JSGME I have not tried yet, but I'd doubt it's useful here. Moddability is also going to be enhanced still, so we will hopefully not need it.


For mods, make a "Mods" folder in ..\Documents\My Games\Order of Battle - Pacific\

In this "mods" folder make a subfolder for every new mod. In these you need to replicate the folder hierarchy form the main game.

Example - you want to use other units stats

1. in this case your modded units.txt file needs to be in ..\Documents\My Games\Order of Battle - Pacific\Mods\yourmodname\Data

Thank you BEBRO.Where do the scenarios /campaigns I see they have a different structure and they don't show up from MODS. I assumed the downloadable user scenarios were treated the same as mods but I tend to think they are handled differently.I'll backup my good install and experiment today.I downloaded a test mod where the Churchill tank is a part but if I add 3 or more mods will they show up as choices??? Thank you for good developer support and a great game

If there are more mods than fit on the screen there are (rather ugly looking) scroll button on the left and/or right side of the screen.

The DLC scenario are saved into the Scenarios folder, not mod folders. Since they work with the original game content, they are not considered as mods.

FYI we are currently working on a test mod ourselves and have discovered - and fixed - several shortcomings in the system. Next patch should allow you to make more or less total conversion mods.
