hello im a noob at this kinda stuff i like playing games thru then try and change strengths and stuff.wanted to see if someone can give me a step by step way to change like early tanks to have tiger 2 or changes like that plz if someone dont mind again if possible basically like explaining to a kid like i said im a noob this kinda data is more difficult than other games like officers.

Hello

I can not give you a step by step way to change things. But I can give you some links where you can read about it. I think there you will find your information:

1.) WitE Editor Manual DRAFT v0.1 from bcgames:

look here: tm.asp?m=2874235

2.) An example how to make new units from Helpless:

look here: tm.asp?m=2639590

3.) A very nice thread about Scenario Design as an AAR from bcgames:

look here: tm.asp?m=2894384
(right now he does not made any units...but hopefully in 1-2 weeks you can read how he makes some (also with tanks))



Hope it helps,

Omat

P.S.: First link was wrong.

thank you so much

ok i went thru some info its still alittle hard to understand i guess i will ask this at start of campaign i want to add tiger tanks how and where can i put these thanks for any info

Hello.

First: if you do this you cant play the normal scenarios because you are going to change the generic data. So maybe a second installation of WitE is necessary.
If you do this you do it on your own risk.

1.) Make a back up from ../Gary Grigsby`s War in the East/dat
wrac.dat
wrair.dat
wrdevice.dat
wrleader.dat
wrobdat.dat

2.) Start the game, go to the editor load generic data. click on "Ground Elem". Go to ID Number (left)0025. It`s the Tiger. Look left and click on "First year" and change it to 1941.

Save the generic data.

3.) "Load scenario": 1944-45 Campaign to edit it. Now you see the map. go to the admistration Tab and click on "Quit and exit to Main Menue" (see 5.1.2.4 WITE-Manual)

4.) Click on Scenario Name: rename it to Gunhoir-Tigers
5.) Click "unit" and on the right go to unit number 1406 click on it, change left the "delay" to 0. Do this witch unit 1407-1419

6.) Save the scenario

7.) close the editor

8.) Now you can start your scenario. You have units with Tigers and producing Tigers.


Hope it helps...
