majpalmer -> Unit Files. Where? (3/22/2021 10:45:16 AM)

I've downloaded some new units.pgn files that I'd like to use, but I can't find the originals to replace. I've searched the main Matrix games files and the WarPlan files on my User section, where the sames are saved. I see some new alternate units files that came with the latest patch. But where do they go? Where are the originals that need to be replaced?

Thanks!!!!

Never mind. I figured it out. You don't actually replace anything.

I'm having trouble figuring out where these new images go, would you mind telling me how you figured it out. Thanks

Look at my guide for installing image mods.

They go under the scenario name folder in MyGames\WarPlan\Campaigns\Name of scenario



lion_of_judah -> RE: Unit Files. Where? (3/22/2021 6:34:41 PM)

so we just place the image files in the folder for 1939 and so on, without changing anything??

is this correct path for the image to be placed, or where exactly does it go... If this is correct, then do I do this with each campaign. Thanks

Yes except it has the wrong name.

From the modding document..

Creating Custom Images
To create your own custom image for a scenario simply drop the file name of the image into the scenario directory. Saved games will pull from their original scenario directory.
images need to be in .png format and with a specific file name. Documented below are the file names that will be uploaded to the scenario as a custom image.

controlAlliance.png – control toggle based on alliances

the image is in png format. these images are from the Escenarios_WarPlan_V6.4 mod. where do these get placed. Are they placed in the new scenario data, or the campaign folders corresponding to each year the image is named? what name are the new images suppose to say?



lion_of_judah -> RE: Unit Files. Where? (3/22/2021 8:26:46 PM)

I figured it out, and just changed the image name to "units" but these images have unit images for summer and winter. So how do I changed the name so the game will read it.

The image reads " unit_1942S" for summer and " unit_1942W" for winter



AlvaroSousa -> RE: Unit Files. Where? (3/22/2021 9:45:20 PM)

There is no summer and winter units. There is only units.png and unitsAlt.png for 2 slots. But they don't change in game.

The 2 unit images are for toggling counter set 1 and 2 in the options.



lion_of_judah -> RE: Unit Files. Where? (3/22/2021 10:34:09 PM)

so if I change the image which says winter to "unitsAlt.png" will they be used, or will they replace the "units" images. Thank you for your help



AlvaroSousa -> RE: Unit Files. Where? (3/23/2021 2:21:43 PM)

units.png = counterset 1
unitsAlt.png = counterset 2

In the options you can toggle between counterset 1 and 2
