Hey Arkady,

Here's the finished icon, and the bit file to make it work. Just rename Czech.txt to Czech.zip and you should be fine to extract the two files. You will need to give it whatever platoon number you will use for it. Enjoy!!

Mike

Mike

If you need any pics to help with the unit images let me know?
You are all doing good work! [:)]

Cool, thanks very much, Ed!

Mike

Hi,
I uploaded my data for units - platoon and weapons
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pkpY19DCt-nGJeBSaWaUuSA
It is in simple table form...let me know if you want to know some details.
 
I'm compiling list of unit graphic already available and working on higher level OOB (company, regiment, brigade etc)
 
 
Arkady

Excellent!! Thanks again.

Mike

Creating higher level of organizations files (company, battalion, regiment, divisions) is very time consuming, especially when data are available but scattered in various resources in different format, sometimes picture, sometimes plain text and sometimes table.

I want to know your opinion -

Do you prefer english names of units and OOB formations or original (czech) labeling for accuraccy ?

eg.
"LT-35 Light Tanks" or "Lehky tank vz.35"
"Infantry Company"  or "Pesi rota"

I prefer english names with original names included in documentation...what do you think ?

Go with the Czech names, preferably.

We can include the translations in a glossary.

Jason Petho

Yes, I agree, correct names adds a definite flavor, although it can get tricky with the formations, but platoons, definitely use the correct language whenever possible!

Mike

I think the Czech names would be great. I am enjoying having German names on the German units in EF.

I vote for Czech names too.
 
If I play and can't figure out what the name means from the graphic, I can use your viewer or F2 and hopefully the description will tell me.

One more vote for Czech names.  I love learning new things, and getting as authentic a feel as possible.

Chuck

Ok, Czech names will be used

I hope that game is able to display czech characters correctly. On my system it works and I'm using UTF-8 encoding for game files.

a lot of silence on my side....sorry, I'm very busy at work last month [:'(]

Some teaser, I'm checking encoding compatability...two screens from OOB Editor
Note: Czechoslovakian roundels and 'CS Army' nationality name will be not part of the mod, I altered exe files for this and redistributing modified exe files is against license agreement. When finished, I'll send the mod to Jason Petho, maybe he include it to future patch (1.05 or later...I'm really slow now)

Hallo Arkady
Good work - Can you send me this. I will using the oob in original language for my scn The Bolt out of the Blue -WWIII in 1989. We have finished the polish, french, USA, Netherlands, british , east and westgerman troops all in his original languages.

Now - I am working also on the chech army. Caspar produce many fresh icons now for this nation.

Dali will takes the command of this troops and conquer Austria and South-Bavaria.

H.Balck

sorry, not ready yet
if you want translated unit names and organizations, let me know

what I found - platoon files need's to be in utf-8 format before encrypted to obx
higher oob files needs to be in ISO encoding to be properly displayed in Org Editor and in-game

Hallo Arkady
I will send you my oob for the czech troops next week - than you can translate. Do you like to play with us ?

H.Balck

Ok, I'll translate it but I'm not interested at the moment (= I don't have enough time [;)])to play/test.
