The rank.tbl is used to define different ranks that can be obtained during the game.

This table is one of the Modular Tables and can be extended with xxx-rnk.tbm

Notes

• Points gained in the game depend heavily on the difficulty level

Very Easy x 0.2

Easy x 0.4

Medium x 0.7

Hard x 1.0

Insane x 1.2

Format

• Table begins with [RANK NAMES]

FS2 Open, 23.2:

• Table can begin with #Ranks

Invidual ranks, each starting with $Name:

Table ends with #End

FS2 Open, 23.2:

• Ranks will be automatically sorted at parse based on point value

Ranks

$Name:

• Defines the name of the rank
• Syntax: String

$Points:

• Defines the number of points required to achieve the particular rank
• Syntax: Integer

$Bitmap:

• Defines the name of the bitmap used for the rank insignia
• Syntax: String

$Promotion Voice Base:

• Defines the base name of the voice file used for the promotion. In different parts of the campaign different voices are used; these are controlled by the debriefing persona. This is hard-coded for the main FreeSpace2 campaign but can be specified for user-made campaigns.
• Syntax: String

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

• If the value of Debriefing Persona for the mission has been set, that value plus an underscore plus the base filename becomes the filename FSO will search for.
• For example, if this value is set to rank_a.wav and the mission's Debriefing Persona value is 10, FSO will look for and play the file 10_rank_a.wav.

$Promotion Text:

• Defines the text displayed at the debriefing when the rank is achieved. Value is a reference for the translations found from tstrings.tbl. Is always followed by $end_multi_text.
• Syntax: XSTR( "String", Integer )

FS2 Open, 3.7.2: Starting with 3.7.1, multiple $Promotion Text fields may exist, each (except for the default) followed by its own Persona. The mission's Debriefing Persona Index controls which one is used.

+Persona:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

• Optional. Defines the persona associated with this text. If specified, this particular text will be chosen when the Debriefing Persona Index matches. The Debriefing Persona is a number set for a given mission using the campaign editor.
• Syntax: Integer
