Slitherine

I make extended Equipment file with switchable units.
Also, Im use my Enchanced Movements Mod (EMMY) for this. ( http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 47&t=76308)

Any suggestion welcome.

OK. Lets start.
First at all: Its a TEST equipment. Many things are just ideas and can be changed.

Of course we are start at Wehrmacht.

1. Infantry. "Queen of Battlefield".

CAN'T BE MOTORIZED. Yep
1. Defence Stance (default). Standart stats.
But: Move 2 (e.g. 2 Hex on Dry Road).
2. Attack Stance (switch).

Congratulations! A lot of interesting ideas to give several units useful "switching" abilities!

This icon, could be used as a variation to the Wehr Infantry one, when switched to the "defensive" stance... Also, here is a special efx file specially made for it.

Thanks for assistance, guille !
I think your icon for variation to the Wehr Infantry in "def" Stance will be usefull in my Equipment.
But can't understand about "special efx file ":(

Yrfin... Thanks for your kind words.
The new .efx file is tailored to the new position of the rifle muzzles of the figures present in the icon (in fact, only one of them has changed position compared to the original icon). This will cause that if you use the new icon with the regular .efx file, you will be seeing in the game the muzzle flashes separated from the rifle muzzles that the soldiers are firing while engaging an enemy unit,creating a strange view of the animation for the new icon.

Lol. Still can't see a "new .efx file."

OK.
Now Im introduce my vision of PzC Equipment (version with New Types of Movements and Switchable Units).
Like I said - its a TEST version. Every player can download and test it .
Its version 0.01 (without additional icons). Movements optimized for 5 km/Hex.

Installation.
1.Install New Movements Pack first.
http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 8&start=40

2.Download equipment_switch.zip. Extract it. Copy equipment.pzeqp to Folder /Panzer Corps/Data Folder. 3.Test it and send me your feedback.

Future version...
1. Icons for Switchable Units.
2. Special switchable units (Branderburger.Rgt, Stab (Fi 156B switchable)).
3. Switchable Structure (Mines/Forts). Yeh ! Now you can purchase it and build your defense line.

Simplicity. Agility. Reality. Fun.
Old Game with new Features

I was refering to the file I also attached with the icon file... The one with the little muzzle flashes, this is meant to be copied into the Animations folder, and then the efx.pzdat file should be edited to reference it...

Like always: few bugs fixed .

Version 0.02. Also I add Euipment_info File (Excel file with Red value for changed Stats Units). 1. Pz IV (short)/ Pz IIIN can be switched to Art mode.

2. Add new icons for new Unit:
Stab (Switchabe: Inf Unit with Spot 4 and Radar Trait/Landing Aircraft Unit/Flying Recon with Spot 4).

Download Units_Switchable 0.01. Extract.
Copy all icons to Paner Corps/Graphics/Units Folder.

Corrected equipment file (with new switchable icons:Shutzen and Krad and Reiter).

To be continued...

Version 0.02 Icons for equipment 0.02
Units_Switchable 0.02

Nice bunch of units here... Thanks for sharing!!
