When Qclone was King we were able to edit everything.  

I looked at the excel workbook editor but that only edits FPools & Teams.  

Does anyone know of a way to edit the Soldiers, Weapons & Vehichles files??

Thanks

As you can see in this thread i have smashed my head bloody on this subject and doesent have the energy to start it all over again, but i agree about QClone

If you do look into the work book you can see you can edit all of what were previously the ADB files as well as a lot more. (look again)

Sapa forgot to mention that and would rather try and score points.... failed this time.


The workbook also includes data checking so that when you make an error (which you will) you don't have to spend the next six months of your life trying to track it down.


there has also been a very nice exel tool released by triarius.... if using a basic exel worksheet proves too difficult for you give that a try

As well as all the above and on top of what qclone could edit

WaR and tLD also added

How many times you can reinforce a BG (both sides)


must be a few more but it's early.

I dont know,
I would desperatly like to edit the BG's and FP's for WAR
But looking at the workbook for the past few hours the headers (for both tld and war) are just confusing as crap.

Please explain to me how the Headers work here?
Why is colum F of the force pool set at 31 when the info in the header looks like it tells you it should be set somewhere between 0 to 4

That description is wrong for column E. It should be the same as G, I, etc. as it is the team number that goes in the column.

The workbook is easy to use just tedious like editing the FP has always been due to the amount of data.

In your screen shot
row 5: BG = 0; Name = KG Peiper; nationality = 1
row 6: Difficulty = 0; Day/Turn = 0; team = 2, quantity = 2;repeat to fill team slots available
row 6: Difficulty = 1; Day/Turn = 0; team = 2, quantity = 2;repeat to fill team slots available

So for each BG you must set the teams available each day at each difficulty level for the number of days in the campaign then repeat with the next BG.

And it is sooo easy compared to the BGEdit program...

Just a quick desription of what you are looking at in that screen shot .

Column A

A:4    54 = no of Battlegroups defined.
A:5      0= The class number of this Battlegroup
A:6-10  The difficuty level on the first day of the campaign
A:11-15  The difficulty levels on the second day of the campaign
etc

Column B


B:5  The name of This Battlegroup
B:6-10  The first Day of the Campaign Defined
B11-15   The second Day of the Campaign Defined
etc

Column C

C:5   team side - Allies or Axis

C:6   The first team type available at easiest difficulty for the first day of the campaign Battlegroup team refers to **teams.txt (in this case 2 = SS Zugtrupp)
C:7     the first team type available at the next difficulty level for the first day of the campaign
C:8     next difficulty level
C:9     next difficulty level
C:10   Highest difficulty level

C:11    The first team type available at easiest difficulty for the second day of the campaign Battlegroup team refers to **teams.txt (axteams.txt in this case 2 = SS Zugtrupp)
etc

Column D

D:6    The number of teams available of team typpe defined in C:6
etc

You see colums C and D work as Pairs

this continues on for E and F, G and H, I and J  etc until the pair AO/AP

So it's simply a matter of editing the team type you want on each day of the campaign at each difficulty level

Thanks for the help.

And my first post was wrong,its collum E not F that I was trying to describe.

You do not edit the fpools.tx/sadb with BGedit... no wonder you are having trouble.

[schrecken]

The workbook is easy... I can do it.

So can firefox

that should say it all.

Oooops!

If the simple exel workbook is too difficult to understand put your famous european intellect to work on Accolades or the CCEditor.

Again, even I with my limited antipodean intellect can manage to use tose tools.

Mafi has now a tool for editing the BTD's... which is a beauty, but I in my lumpen proletariat way stick to exel as I can safely edit X:Y co-ordinates without having to tax myself too much... i know simple tasks such as this may have been considered not worth learning in those enlightened northern climes.

I'll suggest a simple learning tool, it's a game I played with my 4 year old and has prepared me for btd editing... Battle ships

Forget I asked

It's Bullshit the workbook is labeld wrong.
And it's Bullshit whenever trying to get a thread going about the workbook trying to understand it.

Damm thing ends up going off topic and only one,two posts with any real help.
