Bump.

So you can play US and British forces in a skirmish game with random maps.

The Americans fielded bazookas with everything and these lists include some british units to simulate joint operations between the airborne and 11th Armoured and Guards Armoured. Awesome. Just tried a skirmish with the 101st Para (Holland) Lots of British units mixed in, and there seems to be an abu...

There doesn't appear to be any issue. They are spreadsheets and I didn't touch the BA2 data. I just added data to the bottom of the spreadsheet. If there are issues with the spreadsheet, the game will crash. These modified files run clean and you can still play BA2 normally with all of the original ...

It is posted.

This mod is starting the process of porting the Battle Academy units into Battle Academy so players can play skirmishes with Western Allied forces. Users of this mod must have an updated copy of the original Battle Academy because the mod uses textures and graphics from the original. This mod offers...

Well, I have over thirty army lists from Operation Market Garden that ports over all of the Western Allied stuff. I have to find a place to upload this file.

Eagerly anticipating it.

I will post the instructions over the weekend. Trey I've got it working now. I'll have a Western Front Mod Army List available over the weekend. Trey Ok, obviously we can't get the campaigns. How can we get the BA1 units into BA2 to play skirmishes? Can you explain how, so we can figure stuff out, a...

How can we get the BA1 units into BA2 to play skirmishes?

I'm kind of just flailing around in the dark. I can get the BA Core units to show up in BA2 but not the EXPACK ones. I tried copying all of the BA units into the Squads.CSV file in BA2 and I get some error now - Max_Squad_Template_File_Name&&"Icon name too long ..." EDIT: I think I...

John, that was a step in the right direction. Once I ported over those files, it fixed the texture problem. Now, I am trying to solve another data spreadsheet unit merging issue. Trey I fooled around with importing BA units into BA 2 yesterday. I first merged the BA and BA2 unit data csv and xls fil...

I fooled around with importing BA units into BA 2 yesterday. I first merged the BA and BA2 unit data csv and xls files and copied and pasted over the unit txt and s4f files. I made a mod for army list that includes British paras but the textures were missing and I have no idea how to fix that. So, i...

Refresh for the new players.

Trey

This is the mod work that I completed with lists ranging from 1941-1945.

I finally got everything updated into the mod format. The new file download is in the first post. Thanks MikeK for your help in getting the IDS squared away. It should all be good to go now. I see that you can download custom stuff directly through the game. Can I upload this mod in this way? If so,...

I dont think AA trucks can transport. I tried to include as many transports as possible even if it was just 2-4 trucks. The issue is that there is a 64 unit limit in the game and the designers have tied that limitation to the number of slots available in an army list. If you make an army list that h...

I just checked and the panzerschreks are there for the Volksgrenadiers.

Trey

Perfect. I will get these edited this week after I finish the lists. A suggestion for the skirmish is to add an option for the skirmish to pick random army lists both for the player and opponent. Trey If you set the NAME field in ArmyList.txt to be, for example: NAME IDS_ARMY_SAMPLE1 Then create a n...

Very helpful, Andrew. I appreciate you taking the time to explain this. I have the custom campaign set up properly now. The only thing I am not fully grasping is linking the unit names properly so that the UI doesn't show MISSING in the unit name. Would you mind showing me a one line entry as an exa...
