Confusion about leader rank in editor

[scorpio_rocks]

Unsure where you are "typing numbers" to "get different ranks"...

Each nations ranks are held in a text file in the ...\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPMBT\Game Data\Ranks folder. The one for Red (OOB43) is Rnk43.dat.
If you want British ranks the easiest way (after taking a backup) would be to rename a copy of the British rank table (Rnk07.dat) to that for Red (Rnk43.dat).

If you are using Scenhack to change the rank of a formation leader within a scenario then there are 11 ranks in game from "private" at 1 to "Brigadier (General)" at 11. If unsure what rank is where, simply open the relevant Rnk??.dat file to see the 11 ranks listed from 1 to 11 ie using UK Rnk07.dat:

Private
L/Cpl
Corporal
Sergeant
2/Lt
1/Lt
Captain
Major
Lt/Col
Colonel
Brig.

Hope this helps
