Are these NVA as opposed to VC units?

Many thanks

You can fly over enemy units.

And you can walk over enemy units if they are in tunnels.

A data error due to using the wrong platoon for the company, I will remedy that for 1.01.

Status: offline 		Are all the units and platoons just generically named? Just beginning to watch the playthrough of Operation Starlite in the unit pane I just see things like "Marine Platoon 65" or "Gunship (Hog)" rather than a "1st platoon/D Company/5-46th Bn" that sort of thing. Is there not a defined chain of command that each platoon/company/battalion belongs to? Or how is that represented? I've not really played the campaign series so please forgive my ignorance.

No, the order of battles are properly defined, here is a screenshot from Operation Starlite that shows you where to find that information for each platoon.

Status: offline 		Hi Jason
Thanks very much for this. The quick JSGME “how to” is really helpful. We really have no excuse for not using it to implement mods for CS games!

The possibilities for this enhancing this and indeed the earlier generation of the CS titles are almost endless. For example it looks like it should be possible to built entirely new factions for these games using the empty slots ? Will you be keeping some of the factions slots in the CSME, CSVN and further titles free for mod makers to use ?

Many thanks
Ian

As you can see, we don't have a lot of empty slots, and those might be consumed in the future, depending on what we cover.

Depending on what you want to do, a mod might replace an existing country for a special use. or, replacing the GENERIC labeled countries would be wise for a MOD.

Status: offline 		Hi Jason
Thanks for that. After looking at your list and having done a bit more investigation of what is possible using JSGME it looks as if the best way forwards would be a series of biggish JSGME mods. Guess I should put my money where my mouth is here and have a go at these myself at sone point

For each 6 CS series games in question I guess the following (which don’t use up any of your 12 empty slots could work..

Campaign Series Middle East (CSME)

Generic Pro West = 14 as now
Generic Pro East = 18 as now
Generic Pro West 1 (a clone of 14) = Use 11 (Republic of Vietnam)
Generic Pro East 1 (a clone of 18) = Use 21 (People's Republic of Vietnam)
Generic Pro West 2 (a clone of 14) = Use (98 Generic Pro-West CSVN)
Generic Pro East 2 (a clone of 18) = Use (99 Generic Pro-East CSVN)

Use the unit ID numbers from 13 (Laos) and 49 (Cambodia) to add extra platoon units to nations in the game and its mods that have used up all their ID numbers.

Campaign Series Vietnam (CSVN)

Generic Pro West = 98 as now
Generic Pro East = 99 as now
Generic Pro West 1 (a clone of 98) = Use 14(Generic Pro West CSME)
Generic Pro East 1 (a clone of 98) = Use 18 (Generic Pro East CSME)
Generic Pro West 2 (a clone of 98) = Use 22 (Israel)
Generic Pro East 2 (a clone of 98) = Use 23 (Egypt)

Use the unit ID numbers from 77 (Zimbabwe) and 79 (Mozambique) to add extra platoon units to nations in the game and its mods that have used up all their ID numbers.

Cold War (CSCW)

Generic Pro West = use 14 Generic Pro West ( CSME)
Generic Pro East = use 18 Generic Pro East (CSME )
Generic Pro West 1 (a clone of 14 above ) = use 98 Generic Pro West (CSVN)
Generic Pro East 1 (a clone of 18 above ) = use 99 Generic Pro East (CSVN)
Generic Pro West 2 (a clone of 14 above ) = Use 11 (Republic of Vietnam)
Generic Pro East 2 = (a clone of 18 above ) = Use 21 (People's Republic of Vietnam)

Use the unit ID numbers from 13 (Laos) and 49 (Cambodia) to add extra platoon units to nations in the game and its mods that have used up all their ID numbers.

East Front III (EFIII)

Generic Pro Allied = use 14 Pro West ( CSME)
Generic Pro Axis = use 18 Pro East (CSME)
Generic Pro Allied 1 (a clone of 14 above ) = use 98 Pro West (CSVN)
Generic Pro Axis 1 (a clone of 18 above ) = use 99 Pro East (CSVN)
Generic Pro Allied 2 (a clone of 14 above ) = Use 11 (Republic of Vietnam)
Generic Pro Axis 2 (a clone of 18 above ) = use 21 (People's Republic of Vietnam)

Use the unit ID numbers from 13 (Laos) and 49 (Cambodia) to add extra platoon units to nations in the game and its mods that have used up all their ID numbers. I also guess you might want to reserve the use of 03 (German Democratic Republic) for this purpose in the main game yourselves as I understand that a lot of German infantry platoon ID’s have already been burned through in the release edition of EFIII.

West Front II (WFII)

Generic Pro Allied = use 14 Pro West (CSME)
Generic Pro Axis = use 18 Pro East (CSME)
Generic Pro Allied 1 (a clone of 14 above ) = use 98 Pro West (CSVN)
Generic Pro Axis 1 (a clone of 18 above ) = use 99 Pro East (CSVN)
Generic Pro Allied 2 (a clone of 14 above ) = use 77 (Zimbabwe)
Generic Pro Axis 2 (a clone of 18 above ) = use 79 (Mozambique)

Use the unit ID numbers from 13 (Laos) and 49 (Cambodia) to add extra platoon units to nations in the game and its mods that have used up all their ID numbers. I also guess you might want to reserve the use of 03 (German Democratic Republic) for this purpose in the main game yourselves as I understand that a lot of German infantry ID’s have already been burned through in the release edition of EFIII.

Rising Sun II (RSII)

Generic Pro Allied = use 14 Pro West ( CSME)
Generic Pro Axis = use 18 Pro East (CSME)
Generic Pro Allied 1 (a clone of 14 above ) = use 98 Pro West (CSVN)
Generic Pro Axis 1 (a clone of 18 above ) = use 99 Pro East (CSVN)
Generic Pro Allied 2 (a clone of 14 above ) = use 77 (Zimbabwe)
Generic Pro Axis 2 (a clone of 18 above ) = use 79 (Mozambique)

Use the unit ID numbers from 13 (Laos) and 49 (Cambodia) to add extra platoons units to nations in the game and its mods that have used up all their ID numbers.

Kind regards
Ian

Status: offline 		Hi Ian, in addition to what Jason and you posted, games are also restricted to have only those nations in as intended. So for instance with Vietnam, you would have the 11 nation slots that are there. I don't believe 98 and 99 are enabled at the moment at least, I believe they are reserved for future DLCs. So maybe in time.
