Re: Server Unable to Validate my details?

Working now. Thank you.

People still play this game!

And it looks like quite a few of us.

Re: How to host custom coop scenarios?

Can you please post an image showing the folder tree where you have your campaign installed. It needs to be in the Multiplayer folder in your local folder (Documents/My Games/BA2). Cheers Pip I'm using a custom mission that I made using Paul's 1946 Cold War skirmish mod. I tried dropping the file i...

How to host custom coop scenarios?

I made a scenario but when I host a challenge, the only scenarios I see listed are the vanilla ones.

Re: Edit Skirmish Missions?

3) You don't get the full range of units to choose from. The choice of unit types is limited to about 12 to 15 maximum, chosen randomly, obviously the Skirmishinfo number and the points cost also plays a part in this selection. I saw the option for ALL, but even then the unit selection is extremely...

Re: Edit Skirmish Missions?

What does this variable do in the Squads.csv?

SkirmishInfo

Is this the priority in which the ai will field units?

How would I do this?

How would I create custom army lists and determine which units / which quantities are part of it?

Re: Edit Skirmish Missions?

Unfortunately that is not possible. Thanks. Is there any way to allow players to pick whatever equipment they want as part of their force? I find the current force pools to be a little wonky. It's weird that sometimes you'll have five flamethrower teams and four snipers but lack any infantry squads...

Re: Cold War 46 Skirmish Mod 1.4

Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate this mod. Thanks for your work! Would it be possible to modify two small things- 1. US Jeeps play a .30cal sound (correct) but also an MG42 sound (sounds weird) 2. The M26 Pershing plays a .50cal sound for its coaxial machine gun. Any chance this could b...

Re: OOB Scenario Design Woes

MikeAP, The problem with the AI is that it will not mount a sustained, coordinated, determined attack on a dug-in defender or go deep into the enemy's rear.

Re: OOB Scenario Design Woes

Another example of awful scenario design- Playing through Allies Victorious DLC- M03 - Falaise Gap. I lost my first attempt by 1 turn because I had supply issues for several turns. Not just once - but several times, the Germans ran suicide counter-attacks deep into my rear areas which caused problem...

Re: OOB Scenario Design Woes

Out of curiosity which scenario specifically is your example from? It doesn't matter. I'm not trying to focus my complaints towards anyone specific. I will say though, I did download it from the community box in game. Spawning overwhelming amounts of units is a (poor) way to overcome the inability ...

OOB Scenario Design Woes

I design scenarios for real world military training exercises and I've done some professional design work for other games on the market. I really dislike what I see from almost every vanilla campaign and some of the trends I see with user-posted work. I would offer- this is really not how scenarios ...

Joystick Input Affecting Save/Load Menu

I'm having trouble with the LOAD menu - My joystick seems to be causing the menu to scroll down infinitely.

Without having to unplug my joystick whenever I play, is there a solution for this?

'Disable Mouse Scroll' didn't work.

Weird.
You need to have purchased at least 1 DLC to get access to custom stuff and the editor. Maybe this is the issue.
I figured it out. The 3ID Campaign downloaded as a zipped file. I unzipped it and the button appeared.
