Is it possible to add the tank commander tiger Befehlspz VIE to the "axsteams" file using the data from the "vehicles" file by analogy, or is there a limitation on the number of groups in the mod (game) engine?

Yes I know. I figured out how to add combat groups, vehicles, weapons, etc. to scripts from the "Base" folder, using the notepad ++ program.

Far easier to mod the /data/base files using a spreadsheet app (Open Office, Libre Office etc) in conjunction with the LSA workbook. Just be sure to save as .txt

Hello everyone. We found out such a bug - the SS units have paratrooper (FJ) badges in their buttonholes, and German armored vehicles have German infantry badges in their buttonholes. How to fix it?)

What data does the Static BGroups file contain? What do they affect?

re: wrong "badges" - I assume you mean the rank insignia "gadgets" shown to the left of the soldier's name on the Soldier screen. Those are specified in columns E and I in the ***teams.txt files. The gadget graphics themselves are contained in the Graphics/*.gdg files. Use the Munger tool to access those.

re: data in StaticBGs.txt - if you reference the column headers on the Static BGroups tab in the aforementioned LSA WORKBOOK, the data consists of:
"Count" - number of static battle groups
"Class" - static BG index number; "Name" - name of static battle group; "Side" - Allied (0) or Axis (1) all static BGs must be on the same side; "Map Index" - which map that static BG is deployed to. Maps are listed sequentially in the Maps/StratMap.txt file.
"Team Class 0" - index number of the first team in the BG; "Map Tile Index 0" - location where first team is deployed; "Team Class 1" - index number of the second team in the BG; "Map Tile Index 1" - location where second team is deployed; etc. etc.

Errata:

The Nations tab in the workbook somewhat better explains how columns E & I synchronize in ***teams.txt, although their arrangement differs between stock LSA and GJS.

Map Tile Index (map location) in StaticBGs is best determined using mafi's 5CC map tool. Modified StaticBGs files can be used to create battle scenarios that deploy the AIs custom forces to preset locations. Example below.

The data/base *.txt files use tab separated values

Hi,
German infantry badges being "goofed up" has previously been reporting, but I wanted to focus on gameplay related editing for versions 9.5 and previous.
Thanks though for mentioning it.
At this point, I have no plans to make a newer version ... I'm content with 9.5

I've never taken the time to figure out what the exact problem is ... and I'm not an expert on German uniforms and badges.

Therefore, question:
Are the badges just mixed up, and can be swapped to different graphics already in GJS ... or are new graphics required to correct the problem?

The SS inf badge issue is solved by editing column I from '1' to '2' for those units

Heer inf units need to have col I edited from '2' to '0'.

Heer armored units need to have the ten SORANK13_xxx gadgets imported from stock LSA screen gadgets.

SS armored units need to have the ten SORANK53_xxx gadgets imported from stock LSA screen gadgets. For those units then edit col E from '1' to '5' and col I from '1' to '3'.

Game gadgets might need similar corrections.

Additional corrections should be made to infantry units that have crew soldier types (ex. SS Zugfuhrertrupp #131) as well as all the Kompanietruppen that are all mislabeled as Zugfuhrergruppe.

Big thanks for taking time to come up with a solution Jatke.
That's a good start point to make corrections, and nice to know it can be done without having to create new graphics.

No other icon graphics are required. I suppose you need to edit the Uniforms.txt file in order for the icons to appear for the military purpose of the unit - infantry, crew of armored vehicles, etc.

The rest of the mod is excellent, and the inconsistency of the icons in general does not affect the gameplay in any way))

Hi, I use these settings ... but sometimes am ok with "Morale" ON.
For LSA GJS though, "Morale" OFF ... is best (in my opinion) because it gives the Allies a better chance to get off the beach maps, due to battles not ending with low "Morale". Battles seem more intense too.

Interesting that you noticed a difference in your gameplay when using these settings. Thanks for mentioning it.

Yes, good catch, the Uniforms.txt also needs adjustment. Copy the # Nation 1, Style 1 (German SS) lines and paste over the # Nation 1, Style 2 (German Infantry) lines. The color coding for Nation 1, Style 2 is the same as Nation 1, Style 0. No need to duplicate the Heer uniforms. In Axsteams then change all PzGren teams from 2 in column I to 0. This will change their rank badges from SS to Heer.

