US Army Rank Names

Description
TL;DR- i added a mod to automate a rank renaming based on nTex rank icons mod.
recruit->private->private first class->corporal->sergeant->staff sergeant->sergeant first class->first sergeant->sergeant major
(obviously, it's a bit wonky because there's no single chevron/arc icon, nor sgt maj. but, whatever. it's close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades)

The nTex rank icons (not nTex 2...doesn't work well with LWperkpack), i believe is the only attempt so far to replace the vanilla rank icons. Do correct me if i'm wrong.
The rookie doesn't have an icon, and that's fine. Recruits in the armed forces of the world typically don't have anything resembling a chevron anyways.
Here's the actual code of the mod (dirt simple change really...amazed it worked)
;out with the old [X2ExperienceConfig] -RankNames[0]="Rookie" -RankNames[1]="Squaddie" -RankNames[2]="Corporal" -RankNames[3]="Sergeant" -RankNames[4]="Lieutenant" -RankNames[5]="Captain" -RankNames[6]="Major" -RankNames[7]="Colonel" -RankNames[8]="Brigadier" -ShortNames[0]="Rk." -ShortNames[1]="Sq." -ShortNames[2]="Cpl." -ShortNames[3]="Sgt." -ShortNames[4]="Lt." -ShortNames[5]="Cpt." -ShortNames[6]="Maj." -ShortNames[7]="Col." -ShortNames[8]="Brig." ;in with the new [X2ExperienceConfig] +RankNames[0]="Recruit" +RankNames[1]="Private" +RankNames[2]="Private 1st Class" +RankNames[3]="Corporal" +RankNames[4]="Sergeant" +RankNames[5]="Staff Sergeant" +RankNames[6]="Sergeant 1st Class" +RankNames[7]="First Sergeant" +RankNames[8]="Sergeant Major" +ShortNames[0]="Pv1." +ShortNames[1]="Pv2." +ShortNames[2]="Pfc." +ShortNames[3]="Cpl." +ShortNames[4]="Sgt." +ShortNames[5]="SSg." +ShortNames[6]="Sfc." +ShortNames[7]="1Sg." +ShortNames[8]="SgM."

My end goal is to update this to the point where i have my own icons to better match Lance Corporal and Sergeant Major. That would be cool, but it'll take a long time

sadly, due to the number of critical bugs, i have unsubscribed from LWleaderpack, and will not be attempting to integrate officer ranks and/or icons for the foreseeable future. It's got 125k subscribers, so if alot of folk say the AWC slot for training doesn't get stuck then i'll reconsider. maybe.

This works perfectly with the cold war armors mod. Thanks man

@Macelharen I ride pretty good. 😂🤣 That said, it'd be great to see the Chevrons incorporated on uniforms or at least BDU's

you should do flags that go on the back of the armor, that would look cool.

"it" is just semantics. literally names is all i change, bro
Zacharius Sneed 28 Aug, 2017 @ 3:30pm 
does it go on the flag slot for the armors however? where does it go.
macelharen  [author] 27 Aug, 2017 @ 7:36pm 
that would be an emblem, mate. hmmm...pretty sure noone's done it yet.

does this like go on the back of armors, or can I put it on uniforms?

true, but looking at unending lines can be a lot more mind numbing than other methods of modding like say corsix for dawn of war/ company of heroes

can't believe it took me all afternoon to fix both mods. it's only a damned *.int file when you boil it down. lol
