Hi
Im making the Operation Weserubung because its fun and theres a lot of combined operations. I like the order of battle to be precise, and have been in contackt with historical nationnal army-centers to get it right. Now I have one big problem left.....I need to ad a country to the scenario-editor. Weserubung SUD was about Denmark, and Denmark are not on the list in the game.
I am making units now corresponding to actual danish units, but I need the country with flag related to apear in the list, so I can make Danish victoypoints, Relate units to Denmark and so. I´d tried some, and had not luck at all. Pls hlp if possible.

It's a bit tricky from memory. I wouldn't add a country - I'd create a custom set of text files and change one of the existing ones (I would use Slovakia).

Make a backup of these files before you change them

In the Data folder: (open in a text editor or Excel if you know how)
nations.pzdat - change Slovakia to Denmark and set its Side (0 or 1)
strings.pzdat has reference to Slovakia - change all of those to Denmark
equipment.pzeqp: add units and set their flag to 11 (Slovakia is country 11 - now Denmark)

Test, test, test...

As I said, it's messy and I did try this months ago before the latest versions were released so the method may have changed and become simpler.
Good luck.

THx. I would like to ad it, but if impossible, I will try like you said, but....
Do I need to Change the country at all? I could just ad, danish units to the country and give the related flag a make over, so It look like the new country´s?
Ex.

Sovakia into Denmark

1 Adding my dansich units to Slovakia
2 Changing the imagefiles with flags for Slovakia
3 Change all original slovak unist 5 years foreward, -( so they arent lost, cant be seen in wwll, but can easaly be reset if wanted )

In the Scenario building proces I will use Slovakia as opponent, but in Scenario presentation I will Call it Denmark, and in the game everyting wil present it self as danish? Or did I miss a catch

I think I will try this, and I will return on result. Still though, im still interested in how to ad a country, so I wont have to mess files used in original or other scenarios.

This is the best way, but you need to make Danish flags and replace them in three files.
flags and purchase are two of them.

Those two I found and replaced, but the third I cant get a hold on. Hmmm--

Overlays/Flags

Update the flag there.

Love you for that one...


Still, this leaves me with an original country in game messed up. So, if someone knows a way to add, not modify, a country, I would love to know. Untill then, I think this method demands an install-file and a get-rid of file.

THink I vill deliver in a install-fill, that copy original files to a back up directory and put my files in instead. The get-rid file will take the back-upfiles and getém back in place. All made in bat-files so it only needs single click for the user.
Hmm, -cant get a bette idea right know. Let me hear If someone else can.
