Lemonade Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 How can I change composition of battle groups or create a new one? Strangely, campaign generator doesn't allow this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushr00m Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I think its possible to manually edit the .xml files in the folder for the campaign. But when i tired to do just that thing the campaign runs fine with the edited battlegroups but the saves for it wont work. :confused: I find it very strange that it lets me play the edited campaign but not save it.

Sneaksie Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 You should edit these files using Mission Editor (MissionEditor\Editor.exe). Run it, left-click Templates menu and then Load Army Template, choose an XML file from Generator\CAMPAIGNS\USA folder (or PRK folder). Edit army pool using the list on the right as you see fit (placement of these units on the empty map doesn't mean anything in case of Army template). Make sure to use Save Army Template command to save your changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosseau Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I assume we only need to save the army template and not the mission itself. I threw an SU-76m into the PRK artillery templates, so assume they may appear when generating a campaign, if I understand this right. Thanks!!

Lemonade Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Okay, so I have CAMPAIGNS/USA/USA_infantry_template_m4.xml open, which I believe is Ist Corps (as it has helis) from the main US campaign. Where do I change the battle group's name? Also, can I edit individual unit names somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Okay, I slowly begin to understand. The names are in the texts.utf8 file (Battle Group #.Name and Battle Group #.FullName) in the campaign folder and are linked with the battle groups from campaign.xml file via their unique ID#. However changing the default unit names from "Rifle Squad", etc. to something else remains a mystery for me. The unit name attribute in the mission editor does nothing. Same with changing single infantrymen names to something constant, like Lt. Col. Charles Smith. It just doesn't seem to work. Are the Human->Person->Name and LastName properties there just for kicks?

Knokke Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Have you tried editing the data/local/en/names.utf8 file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
