RE: Any interest in a doc on map conversion?
Sorry, I had made a pdf also, thinking that same thing, only I wasn't fast enough!!! Thanks for posting that!
Alas I'm not a coder, I wish!! Just a tinkerer, started playing around with the CS games right after I got the original EF in 1998 or something like that, then the campaign disc, looked at all the files in the game to see how things were done, as there was a lot of equipment not included originally! I like the Axis Minors, and have a great deal of literature on them, so I started with Hungary remaking the oob's and making the graphics for missing units. The maps really led me on, since the code changes from map to map in the game, but figured it out after awhile! When Stefan created his modern add-on based on Divided Ground, I really wanted some of the European maps in the game, as well as some cool randoms I had generated/edited, so that really did it!! I hope you guys play around with the stuff and get a feel for it, it's not as complicated as it might seem at first!
Anyhow, if you guys ever have any questions about anything, feel free to ask, I might have an answer, or might not, but I've been inside these things for quite some time now!!
Best regards,
Mike
