Unit bug - missing german marine inf icon and data

Post by Vampir »

After installing version 2.0, it turned out that in scenarios where there are land units Kriegsmarine been replaced with remastered version of the patrol unit. [X(] Details of these units and their description are mixed. Please correct this error.

Thank you. Please name a scenario where this occurs and I can have a look at it!

Edit

1.04:

[font="Courier New"]P01229 6 3 7 35 50 25 10 5 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 2 73 P01241 3 2 131 0 1 13 44 6 53 12 0 0 0 Marine Infantry Platoon , Marine Inf Pltn , [/font]

2.00:

[font="Courier New"]P01271 6 3 7 35 40 30 10 5 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 78 563 P01241 3 2 131 0 1 13 44 6 53 12 0 0 0 Marine Infantry Platoon , Marine 44 ,
P01867 6 2 6 40 50 35 10 5 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 78 563 P01241 3 2 131 0 1 13 44 6 53 12 0 0 0 Marine Infantry Platoon G , Marine 44G ,
P01868 6 4 8 33 25 25 10 5 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 78 563 P01241 4 2 131 0 1 13 44 6 53 12 0 0 0 Marine Infantry Platoon V , Marine 44V , [/font]

Edit2:

Oh oh... 2.00 had Green and Veteran Marines added, together with a new Patrol/Scout platoon...

[font="Courier New"]P01229 1 1 5 50 25 25 11 6 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 41 74 P01229 3 2 131 1024 1 13 35 1 53 12 0 0 0 Patrol/Scout , Patrol/Scout ,[/font]

...but the unit id's got mixed somehow. The old Marine in 1.04 indeed point to a Patrol/Scout in 2.00.

This will need to be fixed in a future update.

Luckily, if you want to give it a try you can fix this for games vs AI only.

As described HERE, the game now allows for local modifications against AI only.

If you want to,

1) Make a backup copy of platoon01.oob in West Front folder.
2) Change the Patrol/Scout to have Unit id of P01271. That is the first value in the beginning of row 511
3) Change the Marine Infantry 44 to have Unit id of P01229. Again, the first value in the beginning of row 458
4) As described in Coder diary, create a Shortcut for WF.exe with a parameter -X added.
5) When you launch WF via this short cut, the game will now read the unencrypted oob files. You can launch WF for PBEM games also via this Shortcut as the game always reverts to encrypted files for games vs human.