This edit to PzG teams is a compromise. Wikipedia states, "[their] Waffenfarbe was also changed from either white (in the case of Motorized Infantry) or rose pink to a meadow-green shade previously worn by motorcycle troops. Some units did not change over their designations and/or Waffenfarbe accoutrements until 1943, and many veteran Schützen ignored regulations and kept their rose-pink until the end of the war." If you care to enforce these 1942 uniform regulations, you could copy the ten (Luftwaffe) SORANK50_xxx screen gadgets, which have green piping, from stock LSA. Paste the # Nation 1, Style 0 (German Infantry) uniform color lines over # Nation 5, Style 0 (Canadian Infantry). Then edit PzG teams to (column E) 5, (column I) 0

Copy the # Nation 2, Style 3 (SS vehicle crew) lines and paste over the # Nation 5, Style 3 (Canadian unused) lines. Currently, SS vehicle crew uniform colors arent being used.

Ost teams should also be changed as these currently are using Heer uniforms. In Axsteams.txt edit all Ost teams from 1,0 to 5,1. In Uniforms.txt, then copy the Ost uniform color coding used in The Longest Day (shown below) and paste over the # Nation 5, Style 1 (Canadian unused) lines.

# Nation 5, Style 1 (Ostruppen)
0x000000, 0xf7f8f4, 0xf6f7f3, 0x0000ff, 0xfffffd, 0xffffff, 0x0601fa, 0x000000
0x000000, 0xf7f8f4, 0xf6f6f4, 0xfffefe, 0xfffffe, 0xffffff, 0xf8f8f8, 0x000000
0x000000, 0xf7f8f4, 0xf7f8f4, 0xffffff, 0xffffff, 0xffffff, 0xfcfcfc, 0x000000

Again, I have not addressed any of the corresponding edits that would need to be made to the SMRANKXXX_xxx graphics in the GameGadg.gdg file.

From all appearances, these data and graphics got garbled when the GJS mod was ported from TLD to LSA. Easy to get off-track when editing six .txt and .gdg files with cross-dependencies.

The uniform RGB hex values are standards that can be determined in most image editing programs (GIMP etc), or on a website such as https://www.htmlcsscolor.com/

If you care to edit individual gadgets after unpacking them from the .gdg files with CCMunger (attached below), or edit any other CC graphics files, mafi's RTB tool converts from basic file formats (.bmp, .jpg) to .tga with the correct bit depth so CCMunger can repack them properly. Just maintain the original image dimensions.

How Osttruppen can have Russian names? Do I need a new file (RUNames or something like that)?

Attempting to answer that question revealed another flaw in the GJS mod - the nations.txt file is in the wrong format. It uses the TLD format not the LSA format which places the values and names of the different nations above, instead of below, the # comments. I think the actual problem is that LSA expects a tab separation instead of spaces between the pound sign (#) and the comment text string, but Im not motivated to verify that assumption.

Using the attached nations.txt will rectify the problem of GJS not differentiating the XXnames and XXvox files correctly. Edit all Ost teams to 2 in Column E and new scenarios containing Ost units will use the RUNames.txt and RUvox.sfx files. Then (instead of the Ost team edits I suggested in a post above), edit all Ost teams from Col E 1 to 2, and Column I 0 to 1. In Uniforms.txt, then copy the Ost uniform color coding used in The Longest Day (shown below) and paste over the # Nation 2, Style 1 (German FJ) lines.

# Nation 2, Style 1 (Ostruppen)
0x000000, 0xf7f8f4, 0xf6f7f3, 0x0000ff, 0xfffffd, 0xffffff, 0x0601fa, 0x000000
0x000000, 0xf7f8f4, 0xf6f6f4, 0xfffefe, 0xfffffe, 0xffffff, 0xf8f8f8, 0x000000
0x000000, 0xf7f8f4, 0xf7f8f4, 0xffffff, 0xffffff, 0xffffff, 0xfcfcfc, 0x000000

The end result should be that Ost teams will use the RUNames.txt file, the RUvox.sfx file, as well as the distinctive uniform coloring they had in stock TLD.

At this point I think I should take my own advice and incorporate all these changes I've suggested in this thread by actually modifying all these files rather than simply yakking about doing so. One truth Ive learned after diddling with CC files for a quarter century is that 99.9% of the problems encountered in modding are due to your own damn mistakes Smile

Hi, Jatke, the green waffenfarbe Panzergrenadier uniform is included in TLD mods Battle for Caen and Ground Tactics. I attach an example.

