Question about editor for combat unit buildup

Post by zisongzi »

I want to creat a new TOE for Breakthrough Corp by building up 2 breakthrough div. and 1 rocket div.

Once tried in the editor and save the TOE, but it didn't show up in the game and I don't know what to do

now. Could you give me some advice? By the way, can I directly create a Breakthrough Corp?

Thanks a lot~

TOE(OB) is part of generic data stored in wrob.dat. You may load generic data, edit and save. Alternatively it is also possible edit TOE(OB) in scenario, but you need to lock it there (on the main tab in scenario editor) .

so it is possible to create a new kind of corp and buildup into it in the game? Thank you so much, and I will try it again.

P.S. strange name for a replier [;)]

Helpless, sorry to bother you again, but I didn't get a Breakthrough Corp. 3 divisions didn't buildup into a corp, and the shift+b list didn't show up the new corp entry either. So maybe it's not about changing an existing TOE, but how to creating a new kind of unit. How can I make it? Thank you very much!

If I understand correctly, you want to create a new kind of Soviet unit that shows up in the list of units that may be built during the game. I'm not sure, but I don't think this is possible. The list of units that can be built is no doubt hard coded by name. If you substituted your new TOE for an existing one using the same name, it's possible that this new TOE would take the place of the old one and could be built.
All understanding comes after the fact.

Sounds like he wants to build up an Artillery Corps using 3 Artillery Divisions, in much the same way 3 Cavalry Divisions can build up a Cavalry Corps. Not something that can be done in the editor.
