THE RISING SUN PROJECT


1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Rising Sun and the Campaign Series of Games. “Rising Sun” is Talonsoft’s popular war game detailing the bloody ground war fought in the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO) during World War Two. It is one of the Campaign Series, a set of three platoon level tactical war games where realistic engagements are fought upon accurately portrayed, three dimensional terrain maps that represent the World War Two battlefields of Europe, North Africa, Asia, or the islands in the Pacific. Rising Sun's two sister games are "East Front" and "West Front." East Front depicts the war as fought on the Polish and Russian Fronts, while West Front portrays the war in Western Europe, Italy, North Africa, and part of the Balkans. Within each game, Talonsoft provides a number of preset tactical scenarios, each of which represent a historical engagement or a hypothetical battle based on historical events. These scenarios allow instantaneous game play for anyone who simply wants to boot up the program and start fighting battles. But to many others, the real heart of the Campaign series consists of three game editors which allow the more inventive players to design their own scenarios. Players can create and edit battle maps, orders of battle, and tactical scenarios limited only by the parameters provided within each game and the available database files. This has spawned a sizeable cottage industry on the Internet where web sites devoted to the promotion of the Campaign Series of games, provide places where players may download or make available for use any new scenarios that have been created.

1.2 Rising Sun's Origins. “Rising Sun” was written due to popular demand from Talonsoft’s customers, as expressed on the company's web site message board. Since the Campaign Series had already encompassed the European Theater through its two previous titles East Front and West Front, many players wanted to see the Campaign Series game engine used to recreate other sources of historical battle. Chief among the areas suggested was the PTO. For given the numerous land battles fought between the Japanese and the Allies in the PTO, it seemed quite logical that Talonsoft should extend Campaign Series coverage to this blood soaked theater of action.

1.3 A Lack of Armies. When “Rising Sun” finally debuted in early 1999, it proved to be the best designed and most popular of the three Campaign Series games. But despite its success, it wasn’t long before a number of the game’s shortcomings became apparent. Chief among these was the exclusion of Russia, China, France, and the Netherlands from the game’s database of armies. West Front included the armies of Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and its Commonwealth, the United States, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Greece, Yugoslavia, and France. In East Front, players had access to Germans, Poles, Finns, Hungarians, Slovaks, Romanians, the Italians, and of course the Russians. And in each of these two titles, the armies that fought on their respective fronts are well represented. And as originally suggested by Talonsoft’s customers, Rising Sun should have followed their example by enabling players to create scenarios involving any of the warring powers that existed in the PTO. But when the game was finally released, the only available armies in the game’s database were those of the United States, the British Commonwealth, and Japan. Talonsoft stated that the remaining four powers would be included in future expansions scheduled for release in 2000 and 2001. But many became customers became doubtful of this ever occurring when shortly before “Rising Sun’s’ release, Talonsoft became a subsidiary of a software game giant famous for its focus on profits and its lack of concern for its customer’s desires. Two months later after the take over, a total of five of Talonsoft’s major game designers and software engineers resigned, a move that left many fans of the Campaign Series doubting that Talonsoft would ever fulfill its previous promises.

1.4 A Consumer Motivated Response. Having finally lost patience with the company, many of the more talented scenario designers began making their own game enhancements. And since Talonsoft refuses to license any third party software efforts, each of these individual projects are considered unsupported, unofficial upgrades provided at no cost to anyone. The results of their work are available on a few of the web sites that also provide additional battle scenarios. And while private efforts seem concentrated on the two European centered games, they still provided the initial pioneering work that allowed the "Rising Sun Project" to get started.

2. TASK DEFINITION

2.1 The Task. The Rising Sun Project is focused on increasing the number of armies represented in the Rising Sun database files from three to at least eight. In order to accomplish this task, one of two methodologies must be employed. The first consists of transferring existing armies from one campaign series game to another. The second methodology involves the creation of armies that currently do not exist within any of the Campaign Series games.

