Hello all, I guess this might be answered better by Wyatt, but if anyone else happens to know, it would be appreciated. Does anyone happen to know what the country associations are for all three games, eg 00=Russia(Allied), 01=Germany(Axis), etc. Wyatt Kapply had made a doc years ago for the Rising Sun Project, so I know the associations up to 22=Communist China(Allied), just wanted to know if a list was available after that yet.
While I'm at it, anyone knowing any insight at all on anything involving modding CS, here would be a great place to list it, like editing the movement files for instance, never did grasp that...
Thanks in advance!!
Mike

Not sure where I got this, maybe from browsing through the platoon.oob files. I believe it to be accurate, maybe Jason can verify.
EF
00 Allied Russia
01 Axis Germany
02 Axis Italy
03 Axis Romania
04 Axis Hungary
05 Axis Finland
06 Axis Slovakia
07 Allied Poland
13 Allied Yugoslavia
17 Allied Allied Romania
19 Axis Bulgaria
24 Axis USSR (Soviets)

00 Allied Russia
01 Axis Germany
02 Axis Italy
04 Axis Hungary
07 Allied Poland
08 Allied France
09 Allied UK
10 Allied US
11 Allied Netherlands
12 Allied Belgium
13 Allied Yugoslavia
14 Allied Norway
15 Allied Greece
16 Axis Vichy France
17 Allied Allied Romania
18 Allied Allied Italy
19 Allied Free French
24 Axis USSR (Soviets)

30 Axis Nationalist Spain
31 Allied Republican Spain
32 Allied Albania

RS
00 Allied Russia

10 Allied US
11 Allied Netherlands
20 Allied Nationalist China
21 Axis Japanese
22 Allied Red China
23 Axis Communist China
24 Axis USSR (Soviets)
25 Axis Thailand
Of course, Russia and the USSR are the same country, one fighting as Allied and the other as Axis. Same with Communist China and Red China.

Re: the movement files. I'm not sure if you're referring to the movement.pdx file or the movement rates in the platoon.obx files. I believe the movement.pdx file defines the "movement costs" for the various units (tracked, wheeled, foot) for the different terrain types and that file uses a different code (I think) than the other .pdx files. So you can't use the decoder program.
It's easier to modify the movement rates in the platoon.oob files and then using the decoder, change it to an .obx file. The "Rising Sun Project" document that you mentioned is a great resource and it explains the different numbers columns very well.I downloaded it a couple of months ago (can't remember where) so it's still out there. If you have it, study it. If not, I'm sure Jason knows where to find it. Good luck![:)]
