Smolensk XP1 and XP2

[GerryM]

Hello All:

When you add these packs to your Smolensk folder do they change the OOB for the original scenarios or do they just do this for the XP scenarios.

Also thought I saw a reference to some art work included. Again that would not change things for the original scenarios?

Thanks,

Gerry

If I was a betting man I would bet that the new art units are new additions to the game and using the new OOB's would not affect the other scenarios.

I would be very careful though and make sure to either use JSGME or backup all original files before loading up these extra packs, just in case.

Boy this info was buried away in my mind right at the back in the dark!

I am 99% sure that the XP1 pack just adds additional scenarios with no other changes.

I just looked at the XP2 pack and that has additional scenarios, revised OOB (the main change being German company level units) and revised art work, i believe that the art work in XP2 will overwrite some of the original art.

Thanks for digging deep; I know it's the oldest title.

Any idea if XP2 changes the OOB for the original scenarios.

On another note I am using JSGME but did not realize I could use it for XP1 and XP2 types of things (they are .exe files I think). I thought it only worked with mods.

Thanks again,

Gerry

XP2 does not alter the stock scenarios in any way, including the OOB - it has its own OOB, map and pdt files for use with its scenarios. The art with it is optional and as Foul stated will overwrite original or VM art - there is a download for just the scenario related files, no art, for those that don't want to use the art that comes with it.

That's very helpful. I will find the XP2 w/o the art work then and I can always add mods later.

Here is the page you need http://members.shaw.ca/gcsaunders/smolensk_bp2.html the download links are at the foot of the page and as Rick said there is a seperate link for XP2 without the art work.

Thanks.

All XP2 scenarios have XP2 in their titles. Figures, don't it? :-)
