Trying to convert a Prairie Grove TC2M Units file into a SOW OOB...errors out. I've done this with other Units files with no probs, any solutions here? Attached...

You'll have to find what's different about the prairie grove OOBs from other OOBs that were converted successfully, and either edit the OOB converter mapping files (included somewhere with the OOB editor) or edit the Prairie grove OOBs to be like the other TC2M OOBs before trying to convert.

Thanks for the quick response. Yeah, it's quite different...SR1. Not sure where to begin, the structure is the same, just starting at company level. Perhaps the headings? Also the company names are not unique, maybe that...I'll dig in and try some stuff. Still going to be a lot of manual changes, just hope your converter can give me a head start.

While you're working on it RebBugler, the Prairie Grove OOB cannot be used in MP play. The game crashes. The log file says there is a missing sprite. SP is not a problem.

I certainly didn't mess with sprites. I ran the MP version alone with no errors, so, clueless. All I can think of is that the Indian regiment mix using the unitglobal file and the OOB for MP got mixed with the SB OOB used for the SP scenario. CSA Cavalry 5 is the Indian mix...is this the prob?
IOW, OOB used for MP, SB OOB used for SP

Figured it out, you were using the SB version for MP...here's the fix, Attached...
Hope you caught the edit, had to rename the SB OOB. Learned a lesson here, was going to use just one OOB using the SB designation. However, I used the unitglobal file for the Indian mix, so SB wouldn't work for MP play. In the future when unitglobal is used, I'll just go the traditional route using the OOB for SP play.