2.2 The Campaign Series Games. Each of the three Campaign Series games are based off of a common software engine consisting of approximately six executable program files and hundreds of data and image files. The executable programs can be divided into two groups. The first group consists of the three or more program files involved in the actual running of the game. The second group of executables consists of the three game editor programs used to alter or create game scenarios. Each editor program can be run as a stand-alone program separate from the actual running of the game. The data and image files are divided into two basic groups. The first set consists of common data files used for those game functions that are independent of the armies. The second and largest set of image and data files are those unique to the individual armies that are represented in each of the games. Between the three games, each equivalent type of image and data file share a common format and/or structure. Those that share the same name are completely interchangeable. This is due to Talonsoft's software reuse policy. When Talonsoft decided to expand the Campaign Series, they started with the code in the original game of East Front, made whatever changes they needed to orient the game towards the Western European and North African Fronts, tossed in some enhancements and innovations, and then published the new game of West Front. They then went back to the original East Front game, implemented the same innovations in it as were found in the new West Front game, "brought it up to standards", and published "East Front II" which replaced East Front. This process was repeated again for Rising Sun, using West Front as the basis for the new game. This process of reusing older, established software to make new products is called "Software Reuse" and it is that which what makes possible one of the solutions to the problem defined in paragraph 1.3.

2.2.1 Transfer of Existing Armies. This process involves taking all of the data and image files associated with a particular army, i.e. the Russians, and copying them over from a game where they currently exist, i.e. East Front, to whatever game does not already allow access to them. Certain other data files must be modified to account for the presence of the new army. But once all of this is accomplished, the army is available for use. This is the simplest of the procedures, and once the technique is learned, the process can be accomplished in about a day.

2.2.2 Creation of Non-existent Armies. This involves the creation of all of the data and image files required for use by an army in the Campaign Series as well as making changes to a number of pre-existing files in order to account for the new army's existence. The actual technique isn't all that difficult, but it is fraught with a number of challenges. The transfer of the Russian army from East Front to Rising Sun took about four days to accomplish because the actual technique was still being learned. But once it was complete, the Dutch were transferred over from West Front in half that time. While endeavoring to actually create the Nationalist Chinese army from scratch, the research for the project took almost two months and is still on going. The actual file creation took several days of real effort, and still hasn't been completed. But after two and a half months of effort, an evaluation version of the patch has been produced and is available for use on the Craig Foster web site.

2.2.3 More Army Creation. Paragraph 2.2.2 refers to the creation of armies that were originally planned for use in the Campaign Series, but which were never implemented. The two armies where this technique would work under are the Nationalist Chinese and the Communist Chinese. The developers inserted software placeholders into the executables making inclusion of the Armies at a later date less complicated. But there a number of instances where players may wish to have access to some armies that were never intended for inclusion in the Campaign Series available army list. The technique for including them involves the same processes utilized in paragraph 2.2.2. This will build the database. But to fully integrate the new armies into a particular game's army set, one has to actually go inside the "order of battle editor" and alter some of its lines of code.

2.3 Earlier Enhancement Efforts. One of the first independent and unofficial enhancements to the Campaign Series was a World War Three module developed by a group called "The War Office". These innovators took the West Front Game, studied the structure of its data files and how the information was used by the program executables, and through alteration of the data files and replacement of some of the graphic files used to portray maps and units, they created a prototype patch that allowed players to use a modified version of West Front to fight modern era battles. After making the patch available to others through their web site, the group continued to make improvements to their original patch, and also authored a downloadable article detailing how they managed to create their enhancements. The article provided detailed information on the structure of the game's data files, what the data represented, and how to change it to get the desired results. Craig Foster's Red Arrow Productions provides a forum for scenario and game designers who desire to exchange information about the three games, proposed enhancements, historical research information, and a test bed for completed products. Craig Foster and several others are currently developing a patch that will allow West Front to be modified for engagements between the Soviet Union and the Western Allies set in 1945. And "Scipio" of the "Red October Factory" has developed new Russian Units for use in East Front, and a handy file conversion software tool designed to defeat certain forms of data encryption utilized on some of Talonsoft's data files. Inspiration for the Rising Sun Project came about after reading about what these individuals had accomplished, and it was the knowledge provided on their web sites that made the project possible.

2.4 The Data Files. The data files of interest to those wishing to transfer or create armies within Rising Sun, or any other Campaign Series game, are those files ending with the prefixes ".oob", ".obx", ".pdt", and ".pdx". The oob and obx files are army specific ASCII data files used to define the different units within an army. The oob files are written in plain text data records and when referring to levels above platoon are used to define higher level units. The obx and platoon level oob files are files used to define platoon level army units. The executable programs access the obx file for detailed information about the platoon level unit, while the platoon oob file is a plain text version of the obx. By using the information provided by the platoon oob file, a scenario developer can begin to tailor the higher-level oob files to create unique organizations. ".pdx" and ".pdt" files are similar to oob and obx files. "pdx" files are non-army specific, encrypted common ASCII data files used by the game's executable programs to resolve such issues are unit movement, combat damage, firing, and ammunition resupply. The "pdt" files are plain text copies of the "pdx" files. There are two pdx/pdt combinations that are of interest. The first of these files is the "main.pdx". This file contains a number of game parameters such as the combat results table, terrain effects data, and resupply probabilities. The second pdx/pdt combination of interest is the weapon.pdx/pdt file set. The records within this single common data file correspond to each platoon level unit capable of conducting direct or indirect fire. If there is a platoon level unit defined within an army's .obx file that does not have a corresponding entry within the weapon.pdx file, that platoon level unit will not be capable of firing its weapons. Figure 2.1 is extracted from the War Office Article, and shows a record extracted from a platoon level oob file. Each record represents data for one platoon level unit. Tables 2.1and 2.2 are also extracted from the War Office Article and show details for interpreting the data contained within the oob data records.

