New OOB for Finland... (OBSOLETE THREAD)

[Mobhack]

Colour LBM are not an option for encyclpaedia entries. The palette is wrong, and so you will get "swimming" effects if any of the pallete entries use the same entries as the game uses for its smoke etc. colour cycling, if brought up during a game screen.

Any LBM to be used for the game therefore must use the correct B&W palette.

Colour LBM are only used for the intro screens etc outside the game map screens itself, i.e where the palette is not in the process of being cycled for smoke, water etc effects. Those LBM are a fixed set (hint - the ones in there that are already in colour .

Yepp, I've noticed. When the job is done it will have B&W pictures... And hopefully a bit better ones too

Nice Pics! You have the correct picture for the Finnish AMOS there too and many others, Good work.

While studying the OOB I noticed that the SA-3 SAM appears to use a T-55 hull whit a SA-3 turret, however the unit is classed as Areal SAM and not SP SAM so it just shows the T-55 hull whit crew around it ingame (looks weird). Anyway this SAM is not an SP version so it should just have the regular icon. This is something that is in the official OOB too.

Hey Zipuli! I haven´t downloaded your oob yet and haven´t seen anything on it. If you haven´t done it yet, correct the finnish Leo 2A4 armor ratings to the WG oob armors. Last time I checked they were different.

I just changed the icon to #2900

~95% done... I've had good feedback from testers. I will still add some text files to explain the formations a bit and also some for the units... pics and the OOB itself are done. I think it will take a week before I can post it here! I can see both of you Finland lovers shaking eagerly !
After the release I'll shortly upload some scenarios based on the OOB.

Only problem is that I have no idea how to do a picklist or time to teach myself to do it, so when used against AI it may buy some weird stuff. In test games I've run the AI forces have been OK, but propably it's just luck.

Maybe someone can do that later???

I have used colour .lbms for some OOB mods and have not had this problem.

Hi Zipuli, I checked your OOB and noticed that where are F-18 Hornets disappeared (at least 2006)? I found them from Encyclopedia but not in OOB itself... Only Hawk was there in Strike Element. Could you fix it?
