Help Understanding CSV files

Post by cbelva »

Hi,

I am having trouble fully understanding the purpose of several items in the csv file. I am trying to understand the scenario creation process and have been trying to put together some of my own OOB's. Can someone explain the purpose/function of the following column in the csv file: Tag, Icon, BML ID, db Tag, and TF ID. Also what does the "st" stand for in front of the units unders "SU Type".

Thanks for you help in this.

I meant to post something last night for you but ended up doing my income taxes instead. What a life!

I'll try to post a complete rundown on what is involved tonight.

Cheers, Rob.

I would have thought that this would have taken priority over your income tax. I mean, you still got 2 day

Thanks, I can wait[;)]

Attached is the description of the scn file format for your viewing pleasure.

In the future I will add a lot of default doctrine info too, but this is it at the present time.

Cheers, Rob.

Rob,
Could you please complete this sentence from the doc you posted its driving me nuts trying to guess how it ends!!![:)]

From Flashpoint Germany – SCN (CSV) File Spec doc
16: TF ID. “Task Force ID”. For now use “0” for off-map force and “1” for on-map force. In the futu