2.5 The Image Files. The image files within the Campaign Series games consist of numerous individual 256 Color bitmap images used to display individual terrain features, player units, and combat effects upon the game map. They also provide the necessary bits and pieces from which the game maps are constructed. And additionally, they also contain the control features displayed upon the game menu panels. Each bitmap file ends in a ".bmp" suffix. Figure 2.2 shows a sample set of images found in a platoon unit .bmp file.

Each unit bitmap image has a corresponding ".bit" file associated with it. The .bit file contains information used by the game program to visually highlight individual unit images on the battle map.

2.6 Nation Codes. Nation Codes are two digit representations used within the game to represent the 23 different national armies represented within the Campaign Series. Each army specific graphic file and army specific data file has a nation code incorporated with its file name. Likewise, each unit specific data record within a data file has a unique identifier that utilizes a nation code within its naming structure. In addition to tracking an army's nationality, the nation code also sets which side of the conflict an army belongs. Table 2.3 shows the nation codes, their corresponding nationalities, and the side that the countries were on (either AXIS or ALLIED).

3. THE TECHNIQUES

3.1 Transferring an Existing Army. The transfer of an army from East Front or West Front to Rising Sun requires the following:

An installed copy of Rising Sun.
An installed copy of either East Front or West Front.
An installed copy of Scipio's File converter utility. The conversion utility should be installed in a folder marked "CS Conversion Folder".

To actually transfer the army, use the following steps. In this example, the Dutch Army from West Front is used.
3.1.1 TRANSFERRING AN ARMY

STEP 1. Copy all files associated with the Dutch Army from the West Front Folder to the Rising Sun Folder. Files to be copied include:
a. All .bmp files with a unique identifier that starts with "Up11", "Xp11", and "Mp11" (example "Up11001.bmp").
b. All .bit files with a unique identifier that starts with: "Mp11", "Op11", "Sp11", and/or "Xp11" (example "Op11001.bit").
c. Bases3d11.bmp, bases4d11.bmp, bases5d11.bmp, icons1d11.bmp, icons2d11.bmp, leader11.bmp, running13d11.bmp, and running3d11.bmp
d. company11.oob, battalion11.oob, regiment11.oob, brigade11.oob, division11.oob, corps11.oob, army11.oob, leader11.oob.

STEP 2. Copy the Weapon.pdt file from Rising Sun to the folder marked CS Conversion Folder.

STEP 3. Copy the platoon11.oob file from West Front to the CS Conversion Folder.

STEP 4. Using Word Pad, access the West Front Weapon.pdt file. Highlight all Dutch Army weapons records. These are the ones with six character unique identifiers that start with "P11" (example: "P11001"). All of these records have two or more lines of code. All of them are grouped together. Once all of the records are highlighted, copy them into the paste buffer.

STEP 5. Using Word Pad, access the copy of the Weapon.pdt file from Rising Sun that is residing in the CS Conversion Folder. Move the cursor to the top of the file. Copy the contents of the paste buffer to the file. Save and close the file.

STEP 6. Using Word Pad, access the Platoon11.oob file. Click on edit and replace. Replace all instances of "40 5 40 5" with "40 5 42 12". Save the file and exit. This step changes the availability dates of all Dutch Units from "May 1940 - May 1940" to "May 1940 - December 1942".

STEP 7. Double click on the CS-Coder Icon. When the program activates, click on the button "Rising Sun". Exit the Conversion Program. The folder now has a Weapon.pdx and a platoon11.obx file.

STEP 8. Copy the Weapon.pdx, Weapon.pdt, platoon11.oob, and platoon11.obx files from the conversion folder to the Rising Sun folder. Answer "yes" to all requests to overwrite existing files.

