Operation Varsity

[Sir Eugen Finn]

my question is is there a way when i make a map to designate ardennes, op varsity, or north africa?

[Dartborne]

Open ur map with Europe at war and use the proper "starting_position"

[Sir Eugen Finn]

im about to sound stupid but how do i open it in EaW? i have one that opens base and one that opens Eastern Front but I cannot find one for EaW or how to open the base CoH worldbuilder as EaW.

[Dartborne]

Open the ".info" file of ur map with notepad and replace "Eastern_Front" or "RelicCoH" by "Europe_At_War".

Save and open the map

[Sir Eugen Finn]

ok time to sound ignorant again i have spent the last few days trying with no success to find the ".info" but all i can find are SGA/SGB files pretaining to the maps and i cant even find ".info" related to CoH please tell me what im doing wrong or link a guide to put my ignorance out.

[Dartborne]

If ur map is on sga format, you need extract the files with corsix mod studio

[Sir Eugen Finn]

ok ive got that now thank you, where can i find what starting pos to use?

[Dartborne]

ebps/gameplay/starting_position...(germany/holland/ardennes/africa/italy/scheldt)

[Sir Eugen Finn]

thanks

[Sir Eugen Finn]

ok i must still be doing it wrong even after i change the .info it has no effect on the map editor also i dont have ebps/gameplay/starting_position...(germany/holland/ardennes/africa/italy/scheldt) but rather ebps/gameplay/starting_position...2-6, holland 7, holland 8.

[Dartborne]

just an example:
HeaderInfo =
{
scenarioname = "[EaW-N] Omaha (4)",
scenariodescription = "$18010396",
maxplayers = 4,
date = "01/03/2016 13:25",
scenarioabbrname = "D-Day",
savedname = "",
version = 2004,
mapsize =
{
512,
128,
},
music = "",
scenariotype = 2,
modname = "Europe_At_War",
}

[Sir Eugen Finn]

ok and once that is done what do i do to get it to apply to the map?

[Dartborne]

This is the .info file. Then open the map in WB to edit.

[Sir Eugen Finn]

even after changeing the .info the units and starting pos remain the same. also note that if i republish the map it "corrects" it back to "RelicCOH"

[Dartborne]

open your pipeline.ini file (into CoH directory) and add this:

[project:Europe_At_War]
Global=0
Parent=bia_engine
Description=Europe_At_War.module
DataSource=DataSrc\Europe_At_War
