Exploding bridges and non-exploding bridges

[CSO_Talorgan]

Can the bridges in LSA be set to *not* explode? I'm wondering if the game could be modded into something that has nothing to do with Market Garden.

Conversely, I presume that there'd be a problem if you tried to use bridge maps from outside LSA in LSA? Even if LSA knew where the explosion graphic was supposed to happen, there would be a graphic missing - that of the bridge after the explosion!

... and of course there is the pontoon bridge on the morning after graphic too ...

just more modding needed

\Data\Base\Campaign.txt can be edited to delete all the bridge data and set the number of bridges at 0.

Conversely, Im confident LSA can be modded (campaign.txt & bridges.azp) to accommodate non-LSA bridge maps.

I'm thinking I may need to do my mod for TLD instead of LSA. At least then force pools could be fixed at 15 teams per battle group. I don't think my 1 to 1 mod would work very well with limited BG slots.

yes, it is a shame that this release was not more modder friendly.... data being locked into the exe was a thing of the dark ages which seems to have had a renaissance.

Thanks for the answers.

Gary: what I did, was:
1). As Steve mentioned setting points in the campaign editor (shift+click)
2). making a sqad of 10 ppl and adding 99 of them to a BG. It worked.

I know its very unelegant but its the way we can live with this. If you have still to few points... add 99 more or rise their morale, exp or whatever.