STEP 9. Using Word Pad, access the Main.pdt file. Go to line 49. Press ENTER three times to add three blank lines. Make the following entries in the blank lines: 1st Line "11 40 85", 2nd Line "11 41 85", 3rd Line "11 42 85". When you are finished, the display should look something like this:

10 45 130
10 46 130
11 40 85
11 41 85
11 42 85
21 37 90
21 38 95

Save the file and exit from it.

STEP 10. Using Word Pad, access the Main.pdx file. This file contains encrypted data. The entries that you enter must be exact. The encryption is case sensitive. Go to line 49. Press ENTER three times to add three blank lines. On the first blank line enter "iiXlhXph". On the 2nd blank line enter "iiXliXph". On the 3rd blank line enter "iiXljXph"

When you are finished, the display should look something like this:

jiYmmYjki
jiYmnYjli
jiYmoYjli
iiXlhXph
iiXliXph
iiXljXph
jhXkoXpm
jhXkpXph
jhXkqXom

Save the file and exit from it.

STEP 11. Using Word Pad, access the Company11.oob file from the Rising Sun folder. Press CTRL-H to access the Replace feature. Replace all instances of the string "40 05 40 05" with "40 05 42 12". Save the file and exit from it. Repeat this process with the Battalion11.oob, Regiment11.oob, Brigade11.oob, Division11.oob, Corps11.oob, and Army11.oob files.

The Dutch Army has now been transferred to Rising Sun. To check the results, start Rising Sun. Select the EDIT ORDER Of BATTLE. If the transfer has been successful the "Netherlands" should be displayed as one of the available armies. Double Click on the Netherlands. All levels from Platoon to Armies should have accessible units. Create a small scenario using the Dutch and the Japanese. Run the scenario, selecting the Allies as the side that will be played. Once the scenario is running, and it is the Allied Turn, each Dutch unit should appear on the map. Each Dutch unit should be selectable for movement and firing. Once this has been confirmed, the test is basically over.

3.1.2 The Main.pdt File. The game program does not access the entries made in the Main.pdt file. This file only presents a clear, unencrypted version of the values that are present in the Main.pdx file. For informational purposes it is important to keep it updated with any corresponding changes made to the Main.pdx file. The lines in the Main.pdt file that were changed represent the values used by the game program to determine ammunition resupply. In the example below, the first value "11" is the nation code of a particular army. The next value, "40" represents a year. The last value "85" represents the probability of resupply for units from that army that are low on ammunition. So for units of the Dutch Army that become low on ammunition during scenarios that take place in 1940, there is an 85% chance of their being resupplied with ammunition.

Example: 11 40 85

3.1.3 Talonsoft File Encryption. Talonsoft uses a file encryption system based on the 95 ASCII Character Set. Other ASCII characters based on an offset value selected by the encryption process replace characters within a file record. Thus, "95" in a clear file would possibly show up as "nj" in an encrypted file if the offset value is 42. The offset remains constant throughout the data record, but can change from record to record. There are 95 different encryption offsets. What determines the offset value used by the encryption routine is the length of the character string in data record. This offset value remains the same for each data record of that length. For example, if an offset value of "60" is used for a record with a character length of 12, then all records with a character length of 12 will have an offset value of "60". This is true for every encrypted file used by Rising Sun. For example, for all records in all of the encrypted files used by Rising Sun with a character length of 12, the offset of "60" would be used. For records over 95 characters in length, the program takes the record length, subtracts 95 from it, and uses the difference as the file length. If the difference is still over 95, the programming continues to subtract 95 from the value until it gets a value of 95 or less. One of the offsets used is "0" and records where this offset is used show up in encrypted files as clear text. In Rising Sun, all records with a character length of 47 have an offset of "0". Each of the other games use the same basic encryption routine, but place the "0" offset at a different location. For West Front, the "0" offset is for records with a length of "0". So if the record length is "12", the offset is "12". For East Front, the "0" offset is for records with a length of "12". Table 3.1 shows some useful values for entering encrypted values that can be used for inputting the proper encrypted values into encrypted files.

