Is there a mod that can control skills, decorations, and awards?
That is the one thing I miss the most about SH3, and I haven't been able to find a mod for SH4 that does it. Or can anyone tell me the files to change to do this?
Thanks, Dep |

Hi Deputy,
Regarding the medals, you can modify the medals received in: Documents\SH4\data\cfg\SaveGames\00000000\CareerTr ack.upc An example, but first of all remember always do this in port and with a backup. You finish your first mission and you are awarded the Iron Cross 1st Class. Obviously not correct because they should have decorated you first with 2nd Class. If you open the file CareerTrack.upc you will see something like this: All you have to do is change the code: Medal codes can be found at: German: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunters wolves of the pacific\Data\UPCDataGE\UPCCrewData\Medals.upc American: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunters wolves of the pacific\Data\UPCData\UPCCrewData\Medals.upc |

CapnScurvy has such a mod in the download area and I belive CaptainCox also has one there. There were copyright reasons Ubi couldn't use real medals in the game. We can do what we want because we're not selling anything!
You'll still get purple hearts for things not relevant to the real medal. But the mods do improve the situation greatly. I'd rather just not pay attention to medals--just like the real sailors!

I know it probably sounds a bit strange, but I enjoy awarding medals; decorating my crew at the end of a patrol.
Who knows what effect if any happens to the crew, but that isn't important to me. Oh well..... : ) Happy Hunting!

Agree 100%. It's a shame there isn't a mod like the one in SH3 that allows you to award medals and decorations. I know there was one medal in SH3 that was supposed to be awarded to the whole crew after the completion of one cruise. I forgot the name of it. Some kind of U-Boat qualification medal. There was a mod that allowed you to award that medal to everyone as well as every other medal and award. I made sure only the guys that got wounded actually received the wound badge. And most of my deck gun and AA crews all got a lot of medals because I used them a lot.

Actually at the end of a successful cruise you generally are given a collection of medals to award to crewmen as you see fit. I thought you were concerned about the nature of the medals being somewhat authentic.

First way: For example, you have three wounded sailors on the patrol but, when finished, the game does not give you any medals for the crew. What you have to do is open the file CareerTrack.upc and add the desired medal as many times as you want on the line "CrewMembersCurrentMedalsRepository" Save the .upc archive, load the game and give the three medals to the injured sailors. Second way: Open ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc (same folder as CareerTrack). Find the sailor you want to give the medal to. You'll find something like this: Go to "Medals=" code line and add whatever you want, for example: Many more changes related to the submarine and the crew can be made in this file but I have only got to modify the names of the sailors, their special abilities (put on, remove or change) and their coefficients (guns, watch, electric, etc.), all of it marked in bold.
