Historical Crew Conversion

Draka · 11-12-09, 07:53 PM

OK, so I've getting into the whole historical thing - just joined WaW, and been assigned a Uboot. U442. Sooooo - I go online and lo and behold I find a crew roster of her on her only patrol (sunk first time out - I REALLY hope I do better!). Now comes the hard part - is there a guide somewhere, or a neat tool to edit my crew roster so as to make it match the names and ranks of the original crew? Once I do that I can move them around so as to match duty stations as much as possible.

Can't help you but it's a good question. At the SHA link below there may be photos of the dub and crew.

With SH3 Commander you can adjust ranks, and I believe rename crew members.

Look for me over there; Heinrich Gollnitz U-657. Wait until you have to update your KTB (war patrol report) really in depth.

Good luck U-442, it's friggin hell out there

OK, what I am asking for is a way to display the actual rank of the crewman as opposed to the generic ranks used by the game. IOW, Krösbacher Ludwig is listed as a Funkmaat or Signals PO. So in game terms he is a Bootsman with a specialty of Signals - but I would like the screens to show the actual rank while maintaining the game information in the background.

Can do?

OK - here is a typical entry in the Crew_Career_xx.cfg file:

[CREW_MEMBER_0]
Name=Johannes Leinart
Index=28
NrComp=0
Type=2
Grad=7
Renown=400.000000
Patrols=1
Morale=0.800000
Fatigue=0.000000
HealthStatus=0
WasWounded=No
HitPoints=15.000000
Experience=401.000000
Rank=7
NrQual=3
SpecialAbility=0
MedalsInx0=-1
MedalsInx1=-1
MedalsInx2=-1
MedalsInx3=-1
MedalsInx4=-1
MedalsInx5=-1
MedalsInx6=-1
MedalsInx7=-1
MedalsInx8=-1
HeadIdx=2
HeadTgaIdx=0
BodyIdx=0
BodyTgaIdx=2
HasHelmet=No
HelmetIdx=0
HelmetTgaIdx=0
VoiceIdx=8
Prom=No
Medal0=Yes
Qual0=Yes
Medal1=No
Qual1=Yes
Medal2=No
Qual2=Yes
Medal3=No
Qual3=Yes
Medal4=No
Qual4=Yes
Medal5=No
Qual5=Yes
Medal6=Yes
Qual6=Yes
Medal7=Yes
Qual7=Yes
Medal8=No
Qual8=Yes
Qualification0=0
Qualification1=1
Qualification2=8

So far I have figured out that:
Type = 0 (Rating), 1 (PO) or 3 (Officer) - he is an Officer
Renown and Patrols are obvious
Experience is the amount earned towards the next promotion
He is a Leutnent.z.S. so somehow the Grad and Rank should show that
Qualification is:
0 Watchman
1 Gunner
2 Flak Gunner
3 Radioman
4 Helmsman
5 Machinist
6 Torpedoman
7 Medic
8 Repair

So he has Watchman, Gunner, Repair

Anyone disected any of the rest?

I know there is plenty of info on this around. I don't have time to fetch the links for you, but you can find them here.
