Everything is ok ? Can you show a picture of the SM79 Torpedo model in your post ?

Known bug should be fixed in the next patch...
Everythings fine but there are no thumbnails (small pictures on the panel at the bottom of the screen)
I know I have to create a new ones, but where to get a pattern, I would like it to look like those in the game

Go to Unit Navigator and download the picture of the SM79 (it is strictly the same picture as in the original game) :

Put the picture in the folder Graphics>Units (create the folders if necessary) :

SM.79(2).JPG

Rename the picture with the same name as for the unit (I suppose it is SM79_T).


Are the names of the units OK ? You should have SM.79(B) and SM.79(T) as for the Ju87C ?

Thanks again, your hints are really helpful
It's easier way, I made almost good thumbnail of Marder II using thumbnail from the game which I save as screenshot :mrgreen: but your way is much easier and faster 8) thanks again Sensei :wink:

Everything else works fine, I put some screenshot in my mod's thread soon

Good finds. Thanks, terminator, for posting these together with the solution. Added to BugDB.

Sigh...neverending...I'll correct them in my mod.

Looks good. Just use the KISS principle. :wink:
And don't forget that most units' stats have ranges for terrain cover (x-y).

I know this is a work-in-progress, but do you plan to add more stats to change in the interface? Like air defense, torpedo stats and such?

Of course, there is still work to be done but the most difficult has been done. Maybe a Beta version next week-end ?

Added naval stats :

I’m afraid it’s an internal mechanism to the game so not editable, but I'm not sure (?)

It’s not clear to me what stan23 means exactly by "cool down". Is this about artillery, torpedoes... :?:

You can't do nothing about arty efficiency-loss in the units file. Or engineers and mines or similar. Those are hard-coded. You can change some of the construction cooldowns, I think (Jap "defensive doctrine", construction group-> airstip and such). Otherwise the only possible editable cooldowns are with torpedoes.

And if you're doing the torpedoes, I guess it would be a good idea to include the "torp. attack" value to be edited, too. I think everybody wishes for some stronger subs... :wink:

I take it you’re talking about this column for the torpedoes on the planes and submarines :

Yep.
Cooldown, range, damage.

EDIT: I forgot you can also change the cooldown in the "switch" column, e.g. for MortarInfantry or BB Primary Guns. But I don't think those should be included in your editor. Too intricate.

I think I’ll open a second window with advanced options (Menu > Options...) but we’ll see about that later.
