Chevron Ranks with Veterancy Levels
ImperialKaskins worked on special Chevron Icons when you reach certain Veterancy Levels.
Initially this was supposed to be on the ImperialKaskins G5 Series maps only but we found a way to make this happen on all maps that have Veterancy enabled. Smile

The Chevron Icon models were created by ImperialKaskins, the coding was done by me.

Levels and Reward
Veterancy Level Experienced :: Bronze Chevron x1
Veterancy Level Corporal :: Bronze Chevron x2
Veterancy Level Sergeant :: Bronze Chevron x3
Veterancy Level Advanced :: Silver Chevron x1
Veterancy Level Vanguard :: Silver Chevron x2
Veterancy Level Veteran :: Silver Chevron x3
Veterancy Level Ensign :: Gold Chevron x1
Veterancy Level Elite :: Gold Chevron x2
Veterancy Level Lieutenant :: Gold Chevron x3
Veterancy Level Commando :: Golden Star
Veterancy Level Hero :: Golden Skull

Commando Stealthing is no more
I removed the stealth ability on Commando's, you can fairly easily get a Stealth Suit or Stealth Crate anyway.
It was also conflicting a little bit with the Chevron status's which is why i removed it initially lol. But anyway Smile

That's pretty neat. I saw something similar used in Apocolype Rising some time ago. Cool. Smile

Indeed, I wrote those veterancy scripts for AR about 6 years ago now and they're also used in TSR these days. We only have two rank levels though since that's what was present in the source material we're working from and creating all the upgraded weapon presets etc for each veterancy level is tedious work thus more than 2 levels would be prohibitively expensive in terms of setup and maintenance time.

Not a fan of them being permanant, they're annyoing to look it, I would prefer if they acted like the spree messages and disappeared after a few seconds, or were in part of the HUG instead of floating over my char. Smile
