When you edit the platoon .oob files, are you remembering to use the -X NoEncryption option?

It's described in the linked-to Coder Diary. See the link in Post #32.

It is also mentioned in the 5.29 Encryption section of the JTCS Manual, on p. 68 or thereabouts.

In a few words: If you modify the platoon .oob files, your changes won't take effect unless you use the -X NoEncryption option in the manner described.

ok i'll try that. would that work for the east front org editor?

if i would make a scenario to play against another player...would it work or would i have to send them the new files.

i dont know if im the only one getting this error.

nobody else has responded, so i dont know if its just me.

im not trying to cheat or anything i just want those units to show up, so if i need to use them i wont run into this error.

A problem is that the -X NoEncryption option only applies to the game engine. If you launch a PBEM or other two-player game via the frontend, there is no way it can pass the -X option to the game engine. So effectively you can't use player-modified .oob and other data files in two-player games, only in solo play.

But you can do this: After testing changes to your satisfaction, you can send your modified files to the Dev Team (or post them here). We have a standing offer to encrypt user modified data files. Jason Petho says he would be happy to do it.

It's nothing personal. It works this way for everybody.

You first need to create a .zip file. Then, in the forum reply dialog, there is a 'Click here to upload' button (lower left corner of the text edit window). Click the button, and follow the instructions.
