new estab file

[nepejke]

hi, I tried to create new estab file for my scenario, and when i try to compile this I have two errors: formation effects

left-ledge
right-ledge [:(]

then when I load this estab file in my ScenMaker I get crash

Ooh those are the two new Soviet formations we added for our upcoming east front packs. They should not have been included. I'll look into this. Thanks for reporting it.

You can always be surprised [:)]

nepejke, can you send a zipped version of the XML file for your estab to this address

miquel.ramirez_at_gmail.com (substitute _at_ by @). That would help to find how that has found its way into the wilds

[BletchleyGeek]

Okay, I think I see what's the problem. In the meantime, edit your Estab XML document (with an editor such as Notepad++) and remove the blocks of text between and that include these pair of lines

<formation-effects id="13" type="left-ledge">
....
</formation-effects>

and

<formation-effects id="14" type="right-ledge">
....
</formation-effects>

Bletchley_Geek, thanks you! My estab now success compile, but anyway when I try load in ScenMaker I get crash [:(]

can you see, whats wrong?

You need to add a picture to the Side. For that:

1) Create a folder called 567_Images
2) Copy from BFTB_Images the German Cross
3) In EstabEditor, bind the Axis Side to the image file

You're ready to go. We really need to make EstabEditor to bark if no images have been associated with the Side.

[nepejke]

Ooh. It really works! Thanks! Dont know how I can gratitude you [&o]

for this quickly help

[Arjuna]

Thanks Miquel.[&o]

this is the best war-game which I ever seen, where anyone can create/edit historical unit (I like tanks) with so many realistic attributes [:)]

but, better create own estab, than edit main estab file, cause when I try edit main file, I get often errors in side import phase

[nepejke]

guys, if I add second gun to tank, eg Tiger II 8.8cm KwK 43 Qty - 2

will be it work in game or?

just interesting about game mechanics[:)]

If you create an AFV and assign a different weapon to it, then that should run provided:
1. The weapon already exists within the list of estab weapons or
2. You create a new weapon and you assign it a valid ammunition or create a new ammo type and then
3. You recompile the new estab and
4. Assign the new estab to a unit that appears in a scenario.
