Bugs prior to release 2.3 / Re: can't get rank "Senior Warrant Officer" (r29133)

« on: April 28, 2010, 01:06:06 pm »

I did some more testing with Edi's save. I tried to add the "killed_others 0" line to all ranks past WO, no succes. But with "killed_others 1" it looks like it's working, those WOs got promoted after the first mission. I have no idea whats really causing the bug, so i guess this isn't a fix, more like a workaround. Anyway, here is the file with the new lines, i don't have the slightest idea how to use the svn thingy yet

please, give save to us, both xml and lint files.

I don't even have lint files, only xml. And since i added those lines i also changed most of the mind and kills requirements cause i didn't like how long it took for my soldiers to level.
I played through the campaign twice and i never managed to get any of my soldiers to SWO even though they all met the requirements. This is my 3rd try and with those "killed_others" lines added my soldiers level properly, 4 of them reached senoir warrant officer so far.

So i'm not sure my save would work the same for you since my medals.ufo has slightly different values for each rank. I also did this like a week ago, and don't have any saves from then.

I had the same problem too so i just tried adding the "killed_others  2" line to all ranks in medals.ufo. It worked, both my WOs got promoted to SWOs after the next mission.

None of them had ever killed any civilians or friendlies so this one has to be a bug.
