maitrebongo -> RE: You want new units - WW2 units are here (4/2/2014 2:19:09 PM)

I'm conscient that it isn't very correct to quote myself but i think this point i discut in another thread must be viewed and discuted by every person who works on new stuff for this game, so i post it here... quote:
ORIGINAL: maitrebongo As i say in another thread, i think that it will be a good idea if we unify our works and find together a naming system for our files. I think these files must be usable for any of scenario's authors and for that we must create BMPs countersheets and units.csv files the more exhaustive as they can be. That's why i'm trying to include ALL the existing counters on this thread For the moment, i have sort them by : First : by Type : Vehicles, infantery, weapons (as it is sorted in the original HOS computer game) second : by era (in this thread it is World War 2 but i suppose that in the futur there could be WW1, WW3, Civil War, Star Wars [X(], and so on...) Third : by nation (and i suggest that for every new nation we sort it in "Axis" or "Allied" side because we can add only 2 new nations to the nation.csv file in the custom folder. Furthermore, i suggest to name the BMPs files producted with this 3 informations and a consecutive number. Also, we have to create a centralized and shared units.csv which concentrate these works in a unique file. Like that, we can offer to the scenario's author the possibility of creating almost every scenarios on the entire war and on every frontlines they could want. As you have seen, i'm doing the same with the maps i can find here and there. If we don't do this, and if every scenario's author do his own BMPs nations.csv and units.csv files for a single unique scenario, it will be very soon an incredible mess on our computers...