3.1.4 Transferring the Russian and German Armies to Rising Sun. The technique used for transferring most armies from West Front and East Front to Rising Sun does not work as well with the Russians and Germans. When either of these two armies are transferred over to Rising Sun, the unit icons that are displayed when the game is in 2D mode, show up as blank counters. In order to correct this, the icons2d.bmp file must be edited. Figure 3.1 shows the icons2d.bmp file from Rising Sun. Figure 3.2 shows the icons2d.bmp file from East Front. The Rising Sun icons2d.bmp file must be edited so that it looks like the modified icons2d.bmp file shown in Figure 3.3. This can be done with Microsoft Pbrush. Using Pbrush, access the icons2d.bmp file from Rising Sun. "Select" the top portion of the image, from the bottom row of the light blue counters on up. Copy the selected portion of the image to the paste buffer. Save the file to a safe location (just in case it needs to be accessed again) and then exit from the file. Using Pbrush, access the icons2d.bmp from East Front II. From the Edit menu, select "Paste". The contents of the paste buffer will be overlaid upon the top portion of the icons2d image. Save the file to the Rising Sun folder, then exit without saving it. This will enable any Russian and German units in Rising Sun to access their 2d images.

3.2 Creating an Army. This process shares some similarities with the transfer method. But since the desired army, in this case, the Nationalist Chinese, does not exist within the army databases of any of the three Campaign Series games, all of the files that would be used to define it must be created or borrowed from other armies. For the two Chinese armies, the process is slightly simplified by the fact that Talonsoft originally intended to implement their inclusion into Rising Sun. Therefore, placeholders exist within various parts of the programming code. As indicated in Table 2.3, the Nation Code for the Nationalist Chinese is 20, while that of the Chinese Communist Army is 22.

3.2.1 Researching the Army. The first step used in creating an army consists of researching that army's characteristics. Specifics such as equipment used, tables of organization, and uniforms must be known before an army can be accurately portrayed in the game system. Fortunately, most armies from World War Two are well documented, and this type of information is readily available. Unfortunately, the Nationalist Chinese Army is perhaps the worst documented army of the 20th Century. This makes it difficult to replicate within the game system. And this lack of pertinent information may be one reason why the army was not included in the initial release of Rising Sun. Once the research is done, make a list of all of the major weapons and vehicles used by the army. Then use the information on army organization to determine and list the types of platoon level units used. This list should be limited to the same basic types of combat and transportation units used by other armies in the game system. Examples would be Chinese KMT Rifle Platoons, artillery batteries and platoons, mortars, trucks, cavalry, anti-tank, etc… Once this information is in hand, it is time to continue to the next step.

3.2.2 Creating the Platoon.oob and obx files. Once research on the army's equipment and organization are completed, the next step is to create the army's platoon.oob file. The ".oob" is the file that is used to define the characteristics of each platoon level unit used in the army. And without this file, none of the higher level units used for building the scenario order of battle files can be created. Figure 3.2.1 shows the contents of an oob file being built for the Thai Army. As can be seen, information is grouped into a series of records, each of which begins with a six-character unit reference number. All of the records should begin with the same three characters, in this case, P16. But since this oob file is under construction, some of the record numbers will not yet match up with the P16 prefix. The rest of each record consists of a string of characters divided into data fields, each of which defines a specific aspect of the a single type of platoon sized unit. For example, the record beginning with P05002 shows the details for a platoon of five Vickers Type 6-ton light tanks. And for each platoon type used by the Thai Army, there will have to be a corresponding record within the platoon16.oob file. Table 2.1 defines the data fields for each record found within a platoon oob file. When transferring armies from one game to another, the platoon oob files are already in existence, and there is no need to bother with them. But when creating an army from scratch, a familiarity with the platoon oob becomes important. Looking at Figure 3.2.1 it should be noted that there are a number of unit reference numbers with prefixes other than P16. This is because the file has been built by taking a number of preexisting data records from platoon oobs developed for preexisting armies. It is fortunate that Talonsoft has already developed most of the major and minor combatants from World War Two. And since most of the minor powers purchased their equipment from, and/or designed their uniforms based upon those of one or more of the major powers, the task of creating new armies becomes nothing more than a process of borrowing equipment and icons from one or more of the already pre-existing armies. One simply finds out what equipment was used by the army in question, what the army's uniforms looked like, when the equipment and units were in use, and what their effectiveness was. Then the available platoon oobs are searched for matching equipment records, and the graphic image bmp files are look at for matching uniforms and equipment icons. The selected records are all gathered together into the new oob file and modified to match the new army. When this is completed, the conversion tool described in Step 7 of 3.1.1 is used to convert the .oob file to a useable obx file, and then both files are transferred to the Rising Sun folder.

