"modding" Maps

[Hellway]

Hello, I notice that the "mapsIcons" related to air, bombing and strategic actions do not remain permanently on the map once the corresponding menus are unselected. The actions are well recorded and executed but you can't see them anymore when you switch back to the movement map. Is this normal and intended (different in DW 1942)?

Thanks

Same in both WEGOWW2 games.

In your orifinal files, the eng_100, eng_101, eng_102 units are "with horses" on the army0 forlder :

...but in the picsArmy0 not :

...So, I create the army "without horses" and the picsArmy to refer like :

Now I see that certain eng units sounds in the game like "foot units" (that's good and why I do this change) BUT there are eng units who sounds like "truck unit" (???).

Do you have any idea which eng 100-101 or 102 unit is considered "in truck" by the game?

Should I create a unit eng_102 in the "picsArmy0" folder (which does not exist even though this unit is present in the army0 folder - see my last question before).

eng units "with horses" are used by the OOB ?

SAME ISSUE in the "vanilla" game also have eng units with "horses" icons on the map and "truck" sound used...
--> (cf The morning road to Stalingras .scn)

Thank you for your availability and sorry for the stolen time, I'm doing my best.

... in other words, can you explain to me how the program links the icons in the unitsIcons/army folder with the images in the corresponding unitsIcons/picsArmy folder?

For the sake of clarity, here is a noted example in Road to Stalingrad .scn (30 turns):

384. Pioneer Bat (Mot) use eng_100 image and picImage + "truck" sound :

100. Pioneer Bat (foot) use enr_100 image and picImages BUT "foot sound" :

...sames images and picImages BUT different sound, thtat's what I don't understand and would to correct in my mod please.


Thanks a lot.

Sound files are assigned in the WEGOWW2 editor. However, this capability is not available in WEGOWW2: Desert War.

Superb, and I hope I can "import" the originals .scn data from the game and change it (I don't find the .csv files for originals scenarios) and upload a new file inside my mods. Sorry for my "newbee's" interventions...

How can I find the .csv files asked in the "import" option of the editor (with all data needed) from the original scenario list of the game please ?

Thanks

[bcgames]

Launch the editor. Open the scenario in question. Go to the tab in question. Select Export. I normally create a folder called "CSV" in the My Games/Stalingrad or Desert War directory. Save the export there. Open, modify, import.
