Thanks Ken. Is there anyway to add new ones like the Enfield Rifle for (Reb) Sharpshooters?

I believe the weapon types are hard coded into the main program. The PDT uses a letter and each letter is translated as a weapon name somewhere in the program to be displayed in the unit box and the parameter data screen of the help files. You could assign values to a weapon you wanted in the pdt but you can't change the weapon name that is displayed as far as I know. Since there was no z weapon I added a z weapon to the pdt file, gave it values and then modified an oob file so a unit had a z assigned. I then created a scenario with a unit having a z weapon and when I looked at the parameter data file it showed the values I entered for the weapon but the name was z weapon so I presume that comes from somewhere in the .exe file and would not be changable. I then created a .scn file and opened it with the game, the z weapon had the ranges I made for it although I have no wa of knowing if it used the correct fire values it did seem to work. So I guess you could make your own values for a z weapon but it would not have a name attached to it. Don't know if you could use anything other than a letter for a weapon although I did try using double letters such as aa but that file produced an error when I tried to use it so I guess it has to be a single character. I also tried using some of the other characters such as [ , ? and < but they all produced errors so it looks like the z is the only spare. Lt.Gen.Ken Miller Veteran's Divsion VIII / AoS ![]() |