3.2.3 Unit Reference Numbers. Particular attention must be paid to the unit reference numbers used by the oob files. This is because the game program uses them to link all of a platoon's different files and records together. Each platoon unit type capable of direct and indirect fire found in a platoon oob file has a corresponding reference number in the Weapon.pdt/pdx file. And each unit related graphic .bmp, and .bit file has its file name determined by a unit reference number found in a platoon oob file. Data fields 1 and 19 of each platoon oob unit record contain unit reference numbers. Data field 1 is the unit unique identifier. Data field 10 is used to refer to a corresponding set of graphic files used to display a platoon of that type on the game map. The same set of graphic files may be used in different platoon records. But each record must have its own unique identifier. After choosing which graphic files are to be used to represent the units of the army being created, it is best to create copies of those files naming them with the same army specific unit reference numbers used in the army's platoon oob. Thus unit reference number P16001, which might end up referring to Vicker's 6-ton tank platoon should have a corresponding an OP16001.bit, a UP16001.bmp files related to it. And there should be a corresponding P16001 entry in the Weapon.pdt/pdx file. If unit P16001 is made up of horses, motorcycles, bicycles, rafts or boats, all of which are capable being carrying passengers, and is suppose to have a specific graphic image showing it carrying passengers, then it also needs a corresponding MP16001.bmp and MP16001.bit. If P16001 were an aircraft unit, it would also have to have a SP16001.bit file associated with it. The naming convention of a unit reference number is usually dependent on the type of platoon to which it is referring too. Vehicles generally use a number whose last three digits fall between 001 and 099. Cannons, guns, mortars, and other heavy crew served weapons other than machine guns use 100-199. Infantry, engineers, machine guns, dismounted cavalry, and other infantry types use 200-299. Headquarters units are assigned 300-399, while individual leaders use 400-499. Aircraft units are assigned 500-599.

3.2.4 Modifying the Weapon.pdt. When unit records are copied from other oob files to the new army's platoon file, corresponding records from the various weapon.pdt files should be made in the Rising Sun weapon.pdt file. This can be something as simple as copying and renumbering corresponding entries from one file to another, or within the same file. Then, like the platoon oob file, the conversion utility is used to create the new Rising Sun Weapon.pdx file and then both are transferred to the Rising Sun folder.

3.2.5 Modifying the Main.pdt and Main.pdx. As in Step 9 and Step 10 of 3.1.1 the Main.pdt and Main.pdx files have to be modified to account for the new armies. Fortunately, in Rising Sun, the Chinese Nationalist, with nation code 20, have already been accounted for and no new entries have to be made. But for the Chinese Communists, with nation code 22, entries must be made accounting for 1937-1945. Refer to 3.1.2, 3.1.3, and Table 3.1 for details on how to do this.

3.2.6 Image Files. In the Campaign Series of games, each army, other than those of Russia and Germany, have their miscellaneous graphics needs handled by icon, running, leader, and base bmp files. For each country there are two icon bmp files, three bases bmp files, two running bmp files, and one leader bmp files. A complete set for the Nationalist Chinese would be titled in the following manner:

icons1d20.bmp, icons2d20.bmp, bases3d20.bmp, bases4d20.bmp, bases5d20.bmp, running13d20.bmp, running3d20.bmp, running13d.20.bmp, and leader20.bmp

The contents of a typical icon, bases, and leader image file can be seen in Figures 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. The running files can simply be copied from another similar set of running files and re-titled as appropriate. The leader file is from where the game program extracts the portraits of the individual leaders portrayed in the game. The three bases files are where the game extracts the unit bases available in the three 3d modes of the map display. The same applies to the icons files and the 2d map modes.

3.2.6.1 The Bases File. For the Nationalist Chinese, the bases3d05.bmp file for the Finnish Army was selected as a starting point. The file was copied and renamed bases3d20.bmp. The next part, making the base image, was the hardest. For the Chinese Nationalists, two versions of the Republic of China aircraft roundel showing the 12 pointed KMT star were captured into MS Paint, the image was sized to match that of the largest base available (that from a bases3d file), and then the image was converted into a slight oval. This matched up with the bases already in use. Two versions were created, one using light blue around the star, and one using dark blue around the star. The icons were then selected into the paste buffer, and then pasted over the corresponding images present in the bases3d20.bmp file and the file was saved. The images were then halved in sized to match those needed for the next size down, and the file was saved as bases4d20.bmp. The images were also halved once more and the file saved as bases5d20.bmp. Once this was done, the bases files were complete.

