Cold War 2020 Mod R.C.0.6 is out!

RecruitMonty said:Firstly, regarding Icon0104.shp (14 - 22), what are they?

You just can't check in the game, can you? Modder's syndrom, I know that...
On top of it, you're just going to blow all the surprises I have for the next version!

This one is the Brit version of the Löwe, unused for now. Roughly equivalent to the Löwe-1A2. The next one with the small turret is the Löwe IFV. I haven't integrated this one yet because I can't find a main weapon for it.

Same file but now 26 and 27, what weapons system is that mounted on that Leopard?

ADATS, same turret as on the Bradley. I think it isn't in use yet, planned for Canada and Switzerland.

Also, 56-61, what calibre gun is that? Why the different turret? Is it more of an Armoured Car version? - Good idea making the mortars mobile, by the by.

Turret is Cockerill CT-CV turret with CV105 gun, this one is in service in Belgium as replacement for the Scorpion. Real stuff, by the way, check on their website. But not really in service, that's just me.

Icon0105.shp (88-99), what kind of tank is that?

GDLS M-4 Terminator, 2010s US export tank, lighter and cheaper than the Block-3 mammoth and suited for second-line export and FMS. Coming soon in Egypt and (probably) Greece and Canada.

You know what, attached is the public version of the added icon list. Enjoy.

Found a weapon load out error on the Canadian OOB

Unit 710 - Kangaroo II IFV wpn 3 should be #144 AGM114L Longbow.

Hope it has caused no serious deaths.

Good Job Plasma!
Indeed, there are some highly altered files in this mod, but we were warned.

Here are some suggestions & my error report (I didn't check all oob's).

Obat02
------

076 SA-20B Gargoyle - Strangely distorted icon in Mobhack and no icon visible in game (shpedit bug?)
- SA-10B instead of SA-20 as weapon


077 HMMWV Trynka AT - Still uses the old HMMWV icon (in original game too)

224 152mm 2A61 FH - uses a HMMWV EFOGM icon

580 HMMWV Trynka - Still uses the old HMMWV icon (in original game too)

583 HMMWV Trynka - Still uses the old HMMWV icon (in original game too)

725 MB 290 GD - uses a 2S9 Nona icon (in original game too)

987 Tatrapan - uses icon 3760, 3761 MB type G with AT missile (in original game too)

988 Tatrapan - uses icon 3119, 3120 empty? (in original game too)

Obat44
-------

380 Wolf VB - wrong desert and winter icon

General
-------

Icon 146 M7 Priest - current Icons could be replaced by the better looking WinSP:WW2 icons

Icon 3375 - Toyota Hilux icon appears distorted in Mobhack

In scenario "Side Move on Schwarzenbeck", unit F0 (T-95 MBT) uses a green BMP-2 icon.


Hope this help

Regards,

Pierre

Thanks for the detailed error report. I knew there were some loose icons in Obat02 (Poland). The relevant ones can be corrected as follow:

***OFFICIAL CORRECTIVE***
OOB 0bat002 Poland, unit #224 "152mm 2A61 FH" should get icon #3051 instead of current #3039.
***OFFICIAL CORRECTIVE***
OOB 0bat002 Poland, unit #725 "MB 290 GD" should get icon #3753 instead of current #3690.
***OFFICIAL CORRECTIVE***
OOB 0bat002 Poland, unit #987 "Tatrapan" should get icon #4093 instead of current #3670.
***OFFICIAL CORRECTIVE***
OOB 0bat002 Poland, unit #988 "Tatrapan" should get icon #3322 instead of current #3119.
***OFFICIAL CORRECTIVE***

The HMMWV Trynka is not used in the Cold War Mod OOB, and has been changed to nation=0, which you would have noticed if you had bothered playing the OOB, you modder

Regarding distorted icons in MOBhack, as far as I have seen for now, they cause no problem in he game. I don't know what causes this bug in the first place.

All the errors will be corrected in the next issue.

I have a general modding question. Do the modified SHP files in your mod overwrite any graphics or are you just adding more vehicles. I understand the E German flag overwrites the one from Ukraine, but is there anything else?

Nah, Longbow, Longhorn, who cares...
Personally I'm a fan of unit #654, i.e. the motor rifle section with 85 Javelins, including 80 with HE warhead. Typos happen.

I'll PM you some more constructive comments on the Canadian OOB.

My PM is incoming.
