I play Panzer Corps' Grand Campaigns and I've made some changes, thanks to your great tool. But those changes aren't effective with my current campaign but only with new scenarios. Is there a way to change that?
Thanks!

Is this the latest version and if not where is the link to download the newest version?
UPDATE = OK I TOOK THE PLUNGE AND PURCHASED THE FULL VERSION OF THE GAME AND IT WAS YOUR EDITOR THAT CONVINCED ME TO GET THE GAME.[:)]

Hi Guys,
Myu apologies for the late response, I've been out of the forum for the lasy few weeks. Thanks all for the kind words and please let me know if you have suggestions for improvement.
@deckarudo,
Can you let me know what steps you are taking to edit and save your data. That'll help me track down the problem if there is one or talk you through something that you might be doing wrong.
Cheers
Mark

Mark, prepare yourself, because with Afrika Korps we will need a little revision. [:)]

I don't think there's a limit for the equipment or the efx file.

I have added equipment starting with ID# 10000 (to avoid usind ID#s included in future official eqp-files) so there appears to be no real limit like the good Von Paulus said.

I stand prepared! That's why I haven't really updated the editor recently, I've been waiting for the next major patch to see what changes it makes to the way PzC stores data.
If anybody has any inside info, it would be good to know what changes are planned beforehand so I can get the new version out as quickly as possible.
Cheers
Mark

Mark I don't deal with the equipment so I don't know much. I've noticed there are three new columns:
Theatre, Usable Transports and Transport Category
In terms of efx file there's a major change. We've now a table of aliases.
Code: Select all
# This file is used to assign various effects to units
FormatVersion 2
# Aliases
# These can be referenced from the next table.
# If a given alias does not exist, the game generates files names by adding extension to it.
#
# Alias Anim file Sound file
XXX Infantry1 Infantry1
YYY Infantry2 Infantry2
ZZZ Infantry3 Infantry3
# Effects table
# Assigns shooting animations and movement sounds to unit icons
# Offset is used to properly align animation with unit's icon. Order is the same as in the unit icon file: big icon facing right, big icon facing left, small icon facing right, small icon facing left
# Each unit can have up to 3 different animations, for ground attack and air attack separately.
# Offsets Ground attack animations Air attack animatons Movement sounds
# Unit icon Offset1 Offset2 Offset3 Offset4 Anim1 Anim2 Anim3 Anim1 Anim2 Anim3 Sound1 Sound2 Sound3
In format 1, if, for example, we had an attack sound called "gun", we had also to have an animation file called "gun". A lot of times those animations were just copy, clones of the originals.
This way we can use the aliases table, avoiding to have more clone animation files.
If you want I can send you the efx file of my sound mod, already in the new format, for you to understand how it works.
Please pm if you want my file. I can give you also an equipment file.

Thank you Mark - you are the greatest !
BTW - how can I use different transport units for different units ?
Is this Transport Category - I write the name or the number of the unit here ?
The most new traits arent include or ?

Hi All,
A new version has been uploaded.
@Dumnorix,
I've put some more information in the first post about how to use the "useable transports" list to edit a unit. Let me know if this wasn't what you were looking for and I'll try to help further.
Cheers
Mark