3.2.6.2 The Icons File. The icons1d20.bmp file was created by simply copying the Finnish icons1d05.bmp to the Rising Sun directory and renaming it icons1d20.bmp. Creating the icons2d20.bmp file was more difficult. To start, the Finnish icon2d20.bmp file was selected and copied over to the Rising Sun folder. The dark blue and white KMT star roundels replaced the blue and white circular roundels for the Finns. Various 2d icons were then selected from other icon2d bmp files and used to replace those represented in the original file. The icons are displayed on the graphical counters displayed on the normal scale 2d map, and are used to show what type of units are represented by the different counters. Data field 18 of the platoon unit record of the platoon oob file designates which icon to use for the represented unit. The numeric entry corresponds to an icon in one of the rows. The first icon in the first row is numbered "0". The next is "1" and so on. Each platoon record has an icon reference. Many platoons can share the same icon reference. What was done with the icons2d20.bmp file was that various icons representing the American, British, and Italian vehicles and pieces of equipment used by the Chinese were pasted over some of the original Finnish icons already in the file. The entries in the platoon20.oob file 2d icon data fields were then adjusted to match the platoons with their icon images. A similar process was used for data field 17 of the platoon oob file. This numeric entry corresponds with Nato symbol icon found in the icons2d.bmp file (Figure 3.3). If the record is copied directly from another platoon oob file, there usually shouldn't be any need to change this entry. However, it's always best to double check.

3.2.7 The Leader.oob File. The leader.oob file contains a list of all of the possible names that can be used by the game program for naming individual leaders. Most leader oob files have upwards of 100 or more names listed. By simply copying and renaming an existing leader oob file to leader20.oob, the Chinese version was created. All of the previous entries were then deleted and replaced by a list of Chinese names.

3.2.8 Higher Unit oob Files. By this point, the Chinese should be ready to be tested. But after an initial test has been made, it is time to begin the last step of building the Chinese Army, and that consists of creating and organizing all of the higher level unit oob files. This is a difficult and time-consuming procedure that is heavily dependent on research of Chinese unit organizations. See Appendix 3 for details on creating a higher-level oob file. Example oob files can be found in Appendix 4. Once the higher-level oob files are created, the procedures for building an army from scratch are completed.

3.3 Testing the Armies. After an army has been transferred, or created, it is best that a series of tests be run to ensure that everything is working as intended.

3.3.1 Order of Battle Test. The first test that can be performed is to boot the Game and select Edit Order of Battle. When the editor screen is displayed, a list of the available national armies will be displayed. If the platoon oob and obx files have been correctly built, then there should be a listing for the newly transferred or created army. When the initial national listing is double-clicked, a list will be displayed showing the eight possible levels (platoons through Armies) of units that are available for building Orders of Battle. If the new army has an oob file corresponding to one of the levels portrayed by the listing, then an "x'd" box will appear to the left of the unit symbol. If there are problems with the unit oob file, error warnings will be displayed when the national listing is first double-clicked.

3.3.2 The Icon Test. An order of battle is built using just platoon level units. One platoon level unit of each kind is selected from the offered listing and built into an order of battle. Save the file as "icontest" and exit the editor. Select Edit Scenario and choose to build a new scenario. Select the first map offered, and the "icontest.org" file. Name the scenario "Icon Test" in the Header Screen and proceed through to unit placement. Select Display 2D Normal View, and then begin placing the units onto the map, ensuring that only one platoon goes into each hex. The success of this test should be readily apparent. If the correct icons appear on the 2D counters, then the test is successful. If the counters are blank or else the wrong icons are on the wrong files, then something has to be fixed. Going to the 2D Zoom-out View should show if the correct Nato symbols are on the correct counters. Repeat this process at all of the possible 3d levels of display to ensure that the proper 3d images are used for each unit.

3.3.3 The Platoon Battle Test. A quick version of this is to create an order of battle file for the new army and for the Japanese or Americans, depending on which side the new army is on. Build a scenario using both new order of battle and play it through checking to see if units can fire, move, have the proper 3d images displayed, bases are shown, units can assault, and the correct outlines are shown around the 3d images of units that are selected. This test can go over the course of several different battles and could also be run as part of a continuous evaluation test issued out for play testing.

3.4 Building Armies from Scratch. This is a process that is similar to that given in 3.2, but differs in one important aspect. The procedure in 3.2 is intended for armies that TalonSoft originally planned to put into Rising Sun but didn't. Building one completely from scratch entails creating an army that was never intended to be there. One such army is that of Thailand. The way to do this is to simply take one of the slots being used for a pre-existing Axis of Allied army and use it for the new army. The slot used must be one that isn't already being used inside the game. For the Thais, the selected slot is that of the Romanians. The army is then created using the procedures outlined in 3.2. The one drawback to this is that unless one goes into the rsorg.exe file and edits the Romania entry to read, Thailand (done using a hex editor), then the Order of Battle Editor will always show the new army as that of Romania. This is the only change to the procedure outlined in 3.2.


