Scourge of War Boards

I seem to recall a mod from a while back that increased the staff depending on the rank of the general- i.e. the commander of an army would have about 7 or 8 staff sprites instead of 1. Does anyone remember this?

I did a small edit years ago, but it was never a Mod, Is this what you are referring to?

It only applied to the Commander of the Army. If it is, I can post the lines to change.

I believe that's it, Davinci. If you post the lines I'd appreciate it. I may go ahead and play with it some too.

Ten-Four:

I will post them later tonight after work!

Also - Are you still playing the "Victory at Sea - Pacific" game?

I've stopped for now because I'm waiting on the devs to fix all the bugs. I'm guessing you saw my youtube review (The Warsimmer) of it? How'd you know that was me?! Purty cool!

This might not be exactly right, and you may have to play around with it a bit, it's been a while since I modded this game.

** Also, Here are the files from My game just in-case you want to view them.

I use larger than default Graphics, so you might have to play around with the [ E] and [ F] Columns in the ( drills.csv ) file to reduce the space between the units.

OOB - Basically you are only adding a new formation to the Commander, and changing the head count.
Only Columns to edit are the [ R] and the [ S] columns.

Post Back, any problems.

Yes, I have seen the video that you posted, spot on!

It's a unique style of WW2 Pacific game play, it has a lot of potential .

I spent several weeks looking at a number of YouTube videos before buying, so I went into it knowing about the bugs and glitches.

I think that it will be a better game when it's all done, but it probably won't be for at least a year.

I've got it all figured out and it works splendidly. Thanks for the info, Davini! Do you know if there is a way to assign specific sprites to the positions in the drills.csv? That way generals can looks different than their subordinates?

Do you know if there is a way to assign specific sprites to the positions in the drills.csv? That way generals can looks different than their subordinates?

Yes, the ( Third ) number controls that, it works with the ( unitglobal ) file - Columns [ G - thru - L]

Example :

(0-0-3)2
Tells the Game to "Load" the 3rd Uniform for that Sprite from the UnitGlobal.csv - or Column [ I]
The very last number which is a "2" - is the 2nd Sprite in that formation.

(0-0-4)3
Tells the Game to "Load" the 4th Uniform for that Sprite from the UnitGlobal.csv - or Column [ J]
The very last number which is a "3" - is the 3rd Sprite in that formation.

The Same thing can be done with the Sprites that are in formation - look at how I did it with the infantry from the ( drills ) file that I posted above.

Any chance you could make this a mod for the less confident among us.

The logic behind it not being a Mod is that it might interfere with other Mods, so I try to only Mod my own files.

But, if you would post "Your" drills, unitglobal, and the OOB that you play all the time, I could alter those files which might avoid any conflicts. Also, explain what you want them to do pertaining to which army.

Post them here, and I will try alter them, within the week.
