Do you know how this is done?

And yes, I think that nations are hard-coded so that if you were looking to add another nation you'd have to sacrifice an existing one. Note that the "Green" and "Red" nations are easy immediate choices.

In theory, Belarus is what you'll get by using the "red" OOB against Poland or Ukraine. The names should fit more or less, and after 1990-91 the equipment will be broadly coherent (maybe add some captured Russian T-64s?).

More to the initial point, no nation can be added to the list, so yes, if you want to create another nation, you will have to sacrifice an existing one.
One thing cannot be changed though, that's the in-game country name and the start and end dates. These values are hard-coded and could possibly be changed only by hacking the .exe binary, at your own risk.

On the other hand, you can edit the .obf files (the Mobhack.ini file allows you to edit MOBHack's internal country list, which should be easier wen working on it), the ranks, names and the various flags can be extracted and replaced from some .lbm file in the 'graphics' folder.

Okay, so if can be done, but how do you do it?

how would you go about hacking the files to change the in-game name?

That's what I want to know. I pretty much know how to change everything but the in-game name and the flags. The flags I can pretty easily guess at. Is in-game name and country stats something that's hardcoded and can't be changed?

hard coded. As are which flags get shown on the various nation pick pages (e.g. for random battles, encyclopaedia).

Green and Red are provided for user modifications, though the batlocs (which are hardcoded) for these will provide some variations (as described in the GG).

Cheers
Andy

It would be possible to simply rename the nation you choose: you have to have the same number of characters though. I'm not sure if this works (as I have basically no idea how to program), but is SPMBT written in a specific language that uses lists or something like that? If you knew what code it was written in and had the relevant editor, could you rename nations with fewer or more characters in it? I'm thinking about doing some alterations myself so any response would be great

Martin

PS the SPCAMO team presumably can't release the source code? I'm assuming that you've got an agreement with SSI or whoever gave it to you not to release it? Just checking.
