as long as you are aware, then there is no issue with "losing" renown.



one more thing, as long as you are opening up the code....
when promoting a NR to a Rate, the promotion mini-window displays with yellow text on a light background which makes the text difficult to read.
now, having said that, veterans of many careers can figure out the various rates, but it is difficult to see.
i would include a screenshot, but i have promotions available. (lol)

Hi Kaleun Marco,
found the error for the missing digit. A wrong line has slipped in the "Submanagement backgrounds.ini" and must be deleted.



Deactivate the mod in the SH_Menumerger, also in JSGME. Delete the line. Activate with JSGME and in SH_Menumerger.


I upload a corrected Version in the Downloads.

I do not know which graphics are included. With trying to change Textcolors in SH4 i get no results.
So that we have to change the used picture to a darker background.


To found that image i will provide you with a little Application i have written.
With this you can check all images in the Menu_1024_768.ini.





Whe you found the image tell me the subsection number.

I tried this mod and got it working without a hitch on the first try! No problems - more to do with your great craftsmanship than my being clever, lol! Thank you so much and congratulations on the completion of an excellent mod!
