[Answered] Export Order of Battle

Post by Steve04 »

Pleas does anyone know how to export the order of battle of a scenario to a txt or xls file?
It seems not possible to select and copy the text directly from the OOB window.
Thank you, Steve

You can select units to export in the scenario editor. Its in the manual.

You can also export all units through the template export process. Also in the manual on page 214. It creates a text file with the units and the configuration of the unit.

Thanks for your intervention Thewood, I understand that the best way is to select (on the map, sic ...) all the units / groups and then save them with an appropriate name in a special folder created within the country of origin, using the command Editor / Import / Export units >>> save selected units / group to file.
Unfortunately I see that the bases, while saving the aircraft present, do not maintain their loadout, despite having full warehouses. You will probably need to use the SRB delta template function, but I haven't tried it yet.

I don't think its the delta template, but the full template ini file. The downside is you'll have to format it for easier reading. I've actually never tried it for that purpose, but it only takes a minute to verify.

You could use Lua to create a list to copy. Eg https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4233608

Very interesting michaelm, many thanks.
However, I have not solved my problem, as my goal is a little different.
I would like to have a file. xls, but also .txt, which can then be edited as needed, with only the Groups / Base and the units connected to them (with relative loadout), or only the units when they are single.
The final output should look something like this:
- Airbase Named XXX
8 MiG-29 (AA-10 Alamo)
6 Su-24 (AS-14 Kedge)
4 Su-24 (FAB 250)
- 16. Mech.Inf. Rgt.
2 Armored Plt. (T-72 x 4)
4 Mech.Inf.Plt. (BMP-2 x 3)
2 Motor rifle Plt. (BTR-60)
- 910 Erradii (Meko A-200AN)
1 Lynx Mk-300 (Mu-90 Impact)
and so on ...
Basically it would be enough for me to be able simply to "copy" the Order of Battle window (hotkey "O") and edit it.
Also deleting all that is redundant, such as airport structures, buildings ect., in order to have a very linear and clean OOB, that could be immediately appreciated and evaluated (roughly similar to what was in Harpoon 2 or Harpoon 3, you remember ...?)
It's possible ?
