Adding boats to the KIAs report?

[GottaLove88s]

Pip/Andrew, How do I add 'boats' to the Killed in Action report screen?

[Amaris]

I tried to modify the final result of battles with modify the RESULTS.TXT but BA don't like that.

I think you were on the right track, you should be able to supply your own Data/UI/Results.txt to include boats, which is type 5 in the standard terrain file. If you follow the pattern for ResultsType#, ResultsKills#, and ResultsCas# adding another row should work. The type name is in string IDS_SQUADTYPE#, I think BA only has the strings up to wheeled.

As always, there is the potential for a conflict with a future update when overriding a core UI or script, but I don't think this one is particularly likely to be changed in a patch.

[Amaris]

Very interesting! Thanks I'll check that

It works!



Adds into \data\ui folder the following RESULTS.TXT file:
