I've created a generic ammo dump facility, filled with munitions, that I want to copy to various facilities. When I import/export the ammo dump, the magazine stores filled are not copied across. Just the ammo dumps themselves are copied. Not the stores. (The filled ammo dump is saved in the .scen file so all the work is not lost. Cut and paste in the text editor I suppose?)

NOPE. Cannot edit the scenario file because the data is compressed.

Will this be the same for an airfield? I fill a generic airfield full of aircraft to import/export but the aircraft do not copy with the export?

Not going to work either. Just the facility is copied in the export, not the content.

Thanks Sunburn, Delta file. Not familiar with this.

Delta creates an .ini file with correct entries. Learning to work with this format for scenario building. It works as delta. As far as applying it to other dumps in different scenarios? I see the complication.

Correct. The Import/Export function instantiates units in their DB-pristine. If you want to preserve your customizations you can export them to a delta file (using the SBR) and then re-apply them after import.

Thanks!

Do airplanes work though? I'm pretty sure when I import that Vinson carrier battle group it comes loaded with planes.

The planes should load via the .scen import, it is the magazine load out .ini file that is the issue and how it is applied to various .scen files. I will be investigating this further next weekend. (Long week-end, Melbourne Cup Horse Race! So I should get a bit done.)

Still have not solved the issue. Two days to go...

The horses have not run yet but the ability to import magazine loud-outs has. The ammo supplies exported to file is base specific by the fact of GUID's. You can load the same base and fill it with the same ammo using the same .ini file over and over. You just can't apply it to another base because the GUID's are different.

I hoped that there was an easier way. You have to fill every base with ammo manually.

If you export the non-delta ini it will give you a list of all GUIDs in the scenario.

You can use this to manually hack an ini with ammo for all air bases.

Thanks emsoy,

I now have to normalise my bases so they have the capacity to hold the munitions when I do the copy/paste edit, so it exports all the munitions to the facility without dropping munitions because of lack of capacity.
