Create new troops

Good morning, I have a question about adding your own units to the game. What data and images must be available to integrate them?

Aren't you using my mod? It would be easiest if you just looked into it.
A new unit needs

- entry in units file
- new 3D model (or re-use existing)
- units 2D graphics
- entry in language file

Yes, I use your mod, but since I do not understand some things, my question.
Now only the question about the entry in the units file. Does a German tank have to be in the German section or can I put the new unit at the end of the units file?

Doesn't matter.

It will only determine the order of units inside the unit purchase screen. The units at the bottom of the units file will be at the bottom of the purchase screen. That's all.

Okay, then I have one last question. In your mod there is a folder called "Units", however in the whole directory of OoB I can't find a folder where the unit images are. What do I do now?

[GabeKnight]

There are actually two folders named "units" in my mod and you won't find both in the whole directory of OoB. There are many differences between the stock game and a mod; that's why I suggested to look into my mod for reference when adding new stuff.

I'm not sure I know what you're asking here. What do want to know exactly? Where I got them from? Extracted from the game's .assets files or did them myself. But most, if not all, are just modified versions of the originals.

If you wanted to know how to add 3D models, there's a stickie in this subforum, please don't ask me about this stuff.
And you can find many unit pics inside the "unit navigator tool". Also stickied somewhere, in the main forum, I think.

That brings us right to my problem. Firstly, how do I extract the asset files and secondly, in which folder do I have to put the new unit images so that they appear in the game (e.g. if I want to use a flak as a Pak)?
