Hello, I was trying to experiment by adding a new unit, to the vanilla grand campaign (the DLC), in this case an SS Tiger.
What I did was:
1. copied the SS_Tiger_1.png across to \graphics\units
2. added a line at the bottom of \data\equipment.pzeqp (by copying the Tiger_I line and changing the ID and .png). I changed the activation date to 01.01.1939 to see if it showed up in Poland.
However this failed to work.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks

I notice in your line, that the unit class is missing (i marked in red). So the game will not recognise your unit.

Hey Nico, thank you, that worked perfectly. Now there is no picture in the top right hand corner of the purchase units menu, so what's missing there?

Those are the Big Unit pictures.
They have the SAME name (and extension .png) as the icon and are located inside the "UI\bigunits" folder. You can use whatever you want: real pictures, 3d models, etc.

Regards.

Thanks Akkula.

My compliments on your Soviet Storm mod...a fantastic mod, excellent scenarios and units, especially the German units like the SS_Tiger

Hello again,
For some reason none of these units are showing up in the game, any obvious reason that I've missed?
Thanks.

New units appear only in a new/in the next scenario, not after loading a savegame in a current scenario!

Maybe this is the problem?!

Hello Magic, well, I'm starting a new scenario each time, in fact I'm starting the Poland vanilla campaign form the DLC! Funny think is, the Tiger worked intially, then I added additional units and it disappeared! Very strange. Thanks anyway.

Hmm, indeed very strange...I´ve unfortunately no idea!

Thanks again Magic.

Could someone possibly test the equipment file and see if these units appear in DLC Grand Campaign 1939?

thank you.
