So, should we do the whole process? Build the txt file, give it an enc name and then add it to the oob? Build the text file. - type it out and save it as a *.txt file quote:
Or should we just make one file with seperated txt sections and then submit them to a central organizer who can copy and paste them into individual enc files and then link them to the oobs, thereby eliminating any conflicts? No, that makes it very difficult quote:
Another alternative is to make seperate txt files with the name of the unit and it's county of origin (i.e.: Hurricane_UK) and submit them zipped into one file to a designated oob editor person who can then can rename them to enc numbers and make the necessary oob changes, also eliminating conflicts. This would work, I suppose. quote:
Oh, I just checked the oob editor. I see that, at least in the UK, all units are already assigned an enc number, it's just that the file doesn't necessarily exist in the SPWaW directory. In the encyclopedia, the txt file will show up as 000, which threw me. Most units have a text number assigned in the UK OOB. In fact the UK OOB has a very good encyclopedia presence. Of course you may wish to improve on it............. Open UK encyclopedia and look for example at the Daimler AC. You will notice the enc txt number 661. Now, if you open the enc directory in the SPWAW folder you will find enc0661.txt. You can edit this file to include additional information or to correct my bad grammar. Bloody colonials never could speak the Queen's English anyhow, could they? [:D] Rather you send the files to me, old chap. KG has enough on his plate.