4. CONCLUSION.

As can be seen, transferring armies to, or creating armies in Rising Sun is a lot of work. But once done, the possibilities for the game become almost endless. Essentially, any army using World War Two equipment can be simulated and the game can be easily extended into the 1950s and beyond. Another TalonSoft series of games called the "Operational Art of War" can provide the proper graphics files and armed with these tools, there is no reason to have to wait on the developers at Talonsoft to release expansions that may or may not meet with customer desires.

MAKING AN ORGANISATION

The following was extracted from the War Office Article "How to make a game for west front."

First off, we need to define terms and so avoid possible confusion. The platoon.oob has little to do with Order of Battle, despite its file name suggesting so. You have seen, above, that the platoon.obx is just an encoded platoon.oob, and all the platoon.oob does is define the units that appear in battle. Some of these are platoons, others vehicles, guns and individual officers. Only in the second column - Strength - can this file relate to a platoon.
Order of Battle is defined in these files:
Company.oob
Battalion.oob
Regiment.oob
Brigade.oob
Division.oob
Corps.oob
Army.oob
These files look similar to the *.org files that you can create in wforg.exe, but there is more to it than that. For example, if you create a battalion with the Editor, with selected Companies, a platoon or two, and then put in a Commanding Officer, most likely that CO will not be able to exert his authority over the Battalion. That is to say, effective Orgs may be created only in the above listed *.oob files (not including the platoon.oob).
Next, remember that Talonsoft has not created true Order of Battle files. Very largely, they have merely copied the organisation of the army at that period of history. This becomes more true the closer you get to modern times. Let me digress in order to explain. Prior to the 20th century, it was usual for an English regiment to be composed of two battalions: one serving overseas and the other recruiting and training at home, and these two would rotate. The regiment was not a fighting unit, but an organizational one.
Today, the battalion is regarded as the smallest unit that can serve a nation independently and when the UK sends a battalion to serve overseas, it is an organised as a Battalion Group. This unit does not exist prior to being sent overseas and is composed specifically for the job to hand. If the basic requirement is for infantry, then the core battalion will be selected from the Infantry. Other units are then attached, depending on the foreseen requirements.
Similarly, in WW2, divisions sent into a theatre of war were usually composed of
a core division with many other units attached to it. As technology advanced and firepower becomes more deadly, so the size of the basic fighting unit has shrunk. Throughout history, the basic unit was the army, and then Napoleon Bonaparte invented the corps (to allow him to fight two armies at one time). In the first half of the 20th century, the division became the basic unit, and in the second half, the brigade, now it is the battalion. To read more on this, study how the UN forces were put together for the Gulf War with Iraq, and how smaller units have been stitched together for service in the Balkans.
If you attempt to use the Editor to create these units, you will fail, if only for the reason stated above (inserted officers will not exert authority). This method would also fail to reflect how real units are composed (as per the above argument). And finally, that method will fail because units cobbled together by use of the Editor will never work together effectively.
Let us therefore examine how an effective Order of Battle should be written. As a working example, we will use the WW3 files.

Here is an extract from Company01.oob, where 01 is the national number of Russia.

The following pages contain the initial OOB files developed for the Nationalist Chinese Army. They are provided as an example of what different OOB files at different levels should look like. The files also provide a glimpse into the inter-relation that exists between the higher unit OOB files and those at the lower levels. The Nationalist Army is one of the most confusing ones that can be built. This is because of the immense degree of variance between different units. For although their government published and attempted to enforce an official Table of Organization and Equipment (TO&E) for its units, the reality in the field was that unit organization was often dictated by individual unit's commanders and by the availability of scarce resources and equipment. These files are based largely on the officially accepted TO&Es. But individuals designing OOBs for specific engagements should feel free to vary them. Documentation that details the organization of the Chinese Nationalists is fairly scarce and these "official tables" are a "best guess" estimate of various published works and common sense. Chinese equipment reflects a sort of "yard sale" collection of old castoffs from a number of different countries (mostly Italy, Russia, and Germany), mixed in with more modern equipment furnished by the Americans later in the war. There was some captured Japanese equipment used, but it is not included in these files. For like all captured equipment, the limited availability of spare parts and ammunition can severely limit its use. Basically, China was a poor country with great needs, and the hodge-podge of equipment reflects what she was able to afford at the time.
