Normandy 44 scenario mod

[von Mohr]

Comrades,

          I am looking to mod scn # 27cx so it does not have the ZOC feature? I assume there is a line modification to the scn PDT file. Also is there a PDF file guide to PDT files? 

                                         Thanks,  Tom

Using the pcedit program and help/parameter data you will find the difference in zone of control:

Normal ZOC:

Movement Modifiers:
ZOC Movement Multiplier: 0 Movement Elevation Modifier: 10 MP per 100 meters

Fluid ZOC:

Movement Modifiers:
ZOC Movement Multiplier: 100 Movement Elevation Modifier: 10 MP per 100 meters

It appears that if you want fluid ZOC, you have to use the NormandyZOC.pdt

Hope this helps.

Wildb has it, thanks for digging into the details. Alternatively, a new PDT could be created and used, but it doesn't appear to be needed. That is depending on exactly what you mean by no ZOC feature. The fluid ZOC means units can move through unoccupied enemy ZOCs at a cost per hex on top of terrain.
