Armies of Italy OOB

[Zeke]

Very nice Jack.....A great OOB and I'm enjoying playing it!! Im working on a few OOBs at the moment based on Napoleon's first campaign in Italy 1796/1797 - Battle's of Montenotte, Lodi, Dego and Rivoli

As for Waterloo what can I say no respectful Englishman who is interested in this period should not have researched this battle!!! - So If it helps I did this for TC2M based on Digby Smith's research....The CSV excel version has Accurate unit strength numbers and can be found here:

Hey Zeke,

Thanks for the kind words. I have tons of info on the Waterloo OOB, including Scotty Bowdens mighty tome and George Naftzigers OOBs. Problem now is a loading glitch in the British side. I haven't changed out the french yet, so it's going to take awhile. It is making me nuts that I can't run this damn thing down. But I will.

Ah The joys of OOB's creation :blink: :pinch:

Z,

...and the thing is, I KNOW I'm looking right at it, too. Some damn comma missing or a name not right. I'll get it.

Warpack was so great for finding commas or numbering mistakes in TC2M. Garnier's EditOOB.exe must do the same for SOW (haven't tried).

[Jack ONeill]

Tac,

So true. G's EditOOB.exe doesn't want to work on my comp for some reason. (Sigh).

Jack,
You might try the most recent version of Open Office: OO website . The Calc program now writes the csv files in the correct format for the game engine. For me, editing csv files in a spreadsheet program is much better that a text editor. Your mileage may vary.

Jim,

Thanks. Will check it out. Hate working in Excel. Use Notepad since I can actually "see" everything, (Hat tip to DaV for that). Onward!

Silly question...But when you try running the OOB and (I presume)it crashes - Are you are checking the SOW log file that's created? As this may highlight where the error is located.

I use openoffice Calc for my OOBs, latest version works fine.
