obat46 Austria

[Suhiir]

I'll emphasize what shahdi said.

Unless you're essentially rebuilding the OOB (due to changes/corrections - this will require people to download your revised OOB) you're FAR better off just using the editor and changing whatever is needed on Default OOB units.

If you need specific formations for a scenario as shahadi said just create them in a modified alternative OOB (never EVER mess with the Default OOBs) using currently empty formations (as said it's best to put them in one place starting at 8-900 so you can find them easily). You can then buy those formations for your scenario, and it makes no difference what-so-ever to players as formations are only used when purchasing stuff (as a player or the AI) for a battle/scenario/campaign.

Keep in mind that weapons data and ammo loads (particularly for small arms) are in most cases "standardized" throughout the game so real world data may well differ. For instance; most 7.62mm "battle" rifles have a range of 10, any "assault" rifle (5.56mm for instance) has a range of 8.

I'm moving the rest of my comments to Campaigns, Scenarios & Maps forum.

Thanks for all the input!

I agree, that for scenario design it is better to just use the unit editor.


My goal in fact is to update the OOB itself.

When I first found this game some years ago I was thrilled with the very well researched country databases. Even small countries liky my Austria were pretty well represented.

By now I noticed some differences from the game to the real world and I wanted to help updating the stock OOB for future patches.

I know that there's a development pause right now and that the next patch will take it's time, but still I hope my research (and prepared OOB) will be taken into account.

Guys, esp. KAreil, hold on...!

I've been AWOL for a while but am now back, getting the game running again with the latest patch. Some years back I've been working on a complete overhaul of the Austrian OOB together with some other users (Siddhi, Plasmakrab...).

I still have it and, spare time permitting, as soon as I got it running again on v8.0(R), I'll post it here and you can take a look at it and feel free to improve it!

You'll be delighted to see it is very detailed - we included Jagdkampf units (not to be confused with Jagdkommando, for those of you who take serious interest...) units, for example, airmobile JgB25, 'Garde', even 'Ehrengarde', of course mountain infantry, all kinds of bunkers and lots of other little things, pack horses and whatnot... - it's definitely something for cold war lovers!

The only problem I reckon could be with the .lbms - I just copied them from my old version to the newest installation, so they're all there but as we included lots of new, nice authentic .lbms I'd have to look them up and include them with the patch...

Except of the added headache of the deep defense cuts, the Jagdpanzer Kürassier tank destroyers and the Saurer tracked armored vehicles were already on my work list for an end date change. And I had only basic information on what Hungary got out of this situation which I'll have to rebuild since my last computer crash. Hopefully these are somewhat in order...
