Forensicman, do you recall if you included a means of awarding the crew medals? I'd very much like to manually award purple hearts to (formerly) wounded men, what since that medal seems downright broken in both vanilla and FOTRS.

It has been over seven years since Forensicman101 visited SubSim Tabris. His "mod" was a tablet of paper, pencil and dice, with a chart he had for the "chances". It's like adding a gameboard component to the software... As for crewman names, prior to the start of a new career, you can change the "Game \Data \UPCData \UPCCrewData \CrewMembers.upc" file. Once the career is started, you would be dealing with the Save folder, and have to find your most recent Save under "Documents \SH4 \cfg \SaveGames \XXXXXXXX", where the "X" represents a hexidecimal digit (0-9 and A-F), then under that folder, the "\ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc" file, looking for all of the headings of "UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment X.CrewMemberSlot X.CrewMember", where the "X" is a number representing a Slot for each CrewMember. You will find a "NameDisplayable=" line with each crewmember's name on it. You do have to be VERY careful editing anything in the Save folder though. The irritating part of editing the Save data is that the data is all lost in several "upgrade" situations. As for crew medals, there is not much that can be done about the way the game does those. You could add CapnScurvy's
U.S. Medals Fix II_Stock to a Stock game mix, and get quite a bit of it "fixed", but the game's "logic" for the process is not editable, and is sadly lacking. CapnScurvy also made a version of that for RFB and TMO. "Search" on his name from the Mods page on SubSim if you want the others.
