NCP_DB TROUBLES seem not to have an end.
But the problems I already reported here in past days, (readarding Setup_scenery EVENTS and CITIES sheets) yesterday I met seriuor troubles with MODELS excel template: processing it according to the consolidated routine I got corrupted mdl files for all generals!!!!!
Ex:
UID = 1944
NationTag = FRA
Name = $Model_Name_FRA_Mortier2
Alias = ldr_FRA_Mortier2
ShortName = $Land
Text = symbol_general_2.png
Kind = $colFRAMain
Family = Unit_FRA_Mortier.png
ImageID = Mortier
Sound_FactionTag = 1
Portrait = 1
CbtSignature = 1
OffFire = 1
DefFire = 4
Initiative = 10
Range = 2
ROF = 1
Protection = 1
Hits = 80
MenPerHit = 0
HorsesPerHit = 0
GunsPerHit = 0
Cohesion = 0
DmgDone = $LitFoot
CohDone = 120
AsltDmgDone = 100
AsltCohDone = 100
Move Type = 22
Move Ratio = 22
CohMove = 1
AtrMove = 2
BaseCohLoss = 0
BaseAttrition = 3
DetectLand = 0
DetectSea = 10
Blockade = 0
HideValue = 1
Weight = 30
ProgRate = $ldr_FRA_Mortier3
Patrol = 0
Evasion = 1
TechUpg = 0
TrainUpg = 0
CapturePerc = 0
IsSupport = 0
SupplyUsage = 1
SupplyStore = 0
AmmoUsage = 0
AmmoStore = 0
SupHitPen = $Charismatic
SupMovePen = $HotHead
SupCbtPen = $Master_Driller
Attributes = $Dispersed_Move
Ability0 = $Guard_Commit
Ability15 = 2
Ability16 = 10
POLValue = 100
MoneyCost = 2
Conscriptcost = 21
WarSupplyCost = 3
BuildRate = $Marshal
LeaderRank = 1
MaxRank = Yes
Title = 4
LandLeader = 3
NavalLeader = 2
Defensive =
AIRole_Skirmisher =
AIRole_Raider =
CustomNames =
But the fact NCP gives a mess of errors during the upload, when new mdl files are tested, it's clear from their examinations that data do not match the proper fields.
In the quoted example all but one special ability command lines are misplaced:
SupHitPen = $Charismatic
SupMovePen = $HotHead
SupCbtPen = $Master_Driller
Attributes = $Dispersed_Move
Ability0 = $Guard_Commit
Again I bypassed troubles by manipulating the original NCP instalaltion MDL files, (Model and Unit), and then manually edited mdl_Alias.ini and uni_Alias.ini, but the main problems with NCP_DB are till unfixed and their reason is unknown!
