So More Renown That You Possible Want!




:p Hi everyone!

Here's a simpel instructions how to do your own choice regarding more renown.
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

Those of us who have been around for awhile have known about that for a long time. The question for me is why would anyone want to do that? I never spend any renown on anything.

That would be cool! But that would mean that it's like bribing BdU and OKM of giving you everything what you desired!

It's cooler if you earned the upgrades. It's more gratifying!

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!

And right you are to mention it. I often find people 'discovering' things or places for the first time, and I always think "SO? I knew about that ages ago!", forgetting that every post gets lost down the list with time. This is especially true of the Online Fleet Submarine Manual http://www.maritime.org/fleetsub/ ; every couple of months somebody posts a link with "Look what I found! Aren't you glad I found this for you?"

Discovering things here is like discovering sex - every generation thinks they invented it themselves, not realizing that the previous generation has known about it since THEY discovered it; and the older generation thinks "What a bunch of morons - doesn't everybody know that?"

You just keep right on finding out things, and I'll keep joking about it...and I'll be wrong again.

SH3 is a single player game. "cheating" is a nebulous term at best in such games.

As a method to experiment with "what if" scenarios, I don't see anything wrong with modifying the files.

It is only if you are in competition with others could this "unfair" advantage be considered "cheating"

Is it cheating if you set your realism to 10%? No, it is just playing the game at a different level. Same with modifying the files. Not cheating, just playing the game at a different level.

Now, saying that, I also have to say that if you do modify the files, you can't compare your career with someone who has not modified the files. This is the same as someone who plays stock SH3 and one who plays SH3 with all the cooleo mods - really can't compare careers unless each player is playing the game at the same level.

Knowing or not...its nice to share, and get worried about the others, specialy help them with out ask nothing in return..."spirit of corps".

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
