Also in LoV-Redux can be "transformed" units. The switch is in a known position ... only the sign / symbol is different ...



All abilities supported by the game are displayed graphically in the "Unit Details" of Redux...



If there are no symbols, there are no abilities.

In the purchase menu, the "transformed" unit can be viewed via the switch symbol. It shows all supported abilities (since PzCrps v1.30)... (see red frame)



Yes... a small detail does not seem to quite fit ... (see yellow frame)


Unit graphics ...

Okay, it's not always easy to tell which mode is currently active, but there's a pretty good way to read the mode elsewhere ... (see green frames)




Messmann's Amulet Mod (and other similar mods)...

Messmann's Amulet Mod (and other similar mods)

First, Redux uses its own e-file and needs it as well. It can not be easily replaced by an e-file of a foreign mod.

Redux uses its own e-file. It is based on the vanilla e-file of the original game and has just been extended to include its own units. Original units were not changed. So, original ships (submarines, destroyers, capital ships, etc.) do not have a multipurpose function in Redux. Redux itself has some submarines and destroyers in the unit pool that can be switched ... (Submarines: Surfaced / Submerged; Destroyer: primary / reconmove). Unfortunately, both states use the same graphics unit.

On the other hand, Redux uses a rather unusual file structure ... Instead of integrating the mod into the game as it may otherwise be used, Redux "hides" in the Expansions2 folder ... Messmann's Amulet Mod (and other similar mods)

The consequence is that most of all previously released mods are not compatible and have no effect on Redux.

Okay² ... still remains the problem with the heroes ... I have not been able to check it yet, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the language ...

In the forum, Niki proposes another version of the mod : LoV-vanilla v0.3 and he's compatible with Total Elite Mod. As niki participated in this mod, I wonder if it's possible. Greetings.

The Total Elite Mod would need some work to make it compatible. If you're interested in just importing the "SS Units" part of the mod then all you need to do (aside from copying the required rows to the equipment file) is to make sure unit IDs do not overlapp with existing ones. The next step invovles copying all SS unit icons and finally - copying relevant entries to the efx file (so that you get sound and animation effects for the newly added unit icons).

It sounds like a lot of work, but it's mostly copy&paste stuff. And re-assigning IDs for newly added units is a quick job if you use Google Spreadsheet or Excel for the equipment file editing.
