Modding questions

Post by Graz »

Hi people

I have just recently bought the game, and as I'm an inveterate modder, I want to tweak things a little.

Is there anyway to edit the cards? I've looked at the various areas of the editor and though they appear in the tables e.g.
- "79)Cards_Strategic" I can't see a link to their effects. e.g. I can add a card, but how do I set what it will do?
What about the officer cards? I can't see any reference to them anywhere (set your PG to manoeuvre warfare for example)

I can see cards mentioned as a file type when you load libraries, but they aren't visible. DO I need to change anything to see them? E.g."editobj.txt" similarly to the "editorblock.txt" where I've already unlocked the advanced and simple editors.
There are a bunch of lines showing false in there, but I don't want to "go off the reservation" too much. :)

Similarly relationships with the other senior commanders I can see a table that mentions it "51)Decision_relationship", but changes to this don't appear in game.

Is there any way to edit a save game? Or after playing a certain amount convert the save game into a scenario?

If modding troop types I noted a column heading of "SUPPLY/FUEL/STOCKPILE MOD" is this a modifier to usage of fuel, or a modifier to how much priority the unit gets in supply? So is bigger better or worse? SS Units have 150 while the Wehrmacht as 100, so I assume its priority, but maybe it is something else entirely?

If this is not the place for modding fuel usage, how can I do so?

Next can I modify reinforcements, I've added in new troops types on both sides, and they appear in the list of units I can manually add in, but how do I make them reinforcements?

Next anyway to modify train and truck numbers, both starting numbers and via reports - "make decision" (or the "Help! More trains" etc buttons)

That is enough to keep me going for now, so can anyone help with any of these?

Thanks

I am unsure where you are seeing all this data, since I have not myself tried to modify the DC:B. I do however have some experience in the other DC-series and DC:CP.

Some of what you are experiencing is probably because you are looking at the Simple Editor or Intermediate Editor. There is a more advanced Editor hiding under the hood too. To fully mod something it might be needed.
