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

[Pierre]

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?

There are three flag overwrites for the game menu interface (Battle.shp), the victory hexes (icon0095.shp) and the unit ID tags (icon0095.shp).
Apart from that, I overwrote a few official unit icons in R.C.0.6. Shortly, these are a few of the duplicated WZ501/BMP-1 icons in icon0099.shp and some BRDM-2s to continue the new SA-9 icons that was officially included in V4.0. All this is detailed in the icon list file I posted.
