Mexican OOB?

[Akmatov]

Given the situation in Mexico, wondering if anyone might be thinking about a Mexican OOB? Also, several good scenarios in Coyle's book.

You can just use the Green OOB and "capture" whatever equipment you need.

But until somebody actually makes a mexican OOB (Thatdude mentioned he was thinking about making one) you won't be able to use mexican made weapons.

Not that I've ever looked into Mexico's TO&E...but they actually make military weapons/hardware? I though they bought it all.

The attached is a quick stab at Mexico in the Green OOB.

- make a sub folder for the OOB swapper as described in the Game Guide, and unzip to there. Dont overwrite the default green oob!
- Then use the OOB swapper utility to swap the official green or Mexican green as required.

OOB is unsupported - anyone who feels like it can take it further.

Thanks a lot!

Wow thanks Mobhack:)! How about making Mexican flags (into battle.shp and small ones for units/v-flags) too?

I don't do art - me programmer.

And I realised just now I had not got round to the fortifications - so if someone feels like it, then a few bunkers and the formation need doing :)

I tried an AI pick or 2 and it seems OK as an opponent. (One reason the armoured cars are in the tank and armoured cars formations - AI pick - slightly different loads, and the cavalry get an experience hike too)

NB - there were only 25 each of M4 and M3 apparently. So a 10 tank company seems to be fine for Mexico.

Here are some shp files. I put this together a while back.. The only issue was that on the map the flags show up a bit offset. I wasn't able to figure out why but the vehicle and the main screen look ok.

How are you using these files? I dropped all of them into the game data/graphics folder with all the other .shp files. But it doesnt seem to be doing anything.

Any idea's?

[cbreedon]

did you take the Mexico piece of the filenames off?

No. But now that I did it works! Thanks:up:

You wouldn't happen to know how to change the word Green in the nation listings to Mexico?

And one more question, you know how nations flags change sometime? Has mexico's flag changed since 1946?

[cbreedon]

I don't think you can change the name Green.. It is hard coded.

The flag has changed but not much since 1917. Scroll down for pictures and a timeline of the changes. The last change was made in 1968.

OK thanks.

Any chance you could whip up a flag for RED?
