Generals specific portraits and database

Tue Jun 10, 2008 5:03 pm

Hi everybody.


Just one question. In the models excel database, how can I know what general has a specific portrait?

I thought that it was in the column BC, for example

$ldr_FRA_Lasalle3 has a portrait

NULL, not

But Dominique Larrey, has a portrait and in that column there is a NULL? So where to look at?

Portraits are in column T of the models.xls file (at least in the official 35a version). :tournepas

Column BC has nothing to do with it, its the column telling if the model is a support or not (i.e. 1 or 0 data here)

It is strange, I have two database versions and they are different.

34d, downloaded some time ago, I can see that BC column has 1 or 0 as you said.

35c just downloaded, and here is what I said, BC column with NULL or something like $ldr_FRA_Lasalle3 (for example)


34d has ...P V W... columns, but I cannot see a T

35c, not T!


34d when it is opened it is showed it two parts, for better browsing I think

35c, not splitted

It may happen that some filters are enabled in the xls files. Once you reset these you should see all columns.

Me neither. Viewing or editing the Ageod DB's is the only thing I do with Excel or Open Office Calc. I would never use it to actually calculate something. :p

MS should have called it expel. :king:

Btw., in another forum I've read the following signature: "If MS Word was designed to write anything longer than a word, they would have called it Sentence or Paragraph." :niark:

I have another question :siffle:

In the database, is it possible to know what french generals will appear in a particular scenario, for example the peninsular war?

Yes, you take the Excel file from the 1808-1814 campaign, and you go to the second thumbnail where all the campaign EVENTS are listed...there you'll find a section with leaders reinforcements from both sides... :indien:

Thanks, got it :)


Those excel files are incredibly complex, just wondering who made them :niark:
