=======================
==== BuPers Mod Beta 3 ====
=======================

Here is the link to the third Beta version.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/90510...Beta_3.7z/file

This should be last beta before version 1.0 getting uploaded to the files here if there are no issues reported.

Beta 3:

1. This version adds support through the "menu_1024_768.ini" file by modifying various aspects of the "look" for the game.
2. Fonts changed over game-wide to the "typewriter" style found throughout the sim in various places. This is similar to the font style found in older versions of SH such as SH3.
3. Font for the awards screen in the captain's office also changed to look more "presentable" by activating and using the default "Trajan Pro" font found in the game.
4. Installation is PRIOR to any of Jimimadrid's mods since his mods modify specific lines of the "ini" file. This is something I'm still trying to teach myself but haven't really been able to do just yet. Just use JSGME to install this mod before any of his and you should be fine.
5. All previous changes incorporated into this version.

Beta 2:

1. Ranks modified in the "menu.txt" file. They are now:
Apprentice Seaman (AS)
Seaman 2nd Class (S2C)
Seaman 1st Class (S1C)
Petty Officer 3rd Class (PO3C)
Petty Officer 2nd Class (PO2C)
Petty Officer 1st Class (PO1C)
Chief Petty Officer (CPO)
Warrant Officer (WO)
Commissioned Warrant Officer (CWO)
Ensign (ENS)
Lieutenant JG (LTJG)
Lieutenant (LT)
2. Rank images modified in the "CrewSystemsManagement.dds" file. (thanks to Jimimadrid for his help!)
3. Rates "badges" added to the "CrewSystems Management.dds" file. (thanks to Jimimadrid for his help!)
4. Player rank descriptions improved in the "menu.txt" file.
5. Medal award certificate improved in the "menu.txt" file.
6. Changed (6) Special Abilities that best reflected crew aboard a US sub in WW2 in the "SpecialAbilities.upc" file so that you now have them as crew members as default.
7. Added positions to the "CrewMembers.upc" file to reflect the changes in the Special Abilities. Player will now have Pharmacist's Mates, Diving Officers, etc.
8. ALL PLAYABLE Fleet Boats and both S-Boats now have "NSS" files that include the new positions.
9. Rank experience adjusted so that it's approximately requiring anywhere between 20% and 55% increase from one rank to another in order to promote. LT cap is still at 20,000, but ENS -- for example -- is now at 9,750 experience points.
10. Automatic promotions from Apprentice Seaman to Seaman 1st Class, manual (in-base) promotion to Petty Officer 3rd Class (along with rating distribution), automatic promotion from PO3C to PO1C, manual from PO1C to Chief Petty Officer, automatic again from CPO to Warrant Officer, manual promotion to Commissioned Warrant Officer, and finally automatic promotions from CWO up to LT.

Updates to the "beta" will be here on this post.
