Hello Yves. I know, but does the game recognize this type of format? It seems to me that the format is CVS (separator, period, comma). I must have seen this on the forum. Greetings. Bruno.

With these 3 parameters you can load, edit and save the *.pzeqp files directly with Libre Calc or Excel.

TOTAL ELITE MOD and other ...

yes, it is a mountain of work to insert a "foreign" eFile or a mod, like The Total Elite Mod in LoV REDUX. And yes, it is not impossible ... But without editing, there will be no success integrating a foreign eFile.

LOV in VANILLA UI ...

I think if you delete from LoV REDUX in folder "Expansion2" - "pc" all relevant graphics elements (in folder "UI" and "Graphics") and also one or the other "htm" file (in the folder "UI ") - eg "main.htm" ... Sure ... is it possible!

The alternative: Copying the scenarios to the folder Data is also possible. Under certain circumstances, but you must then edit at least one file in the folder "UI": You must insert the starting points in "gamesetup.htm" AND port all unit graphics (including audio, efx, etc.).

eFile in Notepad and a spreadsheet program ...

After having copied and pasted the content of Notepad's eFile in a spreadsheet program, then edited, modified and adjusted the values, as you see fit, you can also copy back again ... Mark the complete table, copy and paste it into the opened eFile at Notepad. Then save eFile in Notepad, done ...

Hello Mr Soldberg. Danke for the files. I have version 1.0a. For v1.1, install with JSGME ? It's too difficult to add elite units in your mod and it's very good like that. Greetings.

HIDDEN ALTERNATIVES

Already since the release there are some "hidden alternatives" in the mod that allow a more individual look with a little knowledge ...

Under Expansion2 - pc - Graphics you will find a perhaps interesting alternative to the current look of the minimap ...

Image
By renaming "MiniMap - PG" to "MiniMap" (whereby you should save the original "MiniMap") you get now the MiniMap in the style of the old Panzer General ... Of course this can also be used in all other mods. ..

By a similar procedure (rename) can be further alternatives "activate" in the UI folder and its subfolders ...

Image
An alternative headbase can be "activated", which was developed for a later UI mod ...

Image
The flag alternative for the nations identifier in the unit info screen here also without dark border ...

Image
In addition to Ultimate counterfeiting (showing the tanker's skull, not the SS skull) and General Model, all ranks of the Wehrmacht (including the rank of the Reichsmarschall) can be used individually ...

Image
Not a real alternative, but an option, maybe someday (easier) to integrate more starting points ...

Image
If you do not like the slate look of the weather forecast, you can also install a suitable "colorful" alternative, which also makes a statement about the soil condition ...

Image
An alternative for the purchase menu, which is visually based on the alternative headbase [UI, see above] ...

Image
In the same folder: another interesting alternative ... A wonderful collection of other alternative flags ... If you are familiar with graphics programs, you can insert these flags into the "flags.png" graphic (under Expansion2 - pc - Graphics overlays) ...

Unfortunately a little mishap happened to me ... In the current update (v1.1) I accidentally inserted an incorrect efx file.

Hereby I submit the right efx file!

Hello Mr Soldberg. As you can see in the 2 images, I changed some unit charts using Dwight Camo Sprayshop. But for the units circled in red, there's nothing I can do. I checked the equipment file against the graphics / Units folder (see if the units are written the same, which is the cause of problems), everything matches. Do you have any idea? Greetings. Bruno the Frenchman.

Hello Bruno ...
I think that I have an idea why you have "no success" with some units ...

Look at the example of the Sturmpanzer...

Probably you have looked and edited the units here ... in Panzer Corps - Graphics - Units ...

Hello Mr Soldberg. I wish you a very happy 2019. Despite the update of your mod, there is a problem with German heroes, mainly those of the German navy. There are no pictures. I looked in Data / Heros and there is no entry for the German Navy. No images either in UI / Heros. I tried to modify the heros file by adding a line (0 12 -1 naval1.png), 12 for the Battle Cruiser class, and a heros image named naval1 in the heros images but it doesn't work. Do you have any idea? Greetings.

Hello my french friend! I wish you a great year 2019 too.

In the Vanilla version of the main game were never provided, heroes of the Kriegsmarine (German Navy). For LoV were only considered, a "few" submarine driver ...

Like all content, you can also find the customized hero graphics in the "Expansion2 / pc" folder under "UI / heroes". Take a look at the filenames of our submarine heroes ...

"naval101.png", "naval102.png" etc.

Submarines have the class number "10" ... Do you notice something? So try writing the filenames for Battle Cruiser (12) like this ...

"naval121.png", "naval122.png", "naval123.png", ... maybe it works like that ?!

Looking at the table at the bottom of your post, specifically the 2nd column, I would suggest another solution.

If ground officers are branch 0
and air officers are branch 1
then maybe naval officers are branch 2 instead of 12? (Just tested this theory and it works).

Naval officers are definitely branch 2, not 12. See if this solves your problem.

Hello my fiend. I found the solution with your help and cw58 : for example for a Battle Cruiser class 2 and naval121.png and it works. The only problem is that for naval heroes obtained in previous missions, the image is still missing. But many thanks for your help. Greetings. The French must go on :D
