Status: offline 		I was wondering what Im doing wrong with adding units to the game.

I dont have this version of the game only the older ones (i.e Pre matrix)

But I have figured out how to add units to east front and west front but every time I do it allways removes the Sturm panzer IV unit.

is there any thing I should know about adding units? (I found the Unit creator programe in the below link and have bee using that.)

This is the unit I want to add
P01230 6 7 8 35 50 25 10 5 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 5 74 P01215 5 2 131 0 3 5 44 6 45 5 0 0 0 Sturm Platoon , Strm Pltn ,

(note: this is a late war platoon equiped with STG-44s for reguler army units)

and this is the Sturm Panzer IV
P01025 4 3 9 50 0 0 40 20 28 2 4 1 9 0 1 30 16 P01025 6 33 16 1 8 13 43 7 45 5 16 4 4 StuPz IV 150mm Assault Guns , StuPz IV , Brummbär (Grizzly Bear)

whats intersting is that it shows up in the the weapon.pdx and platoon01.obx but dose not show up in the oob editer (infact I had to change the company01.oob file becuse it had a invalied unit -the Sturm panzer!)

I even tryed to create a new Sturm panzer to see if that would work (labled as P01098 in the OBX and PDX files) and that dose not work.


Could it be becuse Im using the orginal East Front II (and west front) and not the Matrixs version? and the unit creater program dose not work with this version?

Status: offline 		Not sure if you know, but you have to do you edits in the oob file, and then run that oob file in the encryption program. If you don't use the encryption, it won't work in the editor.

Edited Platoon file: platoon01.oob
In file: plato01.oob
Out file: plato01.obx
New Encrypted Platoon file: platoon01.obx

Status: offline 		Thats what iv'e done
Edit the unit in the oob file
run the file in the editer -
platoon1.oob
platoon1.obx
encrypt
eastfront II

and the same thing for the Weapons.pdt

then move the files into the base EF folder.