As far I know, Ground Tactics includes the most accurate and comprehensive uniforms. For example in the german side it shows the heer assault gun uniform, SS assault gun uniform, SS panzer, Heer panzer, SS camouflage infantry uniform.

I attach a zip with an example (screencapture) of each uniform. It would be the icing on the cake.

Using CCMunger is a 3 step process. After placing the CCMunger.exe in the same directory as a copy of a .gdg file:

1) Use the Gadget->OPEN function to browse to, select, and open the .gdg file copy

2) then use the Gadget->EXTRACT function. This unpacks all the hundreds of gadgets as .tga files in the same folder.

Edit these as desired, then save as .bmp or .jpgs. Use RTBtool to convert these .bmp or .jpgs to the correct .tga bit depth (fyi: 24 bpp)

3) Use the Gadget->REBUILD function to repack all the .tgas back into a .gdg file.

CCMunger can extract and rebuild other Graphics file archives as indicated on its toolbar. It was common for games to use aggregate .tga graphics files like CC's .gdg, .pix, .azp, etc back in the '90s.

You can skip the edit and save as .bmp/.jpg - convert to 24 bpp .tga with RTBtool if you have Photoshop or some other image editing app capable of saving edited .tgas directly as 24 bpp. GIMP and most other cheap PShop-knockoffs cant. Hence the need to save edited .tgas as .bmp/.jpg - then use RTBtool to batch convert those to the necessary 24 bit .tga format.

Another item of note is that CC treats pure white graphics (0xFFFFFF) as transparent.

Hi Berger,
Interesting you mention this. It was squadleader_id who made those changes for Ground Tactics ... he was helping with the mod. I was using a different CCS forum name at that time (davidssfx).

here are some of the things he did regarding uniforms:

List of changes - squadleader_id:
Gadget files (CCImages, ScrnGadg, GameGadg):

-New and expanded rank gadgets:
+ Heer Panzer crews: Black panzer Wrap, death's head collar tab, pink waffenfarbe
+ Waffen-SS Panzer crews: Black panzer Wrap, SS collar tab rank insignia, pink waffenfarbe
+ Heer Assault Gun crews: Feldgrau Assault Gun Wrap, double Litzen collar tabs with red piping, red waffenfarbe

Honestly, I never paid much attention to uniforms in CC ... mostly because I was busy thinking about mod stuff.
But I recently switched on the "scale front end" option in the General options ... in order to make the "Soldier" screen larger.

And it does look much better having more historically correct uniforms.

How historically accurate is the composition of battle groups in GJS?

These files correct various uniform, rank badge, team name & type, voice effect and file format issues in the GJS 9.5. Not to use for an already underway GC. These files will be in GJS 9.6.

Hello everyone))
The following question arose - can small-caliber anti-aircraft guns 20 and 37 mm be able to fire at aviation, or were they added to BG as a means against infantry and weakly armored vehicles?

Small caliber AA guns can't fire at airplanes during an airstrike. You must use them against infantry, guns and soft-armored vehicles (cars, half-tracks).

And they are actually used this way in the war.

Hello everyone!
The question arose - were the Browning M2 heavy machine guns used by the Commonwealth forces, in the infantry units, during the campaign in Normandy?

Organic in the infantry and armored divisions (British, Canadian, Polish), the Vickers machine gun was used in combat: the infantry divisions had an independent machine gun battalion, and the armored ones had an independent machine gun company at their disposal. In contrast, British airborne divisions included a platoon of Vickers machine guns at battalion level, for both paratroopers and airborne (glider borne) units.

The Browning M2 machine gun equipped both the Sherman tanks and the M10 tank destroyer (in both variants, with 3-in and 17-pdr cannon), plus the M3, M5 half-tracks and White Scout Car. As a practice, but nothing official, British tankers dismounted the Browning M2 because it tended to tangle in the branches of the bocage; in the half tracks, including those in motor battalions organic to Armoured Divisions, the heavy machine gun was replaced with the Bren light machine gun. This surplus of Browning M2 heavy machine guns has been used in various other unofficial field improvisations, such as equipping Bren carriers with one of them.

i hope it helps

Hello everyone. The question arose - how to place static battle groups on the map when creating a campaign?
In the GJS campaign DDay to June 30, static battle groups appear on the map when the campaign starts. How are they placed on the map if there is such an option in the campaign editor, or there is no list of such groups?

Static BG's are edited with the StaticBGs.txt file.
In this file is a list of Static BG's, and the map number they are deployed to, as well as, the units they have available in the Active Roster.
