Vietnam Specific OOBs

Alright, so as always the patch has caused an immediate setback in order to bring everything up to code. Last time I stalled on doing this for some time, and I'm not sure when my life will allow for it. The largest amount of work would likely go into trying to find files with space for the icons (though the new hovercraft icons are really cool!), but with things like the new hovercraft class I might want to look over various other issues before any future release.

Basically, there's logistical work to be done before any future release, and I'm not sure when it'll get done.

For those of you who are interested, I've posted a new replacement Lao OOB, with picklist, over at the GS Forum's thread linked to above. No readme is included, but this will be the new standard for the next Alpha release of the whole total conversion pack.

Feedback is always appreciated.

Are you going to release next Alpha this weekend/next week?

Not sure, but I got up the energy to do the picklist for the Lao OOB (and added some new units to make it more functional), so I saw no reason not to release that as it was basically the same.

Still not sure about picklists for the USN, USAF, and MACV/SOG OOBs either. They really don't have enough units to make that work. The Lao OOB can basically stand on its own as Red now, from 1/46 until 5/75. At some point in the future I might fix it to then become the Communist Lao OOB from 6/75 until 12/120.

Just a little update on my actual situation, my laptop LCD is kaput and going back to Dell today. They say It'll be back in 8 working days, but we'll see heh.

So basically, work is stalled at this point because of physical hardware issues. However, I'd say its probably safe to expect something end of July-beginning of August.

A new version of the Vietnam Specific OOB Pack is available here. No longer includes the USA and USMC OOBs (Now in the Total Conversion Pack only), but does include a modified S. Korean OOB and a further revised Thai OOB.

Looks good in generally

... Hmm as I installed those Total Conversion Pack zips into game, Winzip showed that picklists were somehow "damaged" (or someting like that). Could you check them again? Otherwise all other files seem to work ok.

I'll check the file with the picklists. Thanks for the feedback.

EDIT: Try it again.

Can you point me to a Vietnam era TO&E for the USMC?
Been searching the net for a while and no luck.

I actually haven't had much luck with the USMC in the way of TO&E information for infantry, armor, arty, and many support units. I was hoping I might be able to work with you on it for my pack actually hehe.

I've had the most luck adding things in my USMC OOB with regards to aircraft and helicopters. You'll notice in the change file for the USMC OOB, there are dramatically fewer changes then there are for the Army OOB.
