what.if -> US Battleship and a few other things (4/23/2010 1:03:16 PM)

Need some help with the following

1 Adding a US Battleship to a scenario but the icon is corrupted - it is coming up with what looks like a german glider - how do I change this?
2 The M20 Scout car - the green highlight line is out of sink - is there a way of correcting this?
3 When using the "Edit Order of Battle" is there any way to copy units. For example I have just added landing craft to an infantry division is there anyway to copy this division?
4 Does anyone have a copy of a german mg unit from the original West Front?

What UPDATE are you using? I don't have the game infront of me, so I can't check.

Yes, I will attach an update .BIT file this weekend.

Not a copy and paste directly, but there is a way.

Save your original OOB file -- ORIGINAL.ORG

Save a copy of the original -- USINF_LC.ORG

In the USINF_LC.ORG, remove everything but the infantry division that you added the landing craft to.

Save USINF_LC.ORG when you are complete.

Close USINF_LC.ORG and open the ORIGINAL.ORG

FILE --> APPEND...

Select the USINF_LC.ORG file

Press OPEN

And voila. You have a copy of the infantry division with landing craft in your ORIGINAL.ORG file.

OK, no worries. I will have to post a replacement file for the US as well. The Platoon10.oob, Platoon10.obx and associated graphics will need to be updated.

Are these for West Front or Rising Sun or both?

Hi

Rising Sun is fine, it's just West Front

Hi Jason

Was I suppose to delete any files first because when I copied the files over and tried to add the battleship the game crashed?

Jason Petho -> RE: US Battleship and a few other things (4/26/2010 8:32:46 PM)

I would recommend unzipping the file to a new folder.

Then going into the new folder and copy and paste everything in the PATCH West Front folder to the GAME West Front folder.

That should fix the problem.

Jason Petho -> RE: US Battleship and a few other things (4/26/2010 8:37:56 PM)

LOL.. crap. I see the error.

Hang on.
