary with out sufer any consequences in you career.
When you star a new career for real (with out using cheats) you will know all ready the U-boat you must choose and all the equipment you must upgrate...you only will put the things you need, and you wont wast any renow at all.
Thats what i think!

I can't understand why they are "yelling" at you, because I'm sure there are still people around who didn't know this, including me. So I thank you for the information.

The reason is that I think the renown system in SH3 stinks, it has nothing to do with reality. Uboat commanders didn't have to pay for upgrades I remember the good old Aces of the Deep, you were offered a bigger boat based on good results, which IS realistic. You were offered new improved equipment when available, only resulting in more time in port to install it. Also very realistic.

Anyway, I just want to get rid of it. And since I probably can't do that the other solution would be to put in a million renown, and I can upgrade and change boats when I want to do so

AOD also had 'points'. They never explained what they were there for, but you could see them after every patrol.

Either that or play the NYGM Tonnage War supermod. It does exactly what you want - no renown, automatic upgrades, the whole works.

Well it was informative to at least one, so his post is as good as any other in here. That said, people have to accept those comments too. After all the game is 3-4 years old...and it doesn't like Vista

Cheat websites? Never heard of them I really don't want to cheat. But when I started a new career in the canoe I skipped the naval academy, and only got 500 renown. You don't exactly get rich in GWX from the start, and I didn't want to jump around in a type II for two years before I could afford a VIIB, would have to start a new career.

Okay thanks, but very easy to change the numbers in that file, problem solved.

I run it on a Vista machine (32-bit) with few, if any, problems. The only times that I've had CTDs where when I accidently did one of the known SH 3 no-nos; saved while submerged, etc. or installed conflicting mods or installed a mod which had an error it.

I think that the premise of having to buy equipment upgrades is kind of flawed. It seems to me that boats would be retrofiited with the latest equipment when it became available. If I was to "redo" the game, you would only need renown to purchase a "better" boat, like in real life: successful commanders were often rewarded by being given command of larger boats.

As far as cheating goes I find that you only end up cheating yourself as you rob yourself of the sense that you've really accomplished something when you sink a really nice target. Sinking the Hood, etc. doesn't mean as much if you've played around with the settings to give yourself an advantage.
