Higher Ranks, Tested and Party Approved

Tessa · 04-01-08, 11:05 AM

After doing some testing and fiddling around finally found out how to successfully add extra ranks and get SHC and SHIII to accept them. With the stock (even GWX) promotion of ranks there's very little incentive to amass renknown other than to use it to buy upgrades or new ships. With the currently (screwed up) system of awarding commendations, hopefully this will spark some interest to actually try and create your career and retire as "The Man" i.e. Admiral (though sadly you don't get command of the flottille, but you would have the satisfaction of knowing you would have and give Bernard a proper court-martial

). Rather than include copies of the entire basic.cfg and en_menu files here are the parts that need to be changed:

In the basic.cfg, replace this text over what is currently there:

[PLAYER_RENOWN]
AcademyBonus=1000
RankLevel0=0; SCORE
RankLevel1=1499; SCORE
RankLevel2=7999; SCORE
RankLevel3=14999; SCORE
RankLevel4=21999; SCORE
RankLevel6=34999; SCORE
RankLevel7=54999; SCORE
RankLevel8=89999; SCORE
RankLevel9=143999; SCORE

The stock version only goes up to RankLevel3, so all the rest have been ammended. Because 175 was already in use there's no way of making Grossadmiral.

In the en_menu file replace the existing lines with the following:

170=Oberleutnant z. S.; Kapitänleutnant
171=Kapitänleutnant; Korvettenkapitän
172=Korvettenkapitän; Fregattenkapitän
173=Fregattenkapitän; Kapitän z. S.
174=Kapitän z. S.; Kommodore

175=Exit To Menu

176=Kommodore; Konteradmiral
177=Konteradmiral; Vizeadmiral
178=Vizeadmiral; Admiral
179=Admiral; Grossadmiral

Even with the barebone stock vanilla/GWX the program can be screwy in terms of awarding you higher ranks as you earn them. There's a few different ways of dealing with them if they come up; hopefully they won't. While I was testing these out everything went smooth; hopefully it'll be the same for everyone else once the changes are in their proper places.

Happy hunting
